Modelling Effect of Jatropha on Water Resources of Chhattisgarh
1. Introduction
Chhattisgarh state is covered by 4 major water-systems of India: Ganga, Mahanadi,
Narmada and Godawari. Mahanadi & Godawari are the major system covering 85% of the
total basin area. Important rivers include Mahanadi, Indrawati, Sheonath, Rinand, Hasdeo,
Mand, Ibb, Pairi, Sabari, Jonk and Arpa. The major source of livelihood is agriculture.
Estimated utilizable surface Water: 41,720 MCM; and Ground Water: 11,960 MCM.
Potential irrigable area: 4.30 m ha. In spite of fairly good rainfall, Chhattisgarh has been
experiencing frequent drought.
(source:www.indiawaterportal.org/data/datastats/ch/WaterRes_SOE_Chhatisgarh.doc)
The north and south parts of the state are hilly, while the central part is a fertile plain.
Forests cover roughly forty-four percent of the state. Major crops are Paddy, Jowar, Maize
and Wheat. The State has launched an ambitious plan to become biofuel self-sufficient by
2015 by planting 160 million Jatropha saplings in all its 16 districts.
The Rihand River, a tributary of the Ganges, drains the northern part of the state which
forms part of the Indo-Gangetic plain. The central part of the state lies in the fertile upper
basin of the Mahanadi and its tributaries, with extensive rice cultivation. The Satpura range
and the Chota Nagpur Plateau divide the Mahanadi River basin from the Indo-Gangetic
plain. The southern part of the state lies on the Deccan plateau, in the watershed of the
Godavari River and its tributary the Indravati River.
2. Second Quarter Work
In the first quarter, data needed for the modelling was identified and a first cut delineation
of Mahanadi was carried out (Report 1_IITD). A mid–course correction is being made in
view of the fact that the coverage of intended Jatropha plantation is state-wide Therefore it
has been decided to cover the entire state, thereby extending the DEM to cover the smaller
streams of Ganga in north and Godavari in south also. The following paragraphs give an
overview of the watersheds of Chhattisgarh belonging to the three major systems of
Ganga, Mahanadi and Godavari. Figure 1 shows the proportion of each of these three
basins falling in Chhattisgarh state.

3. Mahanadi System
Mahanadi basin is the major river basin and drains about 55 % of the state. DEM from the
SRTM is used for the Mahanadi basin falling in Chhattisgarh and the same is shown in
Figure 2. Mean elevation of the basin is around 372 m.

Basin Demarcation – Mahanadi Basin
Automatic delineation of watersheds is done by using the DEM as input. The target
outflow point is interactively selected. The Mahanadi river basin has been delineated with
a threshold of 100,000 ha. Resulting basin area is 8696684 ha. The delineated basin along
with drainage network is shown in Figure 3.

threshold. These sub-basins along with the drainage network are shown in Figure 4.

land use categories and the area covered under each category of land use for the Mahanadi
river basin.
