GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF
PROJECT ESTIMATES FOR
RIVER VALLEY PROJECTS
( SECOND REVISED EDiTlON )
 F O R E W O R D TO THE SECOND REVISED EDITION

The cost estimate of a project is an important

document and forms the basis for its economic appraisal,
techno-economic acceptance by the Technical Advisory
Committee and last but not the least investment clearance
of the Government.
Cost estimates of the projects are drawn up on the
basls of prices prevailing at the time of preparation of
the project reports while the projects yet executed over a
perlod of time as per funds made available based upon
envisaged implementation schedule to the extent- possible.
The project report/cost at the time of appraisal is based
upon the datalinformation collected by carrying out
minimum/adequate investigations necessary for preparation
of the project report. The actual layout/designs do get
subjected to change as per actual site conditions at the
time of execution of individual components of the project.
The above factors also become instrumental in increasing
the cost of projects besides other factors such as price
rise, inadequate or lumpsum provisions in the initial
estimate, public resistance at the time of . land
acquisition and compensation etc. The rise in project
cost is inevitable particularly in projects which have a
long gestation period.
Water Planning and Project Wing of C.W.C. has
brought out the second revised edition of "Guidelines for
Preparation of Project Estimates for River Valley
Projects(l997)". An effort has also been made to make the
guidelines more comprehensive by incorporating a Chapter
on "Preparation of Cost Estimates for Private Sector Power
Projects1', as private sector participation is likely to
increase in the near future.
The C.W.C. would welcome all suggestions for
improvement of the edition.

C.W.C. Guidelines for preparation of the project

estimates for major irrigation and multipurpose projects
were issued in July 1976 and revised for the first time in
July, 1983. These are being followed by the State
Governmentslother concerned agencies for formulation of
river valley project estimates. Since these guidelines
were prepared more than 10 years back, it was felt that
the same need to be reviewed and modified in view of the .
various changes that have taken place in the methodology
of project formulation, funding and execution.
Whereas the quantities of various items of work in
headworks, power house, major canal structures and so on
canbe fairly estimated on the basis of field
investigations, surveys & designs, there is considerable
scope for improvement in arriving at unit rates of items
of work which would require a fairly accurate
visualisation and analysis of the sequence of operations
involved and cost of material labour and machine hour
rates. Typical illustrations have been incorporated to
help analyse the rates of items of works involving plant
and machinery to arrive at a realistic estimate.
A chapter on cost estimates of Private sector Power
Projects has been added to help frame the estimate on a
uniform basis as private sector participation particularly
in power projects is likely to increase in the near
future.
Separate provision under sub-head W-Drainage has been
dispensed with and provision of drainage in command area
has been placed under the sub-head X-Environment and
Ecology as the same is intrinsic to environmental and
ecological protection/safeguards. These are presently
examined in the Ministry of Environment and rest as a
whole including command area drainage. This will help in
better appreciation of environmental repercussions due to
the water resources projects.
The publication has been rightly titled " ~ u i d e l i n e s
for preparation of project estimates for River Valley
Projects" considering its wide applicability in all
Irrigation, Flood Control and Hydro-electric projects etc.
 The present edition is the result of deliberations-
the Review Committee headed by Shri S.C.Chitkara, ha
Engineer(PA0) as Chairman and four Directors, two each
from Central Water Commission and Central Electricity
Authority, who deserve appreciation for their efforts
hard work in bringing out this edition,
Any comments or suggestions on the contents of these
guidel~nesfor improvement will be welcome.

 PREFACE TO THE FIRST REVISED EDITION

CWC broad guidelines for preparation of the project

estimate for Major Irrigation and Multipurpose Projects
w e r e first issued in July 1976. The response of the State
Governments to the adoption of these guidelines has been
very encouraging. Since the printed copies of the
guidelines have been exhausted, and since the demand from
various quarters still persist, the CWC has decided to
bring out a new edition. No doubt considerable experience
has been gained in the formulation of project estimates
still certain deficiencies are observed in the estimates.
The deficiencies noticed are broadly of the following
types: -
1. The estimates generally lack detailed rate analysis
based. on the prevailing wages of labour, prices of
construction materials, fuel and machinery, the output of
labour & machine relevant to the job.
2. Adequate investigation for the distribution system is
found wanting.
3. The estimates in respect of canal structures,
distributaries and minors, water courses and drainage are
not based on typical estimates of representative
structures/areas.
4. Provision for land acquisition & rehabilitation
measures are generally inadequate. The land rates adopted
are old, land classification done arbitrarily and
compensation for properties provided was lumpsum and
provision is not supported by certificates from the
revenue authority.
5. Provision are made on lumpsum basis even for items
for which the cost can be worked out by proper analysis.
6. There is a tendency to underestimate the costs in the
first instance, These are attributed to the following:-
fa) The designs are not done in details and therefore
quantities are not correct and do not include all the
items in the schedule of quantities.
(b) The construction-programme is not realistic. Less
period is take into account for conpletion for charging
overheads and establishment charges.
7. Adequate provision is not kept for water courses and
field channels.
8. The cost of instrumentation is generally not inc=
in the estimates of dams.
9. The provision for soil conservation is generallypi
included in the estimates.
~ l the
l above factors lead to under estimation o f t
cost.

With the experience gained in the use of t k

guidelines and scrutiny of project estimates in CWC durn
the past five years the contents of this book have EC
reviewed and revised and additional material includc
wherever necessary. opportunity has also been taken
bring the instructions contained in various paras u p t p m
based on tbe latest circulars issued by the Plannin
Commission, Ministry of Irrigation
recommendations made in the Working Group as Report mi
preparation of detailed project reports, on Irrigation n
Multipurpose projects (1980).
The Standards laid down for the preparation
estimates in these guidelines should be 'followed careful11
a
so that delays which occur in obtaining the missj c
esssential informations and in processing of the e s t i m a d
is avoided.
Any comments or suggestions on the contents of t h m
guidelines by way of improving its utility will c
welcome.
The present edition is the result of efforts and h a m
work put in by Shri K.C.Kathuria, Director, Rates a m
Costs and his staff inspite of their busy schedule of
work.

 FOREWORD

Since independence a large number of irrigation and

multipurpose projects have been taken up for construction.
While the benefits accruing from these projects have been
immense, the mounting costs, and the frequent revision of
the project estimates have been causing great concern to
the Government. In addition, delays in sanctioning the
estimates at various levels and consequent delays in
completion of the projects and accrual of benefits from
them have also been a matter of concern to engineers and
planners alike.
The project is cleared for execution only when the
criteria laid down for evaluating the benefits vis-a-vis
costs are satisfied. The estimates contained in the
project report form the basis of the project appraisal and
the reliability of these estimates determines the value of
said appraisal. It is, therefore, evident that
formulation of reliable estimates is of paramount
importance.
There is a general expectation that the estimated
cost of works concerning irrigation and multipurpose
projects should be as good as those of buildings and roads
for other public works. The fact, generally, lost sight
of, is that river valley projects are much more complex
and their estimates embrace a very wide variety of items
ranging from surveys and common items of brick masonry,
concrete etc. to complex items of tunnelling etc. For
the convenience of engineers entrusted with the framing of
the estimates of irrigation h multipurpose projects, broad
guidelines for preparation of such estimates are presented
herewith. As adequate investigations play an important
role in correct estimating the guidelines issued earlier
by the Central Water Commission for investigations of
najor irrigation and hydroelectric projects hzve also been
included in this publication for ready reference.
The Central Water commission would appreciate any
suggestions for improvement of this publication.

C.W.C. Guidelines for preparation of the project

estimates for Major Irrigation and Multipurpose Projects,
issued in July, 1976, were first revised in July,1983.
The second revision of the above guidelines was felt
necessary in view of the various changes that took place
in project formulation, funding and execution during the
period between 1983 to 1995.
With the experience gained in the use of these
guidelines and scrutiny of project estimates in C.W.C.
for the last twenty years, the contents of the guidelines
have been reviewed and revised and additional material
included wherever necessary. Opportunity has also been
availed to bring the instructions contained in various
paras upto date, based on the latest circulars issued by
planning Commission, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry
of Labour, Ministry of Welfare etc. The Committee also
felt it necessary to have the valued views of the State
~rrigation Departmentsfstate Electricity Boards. and
several other Organisations such as National Hydro Power
Corporation, Bihar State H.E. Power Corporation,
Karnataka Power Corporation Ltd,, North Eastern Electric
Power Corporation etc. Accordingly a questionaire was
prepared and sent to them on (i) problems if any, being
faced by them in preparing estimates of river valley
projects in accordance with the existing Guidelines of
C . . . ; Need to revise percentage provisions in
different sub-heads in the guidelines and askinq for
relevent data on completed/partially completed pro-jects;
fiiij methods to accelerate the process of revising
project estimates etc. The suggestions received from them
were considered/incorporated while reviewing the
guidelines.
One of the important aspects is to update the
percentage provisions for various sub heads given in the
earlier guidelines which has now been done by analysing
the data on actual costs incurred on Some of the recently
completed/partially completed Irrigation/H.E.Projects.
The present edition of the guidelines have been made more
comprehensive by including references such as typical
hourly use rate of some of the commonly used equipments
and machineries, analysis of rates for some important
items of works. The other important aspect kept in view
is that extracts of the relevant paras, tables etc. have
been included alongwith reference to relevant text books,
1.S.codes or manual to facilitate the users to have them
readily available in the pressent guidelines. Separate
Chapter for Power Projects with private sector
i n v e ~ t m e n t / ~ a r t i c i ~ a t i ohas
n also been included. A para
on preparation of completion report has also been il-ICl i l d e d
in the guidelines so that the comparison of ~,..tial
project cost vis-a-vis the actual cost of construction,
sub-headwise, would be made available in the project
estimate itself to serve as a vital ~nformation in future
to have a check in variation of cost for new projects.
The suggestions of different specialised Directorates of
C.W.C. have also been incorporated in the guidelines ,for
sub-heads like C-Works, Q-Special T & P , X-Environment &
Ecology and Instrumentation.
While analysing the items of unit rates of 'works, a
component of indirect cost of labour on account of
amenities to labour such as paid holidays, different kind
of leave, accommodation, medical and canteen facilities
and workmen compensations, retrenchment compensation etc.
are required to be included as per the statutory
provisions. The component due to these social factors has
been categorised into two parts as applicable for skilled
and semi-skilled/un-skilled Labourers. These factors
shall be carefully adopted for arriving at the unit rates
of relevant items.
The present edition is the result of the
deliberations of the Review Committee set up in Nov.1994
by the then Member ( D & R ) , Central Water Commission, to
review the guidelines and the Committee comprised of the
following Officers of CWC & CEA.

 1.0 EXAMINATION OF PROJECT ESTIMATES IN C . W . C .
Under the procedure laid down by the Planning
mission all major irriqation & multipurpose project
..ports including cost estlmates received from the State
~~vts./UnionTerritories have to be examined in detail by
cwc and put up to the Advisory Committee of the Ministry
of Water Resources for acceptance. After these schemes
are accepted by the Advisory Committtee, the investment
clearance is issued by the Planning Commission.
Thereafter, during implementation of the projects,if the
cost exceeds 15% of the original approved cost
.~cluding escalation due to price rise or dhere there is
change in scope i.e. change in project parameters
resulting in changes in nature and benefits such as CCA,
installed capacity, energy generation etc., then a revised
estimate for the project has to be submitted by the State
6 the estimate examined afresh for necessary clearance by
cwc/Advisory Committee etc.
Feasibility estimates generally known as project
estimates provide the basis for authorisation of the
project for construction and for the appropriation of
construction funds. These estimates should be in enough
detail to show the quantity, unit cost and total costs of
various works and supply items.
~ngineering surveys, geological explorations and
similar works accomplished during the feasibility
investigations are usually carried out to the extent
needed to enable at least, a tentative layout to be
prepared for the purpose of sound cost estimate and to
prove the feasibility of the project. CWC has laid down
quidelines for the mlnimum investiqations to be done for
formulation and submission of Irrisation and H.E.~roiects.
It is necessary that these suidelines are followed and the
prescribed investiqations are done to arrive at realistic
estimates.
In the feasibility estimates, cost of major items
is best worked out in detail on the basis of preliminary
layouts and designs and unit rates which should be
analysed for the project in question. Smaller items may
be computed from cost graphs and parametric rates.
2.0 . NATURE Of? PROJECT COSTS

2.1 The capital cost of a project includes all costs

associated with investigations, design, construction and
maintenance during construction period of the project.
2.2 Investigation costs include cost of collection of
necessary physical, hydrological, geoloqical,
topographical and structural data to give the engineers
the basis for design and estimation.
2.3 Design costs include the cost of all necessary
analysis of data and studies(geologica1, structural and
economic) to support the layout and dimensions of
structures, the layout of construction plant and
facilities, the specification of materials and the method
of construction.
2.4 Construction costs are the costs of bringing the
project into being. These costs should include all the
wo,rk and supply items required for the supervision and the
construction of permanent project along with engineering
supervision and administrative services and costs of all
service facilities which are used for the construction
activities such as colonies, roads, water supply and
sanitary systems, camps etc.
2.5 CONTINGENCIES & WORK CHARGED ESTABLISHMENT
__E
Contingencies are percentage allowances shown as a
separate item to cover mlnor differences in actual and
estimated quantities, omission of minor items of works,
difficulties unforeseeable at site, possible minor changes
in plans and other uncertainties. In no case should
contingencies be allowed for by increasing estimated
quantities or unit prices. The percentage to be used is
based on consideration of major pay items in the estimate,
availability of data, adequacy of the quantity
computations and the general knowledge of the conditons at
the site.
The cost of labour employed on work relates only
to that form of labour which does the physical work. Such
work may be done by skilled labourers, carpenters, masons,
Operators and others.
Work charged establishment comprises of
supervisory staff and foremen who do not work with their
OW" hands but exercise immediate control over the quality
and output of workers.
 provision for contingencies and W.C.
~ ~ t ~ b l i s h r n e nis
t generally considered up to 3 % and 2
respectively of the works' cost and provided in th:
-
detailed works estimates prepared on the basis of item
rates & quantities of works to be executed. These
ercentaqe provisions should not be considered on lumpsum
Ptems NO allowance should be made forconfinqencies in
contract estimates as these estimates are prepared from
final design studies and represent the estimated cost of a
contract based on detailed computations of
quantities and detailed analysis of unit costs.

2.6 Except for reconnaissance estimates, the

quantities for major items should be computed from actual
layouts or preliminary/feasibility drawings. In preparing
estimates allowance must be made for wasted and
unsuitable materials, for shrinkage of excavation in
compacted fills and for over breaks in tunnel excavation,
tunnel lining and back fill etc. The allowance
should be conservative and reasonable.
2.7 One of the most difficult tasks in connection with
the preparation of cost estimates is the determination of
the unit costs of labour, materials and equipment
necessary to perform the work designated in the various
pay items for the proposed construction. A current unit
cost should be used in all estimates except in those cases
where actual contract bid prices are available. Unit cost
may be based on local schedule of rates for items covered
by the schedule and for others, analysis of rates may be
prepared as per para 3.0. In the case of any doubt on the
viability of rates a certificate'of the State / Project
Ch.ief ~ngineer on the reasonability of rates shall be
taken as final and acceptable. The unit cost should not
be increased to cover contingencies.
2.8 The same considerations are required in estimating
unit costs for all construction to be performed either by
Government Department or by the contractors except that
contractor's overheads, profit, insuransce, and taxes are
subplanted by Government supervision of construction,
Govt. insurance and allowances for annual and sick leave
etq.
2.9 In estimating unit rates enough field data should
be collected on the duration of the working season,
climatic conditions, danger from flood and other hazdrds,
topographic conditions, geology of site, records of
foundation explorations, nature and location of aggregate
deposits and sources of other construction materials, kind
of terrain over 'which material must be hauled, labour
market, housing accommodation and problems of public
relation.
 3.0
ANALYSIS OF UNIT RATES.

3.1 GENERAL C R I T E R I A FOR ANALYSIS OF RATES.

1 . 1 preparation of project estimates for any river
project requires calculation of the quantities of
various items involved, workin9 out their analysis of
and computation-of their cost. While the quantities
depend upon the layout and type of work to be executed,
the cost would depend upon the unit rate of items of works
involved In the construction of the project. The analysis
of rates for various items is worked out taking into
consideration the cost of materials, carriage -
handling -
st~rinq, labour and share of machines involved in
,x,cutlng various items of the work and overhead charges.
3.1.2 As the project cost estimates are made before the
work is done, the estimated cost is only an indication of
m e order of the actual cost. The agreement between the
estimated and actual cost would depend substantially upon
the accuracy with which this analysis is done, whlch
, implies the use of precise estimating methods and correct
visualisation of the manner in which the work would be
executed and the sequence of operation. A complete
analysis of rate, therefore, requires the determination of
costs for various operations developing the .cost .from
basic rates of labour, material and machines for the
operation.
3.2 MATERIAL COST:
The quantitative assessment of material
requirement may be adopted from authoritative
books/publications or through independent calculations
based on the data available at site or other projects.
The unit cost of various materials may be taken as those
prevalent in the States/region. The appropriate cost for
freight, unloading, cartage, storage, inspection and
testrng should also be included.
Over and above the theoretical quantities of
aaterials computed by existing norms and practices there
should be adequate provision for wastage allowance and
incidentals to the work in the analysis of rates on all
accounts including handling, short weight, losss in
storage etc. This allowance of wastase and incidental to
works may be taken upto 5% of quantities in case of cement
when handled in bass and 2% when handled in bulk. while
for steel this provision mav be made upto 2 1/2% only as
there will be some salvage value of the steel scrap.
 LABOUR COST:

The time which a labourer takes in performing a

unit of work would vary with personal factors such as
climatic conditions, job supervision and complexities of
operation etc. The assessment of output of labour may be
made as per the relevant IS Code or the norms prevalent in
the State/Regions/River Valley Project of similar nature.
The wages of workers are periodically revised by
the State under the statutory labour laws. Daily wage
ratesttherefore,should be taken as those prevalent in the
States at the time of formulation of the project.
Apart from the basic wage of a worker there are
other liabilities accruing due to benefits and amenities
which are given to workers on river valley projects.
These benefits and amenities may be on account of the
following factors:
i) Hill compensatory allowance.
ii) Hazard allowance.
iii) Travelling allowance.
iv) Medical expenses or benefits. (first aid)
v) Workman compensation.
vi) Free accommodation,water supply and power.
vii) Canteen facilities.
viii) Employee's Provident Fund.
ix) Other amenities like free dresses, gumboots,
helmets and woollens.
Besides the above; work in the River valley
Projects cannot continue throughout the year as it may
have to be stopped during the flood season. In some
Projects casual worker system is not accepted and
continuity of service is given to many workers dependi'ng
uponthe situation at the project and prevailing
Practices. The effect of this has also to be considered
in the wage rates.
 The judicious provision of the above indirect cost
of labour has, therefore, to be made over and above the
basic wage rate of the labour for each individual project
depending on the statutory provisions applicable and
practices prevalent for benefits and amentics of Workers
,,the ~roject- This labour welfare or indirect cost of
labour may be taken as 55% and 80% of the direct cost for
semiskilled /unskilled and skilled labour respectively as
per the break-up given in Annexure-2.
3*4 PLANT COST

For working out the use rates of machinery, the

norms for life, depreciation, repair provision etc. may
be adopted as recommended by the CWC Guide Book on use
.ate,Hire charges and transfer value of Equipment and
spare part~~Dec.1988. Extracts from the guide book giving
the norms of life & repair provision of major equipments
alongwith typical proformae for calcula.ting the use rate
of some of the important equipments are given as Annexure
prices of various equipment should be taken on the
m s i s of recent potationsfprice list of such equipment or
information available in CMC Directorate of CWC, all
taxes and freight charqes should be taken into
consideration while arrivlng at the cost of equipment at
site.
3.5 CONTRACTOR'S OVERHEADS AND PROFITl
The contractor's overhead costs include (i) Office,
expenses(ii) share of head office expenses (iii) Legal
charges (iv) General Establishment, Watch and Ward (v)
Local conveyance (vi) Travelling expenses (vii) Soclal
welfare (vili) Salarres of Managerial and clerical staff
etc. (ix) Publ-icityetc.
In addition to the overhead expenses, the
contractor has to be allowed certain amount towards his
profits. This is usually expressed as a percentage of the
total estimated cost of the job. This percentagde varies
from job to job but usually a 15% profit is anticipated by
the contractors. On large jobs a lesser percentage of
profit may be adequate.
Since it is difficult to identify overheads and
profits precisely, both these toqether may be provided a't
20% of the prime cost/or as per State Govt. norms in the
analysis of rates.
 In the case of departmental works it is expected
that additional departmental charges would also be about
20%.
It has not been found practicable due t o wide
variety of works performed in River Valley Projects t o
present analysis of rate for all items of work. Analysis
of rates of so:re of the qeneral items universally
applicable in river-valley projects are given in annexure
6.
 4.0 INFORMATION TO BE GIVEN IN THE REPORT OF T m

6.0 DETAILED ESTIMATES OF COSTS:

Thc various items under minor and detailed s u b

heads for which estimates should be prepared are indicated
i n paras 6.1 to 6.21. Explanatory note regarding t.he
basis of provisions should be given for each item.

6.1 A-PRELIMINARY:
The important items t o be considered are:
a ) Expenditure incurred on previous investigations.
b) ~ e t a i l e d surveys for final location
c ) Aerial S u r V e y , C ~ n t O U r survey for reservoir
basin (including establishment of permanent
bench marks).
d ) ~ e o l o g i c a l surveys and geophysical surveys.
e) Hydrological and Meteorological surveys including
establishment of rain gauges/ and river gauge and

iv) Taking tria.1 pits or trenches and trial bores for
foundation investigation of structures.
v) Taking auger holes for soil survey of command area.
vi) Field tests for soil classification.

6.1.1 The amounts required against each of the above

items will vary from project to project, and no general
yardsticks can be laid down. It has, however, been the
experience that the overall provision under
'A-preliminarv' in a ~ r o i e c testimate should be limited to
1 to 2% of the total cost of I-Works.

This sub head covers the following -items:

a) Acquisition of land (Private and Government) for
works and that coming under submergence;
b) Compensation for other properties like houses,
wells, trees etc;
c) Compensation for standing crops;
d) Compensation for prospective mineral deposits, if
 e) Rent for use of land.
f) Interest charyrs on the amount of award for the
period between taking over possession of the land
and the date of award.
g) Solatium charges for compulsory acquisition.
h) Legal charges.
i) Relocation of communications like roads, railways,
telegraph lines etc.
j ) Staff 'for Demarcation/Measurement of Land; and
k) Establishment charges for land acquisition and
compersation.

6.2.1 The probable rate for acquisition of different

types of lands should be enquired from and got certified
by the district revenue, forest or other competant
authorities and their certificate appended with the
project estimate. Only such cost that will actually be
paid for Government land shall be included in the
estimates. However, quantities for Government land taken
on transfer shall be indicated.
The cost of wells should be based on the evaluation
of their numbers and present day costs; but the cost of
structures such as buildings, temples etc. should be
based on plinth area rates at present day cost less value
of usable materials.
The norms for crop co~npensation and interest
charges are not uniform. The provision of crop
compensation is normally made at a suitable rate per
hectare on a.percentage of cultivated land being acquired.
It is seen that this percentage generally ranges between
25% to S O % of the agricultural land being acquired.
The interest charges on compensation may also be
necessary in view of the likely time lag in taking
POssession of the land and properties and actual payment
Of compensation. For estimatinq purpose this provision
be considered on about 25% of the total compensation
for a period of about 2 years @ 12% per annum.
 olatium charges mav be provided @ 30% of the cost
ermznent acquisition of private land. Establishment
g q e s are provided @ 6.25% of the cost of totai
Fompensation.
In addition to L.A. establishment charges,
provision is also required for labour and materials for
zs rcation and measurements for land and properties.
is generally provided @ 1% of the cost of land
.cquisition. Provision for legal charges may also be
,-onsidered as requirements on this account have been on
the increase. For the purpose of estimation, this may
be considered as 1% of the total compensation,_
Following information/statements should be
furnished in the estimate for B - L a n d .
1. Level upto which land is to be acquired for
submergence and construction works.
2. statement showing villages submerged along with
total area of the villages and the area to be
acquired and a l s ~the percentage of the total area
of the village.
3. Statement of village-wise structures such as
buildings, Stables, Temples, other Religious
Buildings and wells.
4. Statement of persons displaced and their occupation
villagewise.
5. Alternative means of employment for the oustees.

6. No. of trees, girth at 3 ' above GL, fruit bearing

etc. and their usefulness.

6-2.2 ii) Rehabilitation & Rese,t.tlement:

The provision for rehabilitation would depend on
the number of persons displaced and the rehabilitation
measures proposed to be adopted which should be clearly
indicated in the project report. Rrnadly, the following
provisions need to be considered.
a) Acquisition of lands for new village sites and
allotment of plots for housing to the villagers at
suitable rates.
b) Making the acquired 'land fit for habitation and
providing facilities such as village roads, wells,
S C ~ O O buildings,
~ post offices, dispensaries,
panchyat ghars etc.
c) Providing free transport for conveyance of
dismantled materials and household articles from
old place to new sites.
d) Development of lands(inc1uding reclamation if
needed )to be allotted to agriculturist displaced
persons.
e) Cost towards implementation of Rehabilitation &
resettlement plan.
6.2.3 In 1975 a committee was appointed by the Central
Board of Irrigation and Power to consider the desirability
of fixi?g norms for acquisition of land and structures on
the projects throughout the country The relevent
extract from the recommendations of this Committee
concerning the extent of land to be acquired is given
below:
ttGenerally acquisition may be done upto FRL only-
The area between FRL & MWL may be acquired only if the
Submerged land is fertile and the duration of submergence
beyond FRL upto MWL is long enough to cause d a m a ~ e to
crops i.e. over 15 days duration, (for acquisition of
land the effect of back water need not be taken into
consideration).
All structures coming under submersion between FRL
and MWL should be acquired. If the structures coming
under submersion are of relfgious or archaeological
interest, provision must be made for re-establishing these
structures above HWLw.
 The provision for acquisition of land and
structures should be made accordingly.
provision should also be made for establishmesnt
seqrah..., towards im~lementation of R&R @ 6.25% of its
total cost.

works during the construction period.

The capital outlay on construction equipment on a

project varies frcm 10 to 30 percent 12f the total cost of
civil structure. This percentage is likely to go up with
the increase in the mechanisation of construction methods.
. It is imperative that extreme care should be exercised in
the selection of various machinery and equipment and as
far as possible accurate provision for their depreciation
and salvage value should be made.
Important items of equipment considered under this
Sub head are given in Annexure-7.
 The capital cost of the construction equipment will
depend upon type and quantity of machinery(worked out on
the basis of quantum of work contemplated to be carried
t
, by machinery). For an economically planned project,
the construction machinery should generally be so planned
t h a t it spends 7 5 percent of its life at project i.e. 7 5
percent of its cost is recovered from the works as hourly
Use rates. The provision under the sub-head ~ . ~ ~ &
~ p~ ~ i ~
therefore, should be 25 percent of the capital cost of the
oriented special T & P and 7 5 percent of this
provision should be shown under head V-Receipt and
~ ~ ~ ~ v e rtowards
i e s resale/transfer value.
For highly specialised Capital Intensive Equipment
like aerial cableways, tunnel boring machines etc. which
cannot be planned on the criteria mentioned .under para
above, the anticipated cost chargeable to the sub-head
c - ~ o ~ kshould
s be calculated and the residual value should
a &own under the sub head Q.Specia1 T&P as well as the
, ~ V-~eceipt
d and Recoveries.
. ,
For inspection and transport vehicles(other than
a o s e required for construction material transportation)
100 percent of the capital cost should be provided under
this sub-head. 20 percent of this value should be
-nsidered as resaleltransfer value of the vehicles and
shown under the head V-Receipts and Recoveries.
All the equipment required inclusive of capital
fntensive equipment should be provided on the basis of the
latest rates including their transport cost upto the
project site (insurance, taxes etc. included) and initial
requirement of funds worked out. However, the provision
for this sub-head should be worked out as under : -

In case of old machinery received on transfer, only
50 ~ercent of its transfer value shall be charged to the
works and balance 50 percent to the sub-head Q-special
~ & p . Further, 25 percent of the provision under special
~ & shall
p be shown under V-Receipts and Recoveries towards
resale and transfer value.
Similarly in case of projects where 75 percent of
scheduled life of equipment is not expected to be
during the execution of project (or in other
words less than 75 percent of the cost of equipment shall
be recovered through cost of works), the cost proportional
to their unused life shall be booked under this sub-head
and the same amount shall be shown under V-Receipt and
Recoveries. This method is to be adopted to provide for
funds for procuring the equipment. Same method shall also
be followed in case where specialised Capital Intensive
Equipment is procured by the Govt. Department(0wner of
the project) and given to the contractors on hire. It may
be mentioned here that practice of procurement of
equipment by Govt. department for hiring out to
contractors should be discouraged as far as possible,
since this practice has been found to be neither
economical nor conducive to efficient working. ThereZore,
no provision of job specific construction equipment should
be kept under the sub head Q.Sgl.T&P, when the works are
proposed to be carried out through contracting agencies.
In such cases, provision of general purpose equipment
capable of taking up emergency works such as road
clearance, earth work, hill cutting and inspection and
.transport vehicles etc, should be made under sub head
Q-Special T & P.
 For privately owned and executed projects, however,
no for production oriented and specialised
capital intensive construction equipment is to be made
under the sub-head Q-Special T&P. The cost incurred on
.,-count. of deployment of such equipment on the project
=hall be directly recovered through the cost of works
use rates. For inspection and transport vehicles
on privately owned projects, only the cost equivalent to
its life in years a s would be spent on the project should
be booked under this sub-head.

No provision should be made under this sub-head for

spares as they are directly covered under the hourly rate
&weable to items of work.

6.13 CANAL STRUCTURES:

The provision for canal structures is split up
under the following sub-heads:

F-Cross raina age Works.

It is seen that provision for canal structures is

generally made on lumpsum basis. This practice is not
~ n l yirrational but is one of the principal causes for
steep rise in the costs of revised estimates. It is
necessary that preliminary designs are made for all
important structures after proper survey and for framing
the estimates, typical structures of different capacity
Jthree or more in number)should be analvseq to work out
unit cost for each type of structrure in each sub-head as
follows. (refer illustration at Annexure- 8)
D-Regulators: Cost per unit product of discharges of
parent and offtaking canals.
E-Falls: Cost per unit product of discharge and
height of fall.
F-Cross Drainage
works : Cost per unit product of discharges of
drainage and canal.
 G-~ridges: Cost per metre span of bridge.
H-Escapes: Cost of structurec may be worked out as
mentioned above and for escape channel
procedure may be same as for canals.
Where the actual cost of similar structures
rnnstructed on other project(s) is known, the data could
with advantage be used in the estimate. rt should
however, be ensured and justified that the structures
considered are similar in nature. The differences in
leads of materials in the two structures are accounted and
escalations wherever necessary are taken into account.
The basis for premium applied as well as the reference to
the project where such costs were realised and the year of
work should be mentioned in the estimate.

Important items to be Considered are:

a) Construction of the main approach road to dam site.
b) Construction of quarry roads.
c) Construction of temporary roads in the works area.
d) Construction of temporary or permanent river
crossings.
e) Railways including sidings, bridges, connecting
roads, water-ways and air strips/helipad.
The cost for each type of road should be provides
on the basis of calcylated road lenqth and rate per km.
Major items on this account should be supported by
sub-estimates or rates certified by local State PWD.
For road bridges the provision should be made in
line with canal structures.
For railway siding and railway bridges the
Provision should be made in consultation with the Railway
Authorities.
 For provision of airstrip/helipad, civil aviation
should be consulted.
For provision of water-ways State 1nland Water
should be consulted.

6-15 S-POWER PLANT AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:

This sub-head is intended to cover the provision
required for the equipment for power p l a n t , switchyard
etc. and other items connected with the installation.
The provision to be realistic should be based on
budgetary offers or the latest market rates. The price
level stating month/year for which the rates are
should be indicated.
The estimate for S-Power Plant and electrical
should cover the following items as provided in

6.16 T-WATER SUPP1,Y WORKS:
This sub-head is intended to cover works required
for delivering water to a point beyond which the supply
system will be taken over by the pubic Health Department.
This should normally consist of water conductor system and
pucca structures on open channels. The provision for
various items of work should be made in line with that of
canal structures.
 6-17 U-DISTRIBUTARIES AND SUB-MINORS.
The cost is generally indicated on the basis of
raw per ha. of CCA. There is a very wide variation in
the rates from project to project depending upon the local
conditions. It is, therefore, necessary that for a
estimate t h e rate should be arrived at from a
detailed estimate for a typical block of command area of
the size of about 10% of CCA after detailed contour
and micro planning. The relevant drawings showing
therein the alignment of channels, location of structures,
provision of lining etc. should be enclosed with
estimate.

6 : 18 V-WATER COURSES
The provision for water courses should be made for
-ving upto 5 to 8 ha. block. The cost may be assessed
'& tfre basis of rate per hectare of CCA. The rates per
< : m e should be arrived at on the basis of a sub
ksgfinate of a representative sample area surveyed to cover
about 10 percent of the culturable command area in a
similar way as adopted for distributories and minors,

provision should be made under X-Environment &

Ecology - Para 6.20 (h).

$-ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY :
This sub head is intended to cover the provisions
for the following important i'tems concerning environment
and ecological impact due to coming of the project into
being.
a) Com~ensatory afforestation including cost of
acquisition of forestfrevenue land, payment to be made to
forest Deptt. for compensatory afforestation. Provision
m d e under M-Plantation should not be included under this
sub head.
b) Catchment area treatment: Cost of treatment of
directly draining water sheds (which is to be borne as
Part of project cost), soil conservation measures etc. as
Environment & ~cologydamagefmitigation works. However,
to avoid undue burdening of the project with general land
improvement activities, only direct draining sub-water
sheds upto 2500 ha. in extent need to be considered for
treatment at project cost. The treatment would generally
be for improving land to prevent movement of soil.
 c) Establishment of f l l ~ t l depots egc. to meet fuel
requirement of labour force to prevent indiscriminate
felling of trees.
d) Measures to salvaqefrehabilitate anv rare or
endansered species of flora and fauna found in the
affected area and relocation of archaeological monuments.
e) Control of aquatic weeds in submerged areas to
provide improved habitat for aquatic life.
f) Public health measures to control spread of water
and soil borne diseases, anti-malaria measures, studies
relating to monitoring of water qualities and effect of
pesticides, weedicides etc. on effluent water from
irrigation system.
g) Restoration of land in construction areas by
filling, grading etc. to prevent further erosion and to
provide healthy surroundings.
h) Drainase in command area, conjuctive use, ground
water monitoring etc.
i) Seismolosical measurements and disaster management
measures.
j) Provision of fish ladder if necessary( to be
considered under sub head C-Works)
Provision of the items should be made in
consultation with the concerned deptts. as under:

5. Itemi - Meteorological Deptt.
 provision for drainage should be made for
bprovement of existing drains and construction of new
drains ~arrying a discharge of 5 0 litres/sec. and above
in me command area. The other drains should form a part
th& command Area Development Programme. Provision for
drainage in the commdrld. d L e d is i~idicdtedon the basis of
per hectare of CCA. The rates per hectare should be
arrived at on the basis of sub-estimates for sample area
in line with U-Distributaries and Minors etc.taking into
account land use mapping, soil surveys and ground water
investigations. Further where apparently no drainage
-angements are considered necessary due to existing
natural ground slope conditions, a minimum provision may
kept on a suitable percentage basis.

In case of works let out on contract, the provision
for establishment including leave and pensionary charges
is generally of the order of 8 to 10 percent for
concentrated works and 10 to 12 gercent for scattered
works like canals.
For works to be executed departmental'ly the
provisions could be higher than those glven above say 3

Audit and Accounts Estt.
The provision for Audit and Account charges is'
generally made at one per cent of the cost of.1-works.
Charges for capitalisation of abatement of cost of

for such revised project estimates shall be same a s
outlined in the preceding chapters.
13.2 In respect of revised project estimates where
there 1s no chanqe in the scope and where the cost
excluding escalation due to price rise has not changed by
more than 1 5 % , the State Government need not forward a
detailed estimate for examination at Centre. For such
projects the State Government should send t o CWC an excess
note after obtaining the concurrence of the State Finance
Department giving the abstract of cost under major s u b
head indicating the excess cost over the sanctioned cost
and giving reasons thereof. The note will include the
salient feaures of the proj.ect as originally proposed and
as being executed at site. The CWC will examine such
estimates broadly and send its views to the Advisory
Committee for consideration and recommendation of the
Planning Commission.

13.5 PROJECT COEPLETION REPORT:-

Project completion report should be prepared in

accordance with IS :10336-1982, and a copy of the same be
Sent to the Project Appraisal Organisation of C.W.C.
14.0 GENERAL:
An integrated project report has to be prepared
after making investigations for ayacut development works,
such as field channels below 5 to 8 ha., land shapinq
field drainage(1ess than 5 0 litre/sec.) and ayacut roads.
The estimates for these should be separately indicated for
arranging funds from the respective departments such as
'CADA and institutional .finanacial sources. These works
are not chargeable to irrigation projects and hence no
provision may, therefore, be made for these in the
estimates for engineering works of the project.
14.2 Provision for tourist facilities and fishery
development etc. should not be made part of engineering
estimates.
14.3 Programme Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
and Critical Path Method (CPM) net work should be
attempted from the project formulation stage and the
programme so drawn should form part of the Project report.
14.4 In some project estimates, the rates are taken from
the current schedule of rates of the Irrigation
Department. Where such a procedure is adopted it should
be seen that appropriate charges for extra leads of
various materials etc. are added to the schedule rates-to
arrive at the rate to be adopted for the project.
14.5 In some project estimates, actual rates obtained on
construction works in nearby areas are adopted. Where
such a procedure is adopted it should be seen that working
conditions in the two projects are similar, the
differences in leads of materials in the two projects
should be accounted and escalations wherever necessary are
taken into account. The project from where the actual
rate is taken and the year in which such rate was realised
should be specified. . A brief description should be given
indicating how similarity of the two projects has been
established.
14.6 Estimates should be prepared on the basis of the
detailed drawings of the projecQ so as to work out correct
quantities. Lumpsum provisions should. , as far as
possible, be minimised and efforts made to assess them by
 vorking out details to the maximum extent practicable.
it is not possible to avoid making lum2sum provisions
yle cost should be based on experience obtained on works
of similar magnitude elsewhere. The name of the project
experience is drawn should be specified.

11.9.1 Gathering of instrumentation data is an important

wrt of overall programme of assessing the safety and
'pz%per functioning of the dams and other hydraulic
-:TttrucAures in river valley projects. ~nstrumentation is
&luo required for verifying the design assumptions during
the construction period and also for long term monitoring
of the structures.
 14.9.2 Planning and desiqn of instr~~mentation for any
structure requires skill and knowledge of instruments,
their construction and working. A meticulously planned
instrumentation will yield more specific and useful
instrumentation data that could be interpreted into
performance reports which provide much needed feedback t o
deslqners and maintenance engineers to assess the
status/health of the structure and for planning timely
remedial measures where required.
14.9.3 The cost of instrumentation is made up o f
instruments including junction boxes, cables, data
acquisition system, readout sets, personal computers and
their installation, reading and interpretation. It 1s
therefore essential that a realistic estimate for
instrumentation is implemented in right earnest and is not
allowed to suffer due to paucity of funds or insufficient
provisions in the estimate. State Dam Safety
orqanisations can provide the necessary budgetary
estimates for instrumentation or alternatively the
budgetary rates for various instruments. List of typical
instruments used in Dams, Power Houses and tunnels i s
enclosed in annex-10. Siesmograph and any other
instruments provided under X-Environment and A-preliminary
need not be included. Junction boxes, cables, data
loggers, personal computers etc. could be obtained from
the agencies marketing these instruments. The process of
reading of instruments a,nd interpretation of data has t o
be initiated almost immediately after these instruments
are installed and continued throughout the construction
' period. It is therefore essential that sufficient
provision exists in the estimate for trained engineers and
staff during the construction period also. An abstract o f
instruments should also be given as an Annexure.
14.9.4 . For mega hydro-electric projects and dams in
remote locations, putomation in instrumentation is
desirable. The cost of instrumentation system with
intelligent data acquisition and centralised monitoring
will be considedrably higher a s compared to projects where
the instruments are read manually at terminals provided
deploying readout sets.
14.9.5 The cost of instrumentation should preferably
be based on prevailing rates. After assessing the
o f instrumentation the cost may be worked out
fealisticai l y covering all aspects of reading and
lnterpretatlon. The overall cost may work out a maximum
1% and 3% of the cost of relevent structure for manual
eadinq and automation respectively.

 HOURLY USE RATE OF MACRINERY/EQULPMENT.
Before proceeding for analysis of rate for a unit
item by machine working, it is essential to work out the
hourlq use rate of Machine/Equipment intended to be
deployed in completion of the particular item. For
analysis of hourly use rate Nos. of machines and
equipnents have been identified for illustrative examples
from amongst the many which are normally deployed for
river valley projects. The list is only illustrative and
definitely cannot be exhaustive, however,these machines
include the latest type of equipments which are in use now
a days. For working out the hourly use rate the general
criteria as laid down in the CWC Guide Book on " U S E RATE
HIRE CHARGES AND TRANSFER VALUE OF EQUIPMENT AND S P A R E
PARTSW(Third Edition) Dec.1988 have been adopted.
The hourly use rate of the equipment comprises of
the following elements:
a) Ownership cost:
i) Depreciation.
ii) Interest .on capital investment.
bf Operational cost:
i) Repair charges.
ii) Operators & maintenance crew charges.
iii) POL and energy charges.
ivj Wiscellaneous supplies.
The various elements as mentioned above should be
evaluated as below:
a) OWNERSHIP COST:

i) Depreciation:
Depreciation of.equipment ranges from 'book value to
scrap value. Depreciation shall be calculatad based on
total hours worked with reference to life in hours and
also with reference to life in years based on years lapsed
since purchase and the actual depreciation shall be taken
as the average of depreciation based on hours and years.
 Depreciation s h l l be calculated based on straight
line method of deprecir-,1sn.
ii) Interest or. =.qital investment is an integral
part of the ownership -=t of an equipment. The interest
charges are to be rels:sd to the average annual cost of
equipment based on C e life of equipment in number of
years. The annual cst of equipment is determined as
follows:

Average annual-cx: = c ( n + 1 )
2n
Where 'c' is t k W k value and 'nb is the number
of years of life of a nzsfiine. The rate.of interest per
annum may be taken at 2 s prevalent Govt. rate.
However while c l ~ ~ l a t i nthe
g hourly use rate for
the purpose of rojecx c a s t estimation, the interest on
capital has not teen ixluded to avoid duplication as in
some cases, elaborate in the following paragraphs,
interest on the total i~vcstmentis accounted for:
1) In the a s 8 of departmental execution of a
project, cartly or wholly, interest on the
total capital investment is accounted for
vhile arriving at the annual cost of the
project.
ii) While ataxding contracts for big jobs
wherein t h e use of machinery is warranted,
interest free ~achineryadvance is sometimes
paid to t h e contractors.
iii) For projects wholly owned by private
cam anles, interest on the total investment
durfnq construction is accounted for while
arriv ng at the completed cost which in turn
form the basis for tarrif.

TIONAL COST:
i r charses;
The repair charges should be taken as percentage bf
total cost of machine as mentioned in Annexure-3.
 ii) Operators & maintenance crew charses.

Operators and maintenance crew required to handle a

particular machine/equipment, as mentioned in Annex. have
been adopted in the analysis o f hourly use rate. The crew
charges have been worked out as per actual annual cost
over the the operaclonal hours during the year. The
hourly cost of the entire crew deployed on the Dperation
o f a particular machine would thus be the sum total of the

Hourly cost o f o & M Crew. = Monthly Salary X 12

Annual operational
construction hours of
the machines.

The hourly cost o f the entire crew deployed on the

operation o f a particular machine would thus be the sun
total of the hourly cost o f each labour.

The monthly rate o f the various persons in the crex

shall be taken a s those prevalent in the States at the
time of framing the project estimates. The annual
operational hour of the machine shall be based o n the no.
of operational shifts and working season.

AS regards the indirect cost cf the labour, though

the data on actual cost is not available, however o n the
basis of statutory provisions and discussions with the
labour department and organisations undertaking such jobs,
a provision of 55% and 80% in respect of
semi-skilled/unskilled labour and skilled labour
respectively has been made. T h i s covers the cost On
accocint of amenities t o labour such a s paid holidays,
retrenchment benefits, accommodation water supply and
Power, medical expenses, workmen's compensation, canteen
facilities etc.
 iii) POL & Enerqy charges:
For estimating the fuellenergy charges following
may be adopted:
Electrically Powered Equi~ment:
In case of electrically operated equipment the encrgy
charges can be obtained by estimating energy consumed in Kilowatt
Hour per hour and multiplying by the energy rate.
Energy consumed = BHP X 746 X C X c
1000 1 2

Where C is Type factor.

1

C is duty factor.
2

Diesel Enqine Powered Equipment:

Fuel consumed per hour can be zstimated from the
following relationship,
Fuel consumption in litres per hour =0.22 x F.H.P.xC1 xC2

Where C is type factor.

C is duty iactor.

Pneumatically operated Equipment:

The cost of compressed air in Rupees per cubicmeter
per minute can first be estimated by analysinq use rate of
Air Compressor which can then be used for the equipment.
Rated capacity of equipment may be used for obtaining
energy charges.
Lubricants:
The cost of lubricants can be taken as 25 to 30% of
the cost of fuel/energy depending upon type of equipment.
iv) Miscellaneous S u ~ ~ l i e s :
The hourly miscellaneous provision may be kept at
10% of the hourly repair provision. This could be
suitably increased for machines using wire ropes, cutting
edges, etc.aad in adverse job csnditions..

Government of India,
C.G.Somiah, Planning Commission,
Secretary, Yojana Bhavan,
Tele. 3 8 2 8 4 7
New Delhi - 11000L
October 28th, 1985.

The Chief Secretaries of

Sub: Irrigation and multipurpose, flood control,

drainage,CAD, anti water logging and anti-sea
erosion projects - preparation of project
reports etc.

Sir,
In Planning Commission letter no. 16(12)/81-I&CAD
dated 27..2.1982, a list of items and references ( as
revised in 1982) was forwarded to the State Irrigation
Departments requesting that the project reports on
multipurpose, irrigation and flood control projects, sent
to the P-lanning Commission for inclusion in the Plan,
should be formulated with reference to the items and
reperences shown in that list. The list is an exhaustive
one attempting to cover various other aspects of the river
valley projects such as soil conservation, catchment areas
treatment, command area development, afforestation etc.
so as to have an integrated view of the project before it
is cleared. It is however, observed that adequate
attention is not paid and necessary action not taken t o
have proper perspective of all these anciliary aspects at
the stage of the formulation, clearance and implementaton
of the projects. The necessity of having a n integrated
apFroach in the formulation of the river valley projects
has been accepted since long. It may be recalled that the
National Commission on Agriculture in its report in
January, 1 9 8 0 had recommended simultaneous preparation of
a report on the Command Area Development and other aspects
along with the engineering aspects of the project so that
the funds for the respective anciliary programmes are
ensured from the respective development sector at the
stage of formulation of the entire plan of the State.
 2. The question of catchment area treatment as an
integral part of the river valley project was considered
by the Committee of Central secretaries recently and it
was decided to draw the attention of the State Governments
for immediate necessary action of this important aspect of
adopting a holistic approach in formulation of the river
valley project by simultaneously taking up preparation of
the project reports for catchment area treatment, soil
conservation, command area development, afforestation
etc. Agricultural production and rural development are
the ultimate goals under the Command Area Projects and
several departmental activities are sought to be
harmonised under command area development projects- which
should synchronise with the progress on engineering
head-works. Simultaneously, soil conservation and
treatment, afforestation, other anti-erosion measures,
measures for reducing siltation, maintenance of ecological
balance(vegetation, anihal life and water storage) should
also be viewed as an integrated whole at the stage of
undertaking large river vdlley projects.
3. Different Departments may be involved but
multi-disciplinary units should be created at the State
level to jointly conceive the various elements of the
project and to ensure their simultaneous formulation and
i~aplementation in a harmonised manner. The cost of the
anciliary items should be provided for by the concerned
Departments but direct damage to the environment and
ecology at the project site arising out of the irrigation
project should be set right at the cost of the main
project and the required funds for it should form part and
parcel of the project. It would therefore be preferable
to prepere a pm'ject report in three parts, namely, part
I-Main works, Part-I1 Command Area Development and
Part-I11 Catchment Treatment works. Only costs of the
direct damage mitigation works will be included in the
estimates for Part-I Main works. The multi-disciplinary
teams envisaged for the integrated river valley
development should work together and associate themselves
' at the stage of project formulation with the agencies
responsible for preparation of project feasibility
reports. In the case of inter-State basins,
representatives from the concerned basin States may be
associated while formulating the catchment treatment plan.
When project approvals have been given, it would be
necessary to ensure p-roperly orchestrated execution of not
only the works directly relating to the project but also
the ancilliary items cf work relating to catchment area
treatment, command area development and other such
identified works simultaneously. The implementation of
various components such as catchmesnt area treatment works
should be responsibility of the Departments concerned but
coordinated by a suitable agency as decided by the State
Government.

4. It has been decided that in future sanction and

clearance of projects by the Planning Commission will be
accorded only if the projecct report is composite in
nature as indicated above. For the projects which are
already in the pipeline for clearance and for which
necessary plans for catchment area treatment works,
afforestation, etc. has not been drawn up on the above
lines, the position would be reviewed on a project to
project basis by the Technical Advisory Committee of the
Planning Commission. The review is intended to ensure
that there is no delay in the clearance of the projects
despite any lacunae in composite project preparation.
The receipt of this letter may please be.acknowledged.

Yours faithfully,

The Secretary,

Sub:.Eevised E s t b t e for major pyoiects,

Sir,
A number of major projects have been approved by the
Planning Commission in the past. It is observed that the
cost of m n y of such projects as also the expenditure has
increased much beyond the original approved cost but the
revised estimates for these projects have not been
submitted to the Central Water Commission for processing*
It has now been decided, in consultation with the planning
Commission, that processing of revised estimates for such
major projects, which fulfil following conditions, will be
done in the CWC as a medium project on a proforma basis
with only abstract of cost:
(i) The expenditure and/or physical pr,ogress
lave1 of the project should be above 90%;
(ii) The project authorities should give an
undertaking that they will complete the
project at the cost indicated in the
revised estimate submitted for clearance;
(iii) TEere should be no change in scope of the
prbject; and
(iv) The project should still be viable eating
the requited B.C.Ratio criterion.
 It is accordingly requested that the proforma report
of revised estimates for such projects may be submitted to
cWC for processing for clearance. The proforma report
should include, alongwith the abstract of cost, a
comparative statement showing the headwise increase in
.
cost together with the reasons thereof.

EXTRACT FROM REVISED GUIDELINES FOR TREATMENT OF

LANDS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION OF RIVER
-
VALLEY PROJECTS(1993) PARA 4 & 5 .

4. C A T C H M E N T TO BE TREATED:

If sub-watershed in the Direct Draining Areas along

the rim of the reservoir has very high and high category
erodable areas, such areas need to be treated to reduce
direct silt inflow into the reservoir and to improve the
environment in the vicinity of the reservoir.
~eographical diversity precludes precise definition of
such wat'ersheds and standardised package for their
treatment. Such areas and their treatment will
necessarily be project specific. However, to avoid undue
burdening of the project with general land improvement
activities, only direct draining sub-watersheds upto 2500
ha. in extent need be considered.for treatment at project
cost. (Map of Lower Terna Watershed (back page) shows
typical direct draining sub-watersheds and erodable areas
therein which need to be treated)

5. NT OF DIRECT DRAINING ABEBS;

High and very high categories of erodable areas in

direct draining sub-watersheds as explained in para 4,
along the reservoir rim, should be treated as per soil
conservation norms and guidelines. already available in
Ministry of Agriculture as well as in Bureau of Indian
Standard (BIS)like IS:6748 B(Part-I) -1973 Code for
Recommended practice for Itwatershed Management Relating to
Soil Conservationw and IS:6518-1992 Code for Practice for
nControl of Sediment in Reservoirn. The treatment would
generally be for improving land to prevent movement of
soil. It would also improve its hydrogeological
behaviour. In general it would prevent degradation of
land, increase productivity and also improve ecological
balance betweep land, water and the plant and animal life
in the watershed directly draining into the reservoir.
This improvement of direct draining areas should be
carried out alongwith the construction programme of the
project.
