4. Automation in dam means automatic control of various
operation of dam and the use of various control systems for
operating equipment such as machinery, processes in dam with
minimal or reduced human intervention.
Automation reduce human effort and keep effective
control on various operation. In this process various remote
senser and software are used.
5. In Our India there are approximately 3200 dam are present.
In Gujarat, 202 dams are there out of them 95 dams have
gates. Approximately, these dams cover 1,70,000 sq.km
catchment area for collecting water. There is also 2067.68 km
long and complex canal network through which about 10
lakes hectares land gets water for irrigation and drinking
purpose. The farmers are dependent on seasonal rain and after
that bore-well water for their crops. Recently, all the farmers
use in flood irrigation system for planting their crops which
needs more water. As we know, water is gradually becoming
one of the most precious natural resources.
6. As the solution of above problem we are making
this project to develop a PLC based system which
detects the water level in dam and thereby control
the movement of gates automatically . Only 1 dam
has partial automated dam controlling system (Ukai
dam on Tapi River at surat). In all-over India 1 and
only 1 canal has fully automated gates. . Only 1 dam
(Indira Gandhi canal on Haraiki Beraj reservoir).
