Electricity produced from the water is called the hydropower or hydro-electric power. The falling water turns the water wheel or the turbine and electricity is generated. It is the most convenient and versatile form of energy. It plays a key role in agriculture and industrial development and nation's growth and productivity can be analyzed through the quantity of its energy consumption.
Since first five year plan, India is given much emphasis on generation of hydro-electric power from major hydro and mini hydel projects. These hydel projects also help in irrigation and fish culture. Hence they are called multipurpose projects. Some of the important power projects are given below.
The Major Hydro Electricity Projects in India:
Sivsamundra project of the river the Can very in Karnataka was the first major hydro-electric project in Asia. It was constructed in 1902. Then many major hydropower projects came into being. During first five year plan, much emphasis was given on generation of hydroelectricity and construction of a number of major river valley projects. Some of the important major hydropower projects are discussed below.
1. Bhakra Nangal project:
The Bhakra Nangal project, on the river the Sutlej, with its four power stations at Nan gal, Bhakra, Ganguwal and Kotla is an important hydro power project. It has an installed capacity of 1.2 million KW. It supplies electricity to Punjab, Haryana and Delhi.
2. The Damodar valley project:
The Damodar valley project, with its three hydel power stations at Tilaiya, Matron and Panchet is built on the river the " Damodar. It has an installed capacity of 104 mw (megawaits) electricity. It supplies power to Bihar and West Bengal.
3. The Hirakud dam project:
The major hydroelectricity power project in Orissa is the Hirakud Dam Project on the river the Mahanadi. Its capacity of generating power is 270.2 MW. The Rourkela Steel Plant mainly gets power supply from it.
4. The Riband project:
It is essentially a hydroelectric project. It has an installed capacity of 300 MW. On the boarders of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh water is stored in form of a large lake and power is generated.
5. The Chambal valley project:
On the river the Chambal, two power houses are constructed, one at Gandhi Sagar Dam in Madhya Pradesh and the other one at Kota in Rajasthan. The total installed capacity from both the power houses is 180 MW.
6. The Koyana hydro electric project:
Itis one of the largest projects in Maharashtra. The water of the Koyana, a tributory of the Krishna is utilized for power generation. The total capacity installed is 540 MW. It supplies electricity mainly to Bombay-Poona industrial belt.
7. The Tungabhadra project:
This is a joint collaboration of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The power house is built on the river the Tungabhadra.
These are few hydroelectric projects. Apart from these, there are other projects like the Gandak hydroelectric project on the river the Gandak, and Parambikulam Aliyar on the river the Periyar. Some hydroelectric projects are there that are either completed or are on the verge of completion.
Dulhasti, Uri and Salal (stage-II) (all in Jammu and Kashmir) hydroelectric projects, Chamera Stage-I (Himachal Pradesh) and Tanakpur hydro-electric project (UP) are important among them.
