Consultancy Work

Department of Civil Engineering is the major architect in planning, design and estimation of filling minor irrigation tanks of Bijapur and Bagalkot District by lifting water from Alamatti, Narayanapur Reservoirs and Bhima River Flood water. Tanks Situated at different location are filled with new approach by Integrating lift and flow concept. This is unique approach and appreciated at national level.

About 42 per cent of the 3,457 minor irrigation tanks in Karnataka are dry after one month of monsoon rains and 49 per cent of the tanks have storage capacity between 30 and 50 per cent of their respective capacity. It is only in 9 per cent of the tanks that the water storage is more than 50 per cent. The project is divided into eight sub-schemes, and all of them have separate water lifting points. Once commissioned fully, the ambitious project will fill 117 minor irrigation (MI) tanks by lifting water from the Alamatti, Narayanpur reservoirs and Bhima flood water. It is expected to solve the drinking water problem of about 150 drought-prone villages besides providing sustained water to over 50,000 acres of barren land.
