pipe being laid in April 2010 - well ahead of the ten year timeframe
originally proposed and within the $688 million project budget. Official
opening of the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline took place on 15 April 2010. The
pipeline project is supplying water to 36 towns and over 7,000 rural
communities with high quality and reliable water supply.
Virginia Pipeline Scheme: This scheme in Northern Adelaide Plains,
South Australia was Completed in 1999. This waste-water reuse scheme
includes 150 km of pipeline distribution network to supply recycled water to
200 square kilometres of horticultural land. The Virginia Pipeline project
was one of the first of its type in South Australia, and consequently, a
similar scheme has been completed, south of Adelaide. This scheme
Plays a significant role in reducing pollution into marine environment by
70%. Provides opportunity to secure access to water, a particularly limited
resource in the context of a semi-arid climate where existing groundwater
resources were facing overuse. Provides about 250 vegetable growers
with reliable supply of water, to a quality suitable for irrigation use.
Estimated volume of recycled water is 22,500 ML per year which
represents over 50% of annual plant flow. (Source: Kracman, Martin, &
Sztjanbok, 2001)
Northern Mallee Pipeline: This project in Northern Mallee, Victoria was
Completed in 2002. The project makes provision of an alternative water
distribution system: Conversion of earthen channels to 2500 km pipelines
for stock and domestic water supply system in agricultural region. Project
commenced in 1991 and completed 2002. It has several benefits such as:
Security of water supply on farms for stock, and increased, effectiveness of
pesticides & spray units, Increased flexibility of water systems on farms,
Increase productivity of land through channel decommissioning, Improved
quality of farm life and increased financial security. Estimated volume of
water recovered is 50, 000 ML per year. The project also helps in increased
environmental flows with an allocation of 34,000ML per year. (Source:
WIDCORP, 2006)
The Tungamah Pipeline- Lake Mokoan project: The project situated near
Benalla, Victoria was completed in 2006-07. A water recovery scheme
involving decommissioning of Lake Mokoan and installation of 360km of
pipelines to replace 520km highly inefficient earthen channels. The
Tungamah pipeline links the Tungamah domestic and stock system

command area, without any need for electric power and pumping
machinery.
Upstream Pipeline: The system envisaged here consists of a Pipeline starting from
Bhoruka Reservoir located at Km 17 (Mile 10) on TLBC and moving South-East and
subsequently running parallel to Raichur Gangavathi State Highway. The Pipeline
extends upto D-36. Location of the pipeline is shown in google map below:
Design data for u/s Pipeline is as follows: The Pipeline has a length of 58.20 Km,
diameter 4.00 m, flow velocity 1.775 m/sec. and discharges 22.07 Cumecs (779.40
Cusecs) of water to irrigate 1,16,908 Acres Ayacut at a duty of 150 Acers per
cusecs. The Pipeline intake has +474.77 m total head and exit elevation is +393.00
m, thus a potential head of 81.77 m (268.27 Feet) is available along this Pipeline.
The pipe flow calculations are made using Hazen-William Equation with a friction
factor of 141 for concrete pipes of diameter larger than 1.20 m. Ground level
profile along the Pipeline alignment is also shown in the above figure. Calculation
results are shown in figures below:

The main conclusion can be drawn from above calculations that just beyond 5 Km
head reach of this Pipeline, there is about 10-15 meters pressure head is
available. Dynamic pressure head reaches upto 60 m and static head upto 63 m. It
can also be seen that the Pipeline passes through the undulating ground and it is
possible to refine the alignment after detailed survey and contour maps are
prepared. Also, the results indicate that there is enough pressure head available
above the hillocks and all the high grounds and hillocks can be covered under this
system. This offers an opportunity that entire gross command area can be
brought under pressurized pipe flow irrigation.
Pipeline D-36: This calculation is made to demonstrate that the concept of gravity
based micro-irrigation can be applied to individual distributaries also as entirely
independent system. This also offers opportunity for phased implementation of
this concept.

The Pipeline has a length of 39.010 Km, diameter 3.00 m, flow velocity
1.272 m/sec. and discharges 8.95 Cumecs (316.23 Cusecs) of water to irrigate
47,434 Acres Ayacut at a duty of 150 Acers per cusecs. The Pipeline intake has
+433.75 m total head and exit elevation is +384 m. Thus the Pipeline has a
potential head of 49.75 m (163.22 Feet). The pipe flow calculations are made
using Hazen-William Equation with a friction factor of 141 for concrete pipes of

Kalmala (Km. 199.00) with 7.62 Meters head appear to-be suitable sites and may
be taken up on pilot basis.
For the purpose of feasibility study for small scale schemes, location of
Bhoruka Reservoirs offers suitable conditions. Here Distributaries No. 9, 10 and
10A have command areas of 675, 183 and 563 Acres respectively. These
distributaries have designed discharges of 25.12, 12.53 and 20.00 cusecs
respectively and duties of 27, 15 and 18 Ac/Cusecs respectively.
Pipeline D9_D10_D10A: This Pipeline takes off from Bhoruka Reservoir located at
Km 17 (Mile 10.00) of the Tungabhadra Left Bank Main canal. The Pipeline
replaces Distributaries No. 9, 10 and 10A, those have very high water
consumption as their duties are only 25.12, 12.53 and 20.00 Acers/Cusecs
respectively. Length of the Pipeline is 6.75 Km and initial diameters 0.90 m (3
Page 18 of 21
Feet) from Km 0.00 to Km 4.00, and 0.60 m (2 Feet) from Km 4.00 to Km 6.75. The
Pipeline has a duty of 50 Ac/Cusecs, discharge 0.8046 Cumecs (28.42 Cusecs), and
ayacut 1421 Acres.

Tranche 1: The following works are suggested tobe taken up in Tranche 1, in view
of very tight time schedules and other constraints:
1) Bhoruka Small Scale Gravity Based Micro-Irrigation.
2) Further investigations and topographical survey for large scale schemes.
3) Preparation of Detailed Project Reports.
4) Preparing documentations for obtaining permissions from Central Water
Commission etc.
