The State of Uttarakhand in India has been studying the Jamrani Multipurpose Project in the last 40 years. The government’s feasibility study has been completed and all statutory clearances were obtained. It comprises the construction of a 150-meter-high roller compacted concrete dam across the Gola River, a 14-megawatt toe powerhouse, the expansion and modernization of irrigation canal systems and a drinking water component. The project benefits will include 117 million liters per day drinking water for Haldwani Town, increased water availability for 150,000 ha cultivable command area and annual energy generation of 63 gigawatt-hour as a byproduct. The project is estimated to cost $365 million and was proposed in 2019 for the Asian Development Bank’s financial assistance. A memorandum of understanding was signed in 2018 between the states of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, defining how the cost and benefits will be shared. The paper will discuss the ADB project appraisal process and describe the steps being taken to confirm and enhance the project economic feasibility, improve the mitigation of environmental and social impacts and review and confirm the technical studies.
Résumé
Le projet à usages multiples de Jamrani est étudié par l’état de Uttarakhand en Inde depuis près de 40 ans. L’étude de faisabilité est achevée et toutes les autorisations ont été obtenues. Le projet consiste en un barrage BCR de 150m de haut sur la rivière Gola, une usine hydroélectrique de 14MW, l’expansion et la modernisation de canaux d’irrigation et une station d’eau potable. Les objectifs du projet sont d’augmenter l’apport en eau potable de 117 millions de litre par jour pour la ville de Haldwani et d’augmenter la disponibilité en eau pour 150 000 ha de zone de commande cultivable. La production d’énergie est un sous-produit. Le cout estimé du projet est de 365 MUSD. L’état de Uttarakhand a demandé en 2019 l’assistance de la Banque Asiatique de Développent pour son financement. Un mémorandum a été signé en 2018 entre les états de Uttarakhand et Uttar Pradesh, définissant comment les coûts et les bénéfices vont être partagés. Cet article va discuter de comment ADB procède avec l’évaluation de ce projet. Il va décrire les différentes étapes afin de confirmer ou améliorer la faisabilité économique, améliorer la mitigation des impacts environnementaux et sociaux et revoir et confirmer les études techniques.
