- W2188719990 abstract "The DAM REHABILITATION AND IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (DRIP) has been taken up with the World Bank assistance for implementation initially in four States – namely Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Tamil Nadu – and in Central Water Commission. Few more States are expected to join DRIP at a later stage, for which a provision of unallocated resources has been provided for in the project estimate. The project presently targets for rehabilitation of 223 dams in the four Sates; and with the participation of some more Sates, the number of targeted dams would be about 270.In addition, the project also aims for the dam safety institutional strengthening in the participating States and in Central Water Commission. The main implementation agencies for DRIP are the owners of dams – i.e. Water Resources Departments and State Electricity Boards in the participating States. The overall implementation of the project is being coordinated by Central Water Commission with assistance of an engineering and management consulting firm. DRIP, with an estimated cost of Rs. 2100 crore has become effective from 18 th April 2012, and will be implemented over a period of sixyears. DRIP – Government of India’s new initiative for dam safety in India – was preceded by another World Bank funded project called ‘Dam Safety Assurance and Rehabilitation Project (DSARP)’, which was implemented during the period 1991-99. This paper examines the scope of DRIP in the backdrop of outcome achieved by DSARP, and also describes the implementation arrangement and the status of DRIP implementation. Dams are critical components of the infrastructure in India. The approximately 5187 large dams (4839 completed and 348 under construction) and several thousand smaller dams provide a range of economic, environmental, and social benefits, including hydroelectric power, irrigation, water supply, flood control, and tourism. However, like all pieces of infrastructure, dams age and deteriorate, posing a potential threat to life, health, property, and the environment. Although, in India, a sound foundation was laid for a nation-wide systematic dam safety surveillance programme in 1979, and maintenance and upkeep of the dams are now being recognized as an important activity, yet sufficient funds are not being provided for dam rehabilitation and improvements. In most of the States, budget allocations for maintenance of irrigation projects, including dams, are made on the basis of hectare as a unit under the project command area. This type of budgeting procedure is not equitable and sufficient for the dams. As a result, only annual inspections and routine repairs are generally carried out within the framework of budget allocations. Moreover, with the increase in water resources development activities in the States for creating additional irrigation potential, surveillance and maintenance of dams have started getting even lower priority in respect of allocations of funds. Thus, many dam owners are unable to undertake dam repairs and rehabilitation due to lack of funding. This situation often results in dangerously neglected and deteriorated dams. Given the number and widespread distribution of dams in India, it is clear that the potentially affected populations and sectors are many, and that the effects of dam-related hazards can be very serious. Evidently, allocation for dam operations & maintenance (O&M) needs to be more in line with need-based assessments, and for which India needs to adopt modern asset management planning to guide the efficient operations and, especially, maintenance of dams. In view of above and the largely ageing profile of Indian dams – about 75% of which are over 20 years old – action is urgently required to:" @default.
