This book aims to evaluate Environmental flows and ecological
status in Tungabhadra River. The study clearly indicated that the
flow varied over the years. During the monsoon season it flowed at
a moderate level, while it recorded nil flow through the lean
months. The water utilization from the dam was high. Agricultural
and industrial water demand has increased the stress on the water
resources of the river basin. The immediate impact of flow regime
change was observed in the vicinity of the river in the study area,
where farmers observed that their consumption of inorganic
fertilizers has increased and their fields were getting enriched by
the silt. Several incidents had occurred in the basin due to less
flow. The present study provides simple representation of complex
of variables (physical, biological and chemical) that govern the
overall quality of sur-face water that are intended for potable
use. The fisheries in Tungabhadra River support the livelihoods of
a significant proportion of the population. In the river basin,
upper catchment of the basin exhibited moderately good riparian
vegetation, which gradually declined towards the downstream of
Tungabhadra dam.
