8.FPC2 Hemavathi to Kaveri 900.

CE is not ideal at this juncture. We need to think of alternates like U tube or aqua duct or CE proximal to the dam across Yagachi and Hemavathi are better.

[215.01]

Total length of the CE, RE, DCC, BD put together in Kms

[11.89]

The Length (Actual) of the probable FPC2 in Kms.

[1016.62]

The capacity (Volume) of storable water (with the canal width of 200 mts, depth of 25 mts, but the maximum level maintained will be 20 mts) in the FPC2 (4066.48 million cubic meters) in TMC.

150.13 TMC.

FPC2 cannot be filled and discharged any number of times, unlike FPC1 and FPC4, as FPC2 is not having the ‘ever flowing rivers as its feeder’. Still, it can provide sufficient water to the Bangalore platue in the land which lays between ‘900 to 500mts AMSL’, because,

All the water, which is generated from the river Cauvery and the its tributaries will be providing water only to the limited area of land between 900 to 500 mts AMSL, and the area which is below 500mts AMSL need not get the water from the river Cauvery and its tributaries as they will be irrigated by FPC1.

The water which is going to be absorbed by the ground / percolating in to the ground / the water which shifts underground as subsurface flow will decrease as the underground water will be saturated with water of the FPC1, thus the on surface availability of the water from the river Cauvery and its tributaries will become more and it will be available for irrigation even in summer.

18.3: FPC2 – RE, CE, DCC, BD and others:FPC2 – RE, CE, DCC, BD and others are as follows:
