Visit to Ramganga Dam
A one day Field visit to the Ramganga Dam, Kalagarh was organized by the Department of Civil Engineering, faculty of engineering TMU Moradabad for diploma students, on 24th May 2022. The Field visit covers knowledge on theory and field exposure for the subjects Irrigation Engineering, Hydropower Engineering, Hydrology.
The Different parts of Dam and their functions were explained by Executive Engineer as well as Assistant Engineer to the students. They were explained the Dam is part of Ramganga Multipurpose Project- an Irrigation and Hydroelectric project. It support a 198 MW power station and provides water for the irrigation of more than 57500 hectare (more than 142,086 acre) of agricultural land, it also provide flood control. Construction of Dam began in 1961 and it was completed in 1974.The Francis turbine use for electricity generation.
They explain the height of Dam is a 128 m and 630 meter long Earth and rock-fill embankment dam with 10,000,000 m3 of fill. The Dam’s spillway is controlled by five gate and has maximum discharge of 8467 m3/s. To support the reservoir elevation, there is 72 meter tall saddle dam on the reservoir area 2.5 km to the northeast on the Chui Sot River. The reservoir created by both dam has a 2247x106 m3 .The surface of reservoir is 79.31 km2 and and a catchment area of 3134 km2. The power station at toe of dam contain three 66 MW Francis turbine generators and design hydraulic head is 84.4 m. On downstream of dam is a over 6300 km of canal supported by three barrage and 82 km of main feeder canal
