1998 floods.

The purpose of the plan is:-

a. To outline the role of the various implementing agencies.

b. To prescribe the organizational setup for flood fighting.

c. To coordinate the activities of the various implementing agencies for flood protection.

d. To outline measures for flood fighting rescue and evacuation of people.

CHAPTER – 1

SALIENT FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT DIVISION NO. 1

1. Sidhnai Barrage was constructed after the Indus Basin Treaty as a component of Indus Basin Project.

This project was launched with the help of the World Bank under an agreement during September 1960 between

India and Pakistan. The Treaty provided that the waters of the three western rivers i.e., Indus Jhelum and

Chenab were to be allocated to Pakistan and the waters of the Eastern Rivers i.e., Ravi, Beas and Sutlej to India.

To meet with the requirement of the areas earlier fed by eastern rivers, a system of replacement works was

implemented under Indus Basin Development Fund Agreement.

2. The new works constructed as result of Treaty, consisted of Mangla Dam, Terbela Dam, Five Barrages

and Eight Major Link Canals to transfer water between the rivers. Some existing canal systems were also

remodeled. These works taken together were called Indus Basin Project.

SIDHNAI BARRAGE

The meaning of the word SIDHNAI is Straight River. A stretch of eight miles of River Ravi at Sidhnai

is nearly straight and does not meander. It is thought that is could be an artificial channel excavated in the

distant past to prevent flooding in the Multan area.

Before construction of the new Barrage, an old weir existed about six miles D/S of the Barrage. The

weir known as Sidhnai Weir could only pass some 100,000 Cs of water as its maximum capacity. A new

Barrage was designed to pass a maximum peak discharge of 150,000 Cs located about 31000 Ft U/S of the old

weir. D/S straight reach was excavated and widened to increase the capacity from 100,000 Cs to 150,000 Cs.

The existing road bridge on Multan Shorkot road and Railway Bridge were re-constructed and the existing weir

was dismantled. The object of new Sidhnai Barrage is to receive water from Chenab and Jhelum rivers from

Trimmu for feeding Sidhnai and Sidhnai-Mailsi-Bahawal Canals.

TRIMMU SIDHNAI LINK CANAL

This link canal was constructed to transfer River supplies of Jhelum and Chenab from Trimmu Barrage to River

Ravi at Sidhnai Barrage Length of this canal is 218,000 Ft with a design discharge of 11,000 Cs. Haveli Main

Canal, with a capacity of 5,200 Cs, also off takes from Trimmu Barrage and runs parallel to the T.S. Link and

after supplying water to the distributaries, it also falls into the River Ravi giving additional supply of 3,700 Cs to

the Sidhnai Barrage.

SIDHNAI MAILSI LINK CANAL

It is constructed to transfer water from River Ravi to Lower Bahawal Canal through a Syphon at River Sutlej

near Mailsi. Its designed capacity is 10,100 Cs with a total length of 310,000 Ft. It is an unlined channel up to

RD: 76+000 and lined from RD 76+000 to Tail. It also supplies canal water to Lower Pakpattan Canal and

Lower Mailsi Canal. This canal supplies Irrigation water to the Districts of Khanewal, Vehari, Multan, Lodhran,

Bahawalpur and Rahimyar Khan.

SIDHNAI CANAL

Initially Sidhnai Canal was fed from old Sidhnai weir. After the construction of new Barrage at present site

Sidhnai Feeder Canal was constructed to feed Sidhnai Canal from new Sidhnai Barrage. This canal supplies

2

Irrigation water to Knanewal and Multan Districts. Its designed capacity is 4,500 Cs with a length of 157+000

Ft.

LEFT MARGINAL BUND AND RIGHT MARGINAL BUND

Two no. Marginal Bunds, LMB and RMB have been constructed to channelize the river flow through the

Barrage. The LMB has a length of 89,500 feet whereas RMB is 115,000 feet long. A Mole Head Spur at RD:

15+000 and J-99+500 on RMB have been constructed as river training and flood protection works to contain,

divert and channelize the main stream.

SPILL CHANNEL

Spill Channel has been constructed U/S of Barrage to escape the surplus supplies of River Ravi during flood. It

has a maximum discharge capacity of 30,000 Cs.

BREACHING SECTION

A breaching section is approved between RD: 15-16 RMB. The critical level for the operation for this breaching

section is 478.00. A gauge has been fixed at RD: 10+000 L.B.B for this purpose. It has been estimated that a

discharge of about 45,000 Cs will pass through breaching section if operated. This breaching section was

operated during 1973, 1976 and 1988 to pass the excessive discharge. Location plan of breaching section is

enclosed. Whereas flood stages of river Ravi at various Barrages and time lag statement is also attached.

CHAPTER – III

BRIEF HISTORY OF PST FLOOD EVENTS

The highest flood passed on 2-10-1988 in the history of Sidhnai Barrage at River Ravi. The total discharge U/S

Barrage was 330.210 Cs out of which 255,012 Cs was passed through weir of Barrage, 45,000 Cs through the

Breaching Section and 21,968 Cs was passed through the spill channel. The H F level U/S of the Barrage was

478.20 at that time which was recorded at the principal gauge U/S Barrage. The H F level D/S gauge was

470.00. However, despite passing 255,012 Cs against 150.00 Cs design capacity, the structure of the Barrage

remained safe. However, the downstream structure wing wall was raised by to 4.00 ft after that highest flood for

providing safe freeboard.

After the exceptionally high flood of 1988, very high floods passed through the barrage in 1995 and 1996

having discharge of 212,340 Cs and 195,362 Cs, respectively. During these floods the J-Head spur at RD:

38+000 LMB was under the direct hit, which was saved through hectic flood fighting.

Breaching section was operated during the year 1973, 1976, and 1988.

R.M.B was breached during the year 1988 at RD: 44-45.

CHAPTER-V

FLOOD FIGHTING STRATEGY AT DIFFERENT FLOOD LIMITS

1. Low Flood Limit When River Ravi at Sidhnai Barrage reaches above 30,000 Cs it is in low flood. At this stage flood

water remains within the lips of the River. It does not touch any flood embankment. However one no.

Beldar per mile per shift of 12 hours is engaged on LMB and RMB and other X-spurs for upkeep of these bunds

2. MEDIUM FLOOD Beyond 45,000 Cs and upto 60,000 Cs River is in medium flood. At this stage water starts touching the

flood embankment. Strength of the Beldars is doubled to meet with any emergency. An additional sub engineer

is deputed on LMB and RMB to assist the sub engineer LMB and RMB sections. Flood material is placed on

various huts along RMB and LMB and night watching by the sub division officer, development division no. 1

and Executive Engineer, Development Division No. 1 Sidhnai is carried out.

6

3. HIGH FLOOD

When discharge U/S increases from 60,000 Cs, the flood water is accumulated along RMB and LMB.

Additional Sub Divisional Officer is deputed to assist Sub Divisional Officer, Development Sub Division No. 1,

Sidhnai for day and night watching. Beldars work in 3-shifts each of 8-hours. Additional Sub Engineer from

Development Sub Division No.II work on LMB and RMB. Special night watching is carried out on J-Head

spurs RD: 20+800, 38+000 LMB and 99+500 RMB. Executive Engineer, Khanewal Division LBDC. Khanewal

is also deputed at this stage to help and assist Executive Engineer, Development Division No. 1 Sidhnai

4. VERY HIGH FLOOD

When discharge increases beyond 90,000 Cs, special day and night watching is carried out and all the

officers move round the clock. Special attention is given for the protection of main Barrage, structure and

gauges are observed after every one hour. The staff present on breaching section at RD: 16 RMB is highly

alerted and keeping in view the rising condition of River Ravi D/S Balloki, presence of explosive in the liners is

ensured.

5. EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH FLOOD

At this stage River Ravi is in rising condition and flows with more than 120,000 Cs whereas the design

capacity of the Barrage is 150,000 Cs. All the staff is alerted. Superintending Engineer, Development Circle,

Multan Zone, Sahiwal resides at the Barrage and principal gauge at RD: 10+000 LMB is continuously watched.

As soon as the principal gauge reaches at the level of 478.00 ft, and is further rising operation of the breaching

section is carried out by the Pak Army, 176 Bridge Battalion, Abdul Hakim Cantt and all the people / local

inhabitants are informed well before time to vacate their dwellings. The spill channel is operated before

operating the breaching section, if river is likely to fall when the principal gauge is going to touch the limit of

478.00.

CHAPTER-VI

FLOOD DAMAGE RESTORATION WORKS AND OTHER

REPAIR WORKS CARRIED OUT

J-Head spur RD: 20 + 800 of left marginal bund besides battery of other river training works serve the purpose

of protection for the surrounding villages of Tehsil Mian Channu of District Khanewal.

As a result of protective measures taken during 2006 for the safety of J-Head spur RD: 20+800, there has been

no damage upon this structure during the year 2007. However some action had been observed upon nose portion

of J-Head spur RD: 38+000 due to which the apron had launched at this place. It has been proposed to construct

cunnettee along with Ganda bund during current financial year so that the existing river loop may be checked to

avoid further damage to this structure.

STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURE (SOP) FOR BREACHING SECTION

a. History of the breaching section. In order to protect the Barrage and its auxiliary works from onslaught of the

floods the proper site for breaching section has been fixed by the department at RD: XX of right Marginal Bund

of Sidhnai Barrage, after its approval by the Punjab Flood Commission during its 56” meeting held on 17 June

1974. A critical gauge has been provided at RD: XX Left Marginal Bund to watch the thrust of the flood. On

achieving the flood level as 478.00 at this critical gauge and while the river is still in raising position, the

breaching section at RD: XX Right Marginal Bund is activated. However before activation of the breaching

section, the spill channel provided at RD: XX Right Marginal Bund is operated to give maximum relief to the

Barrage against the thrust of floods. The water flowing through the breaching section and the spill channel

ultimately enters into the old course of the river and after traveling a distance of about 20 miles it joints the river

as experienced in the past. The existing arrangement regarding breaching section for the safety of the Barrage

and infrastructures, in case of activation of the breaching section has proved to be adequate and successful and

thus needs no re-identification of the site.

b. LOCATION , DESIGN, QUANTITY AND VARIETY OF THE EXPLOSIVE REQUIRED FOR

DENTONATION The breaching section is located at RD: XX of Right Marginal Bund U/S Sidhnai Barrage. There are two

segments of the section each contains XX nos liners. Two types of explosives can be used in the liners, one is

powder explosive and other is liquid explosive.

For detonation, both types of explosives are lying in the Army magazine XX Battalion.

c. ARRANGEMENT OF EXPLOSIVE AND SECURITY OF EXPLOSIVE STORES

The explosives are in the custody of the Army XX Battalion. Therefore, the Army Unit XX Battalion, is

responsible for availability, arrangement and security of the explosive stores.

d. LIST OF THE SECURITY STAFF WITH DETAIL OF THEIR TRAINING ETC

Although maintenance of entire explosive and its detonation, when required, is the responsibility of the XX

Battalion but the Executive Engineer, Development Division No. 1 and Sub Engineer Head works has been

trained by the Army for the detonation of the breaching section.

e. DETAIL OF MEACHNAICAL MEANS AS A STAND BY ARRANGEMENTS IN CASE OF

DETONATION FAILURE

Although there is no regular sand by arrangement of mechanical means available with the department for

operation of the breaching section in case of detonation failure but the requisite arrangement is planned to be

made, when required, with the coordination of local Military authority, Agriculture Engineering and Highway

Departments.

It is proposed to keep two no. agriculture dozers available at site at very high flood level. One no dozer will be

used for closing any leakage and the other for developing the cut at breaching site on RMB-Head spill channel.

Sub Divisional Officer, Department Sub Division No. 1, Sidhnai will ensure availability of the machinery and

its being in perfect order.

f. DUTY ROSTER IN CASE OF CRITICAL SITUATION Sub Divisional Officer, Development Sub Division No. II Shorkot Cantt, Sub Engineer, Spill section and other

establishment present at head spill to watch and control the situation for operating the breaching section. The

executive engineer, development division no. 1 Sidhnai will supervise the situation and remain vigilant about

the critical gauge, provided at RD: 10+000 of Left Marginal Bund. As soon the gauge hits the critical level i.e

478.00 and the river is still in rising condition, the requirement of operating the breaching section be established

16

the rising/falling condition of the river in the forthcoming hours is assessed by receiving 3-hourly gauges from

Balloki.

As soon as the flood at Balloki reaches at a very high stage and it is still in rising position, flood situation is

brought to the notice of Civil Administration and Army authorities so as to inform the public and arrange their

evacuation. The operation of the breaching section will be intimated to Army authorities by the executive

engineer, Sidhnai Barrage Division at least 12 hours in advance as desired by the commanding engineer, XX for

making arrangement to shift their explosive to the breaching site.

Similarly, the Civil Administration is also informed about the operation of breaching section at least 12-hours in

advance.
