“Reminiscence of An Engineer” - A New Book

M. Pasupathy, B.E., CHENNAI

Chief Engineer, P.W.D. (Retired) 25.12.2015

Plot, 271, Lakshmanaswamy Salai

K.K. Nagar, Chennai- 78

Dear Brother Senior Engineers of P.W.D & friends,

VANAKKAM

At the outset, I request your pardon for not presenting myself in person before

you. Which is due to my physical disabilities and I bow my head to you to kindly

accept and hear the reading of my message by my classmate, colleague and

close family friend Er. K. Natarajan, who had kindly consented to do.

My happy greetings to one and all for a good peaceful and healthy life in the

coming new year 2016.

I have passed 80 years in my life recently (Date of birth 17.12.1935) and request

all the elder engineers to bestow their blessings to me, whereas I bless all the

younger engineers for their prosperity and peace.

Having served the P.W.D for nearly 36 years, my mind directed me to expose

what are all there in it to the knowledge of others, for their benefit. This thought

made me to bring out the book "Reminiscence of An Engineer" wherein I

have narrated the various type of works executed in my career, which I consider

as a small achievement and accomplishment to my satisfaction in spite of some

odds and spikes; as my motto was the Gita slogan I have quoted in the book

which is "Welcome everything as it happens".

As per norms. the book contains my profile, dedication to my parents and wife,

acknowledgement, preface, foreword from six illustrious engineers of our own

P.W.D as well as members of our association and my narration in five chapters

(i.e. all the five posts in the department)

I had given a list of landmark structures that I was in Association with. Also I

have given a small note on the "rarity in service", where I have recorded that I

have worked in a place "Thiruvannamalai" in all the posts and at Salem in the top

four posts of the Department and I would be happy to know if anybody else had

this opportunity.


My limited resources could enable me to print only limited number of books for

distribution among my family and to the Association: Accordingly I have given

100 (one hundred) number of books to the association to be distributed to our

members at the discretion of our energetic Secretary, to people who will read,

cherish and spread all the good things to others, without wasting the same. The

book is not priced, as l am distributing FREE of cost.

Hence I request the pardon of our members who may not get the book, but I can

make arrangements to print and give any number above 100, if anybody

sponsors for the cost and willing for free distribution through our Secretary.

Thanking you all with a bow of my head and VANNAKAM for the patient hearing

and bearing with me.

Flood Disaster in Chennai - Reasons Remedial Measures Let us know... Adayar Floods – Heavy Damages – Reasons and Remedial Measures...

Er.A.Veerappan, ME (Struct), FIE, Er.N.Kailasapathy, & Er.B.Arunkumar

Introduction:

Chennai City and its suburban areas in three districts – Chennai, Thiruvallur, Kancheepuram and

Cuddalore District are subjected to very heavy down pour – to the extent of 475mm on a single day unprecedent on Dec 1 – 2, 2015. Commencing from November 8, 2015 & upto Dec 4, there was continuous rainfall causing unprecedented heavy damages to lives and properties of the common people. Rescue operations carried out by social activists, NDRF, Army, Navy & Air force besides fire services are really to be appreciated, thereby reducing the casualties to the minimum.

1. There were / are heated discussions and accusations in the media (especially in TOI, The Hindu, TVs, Thanthi, Kalaignar News, Sathiyam & Makkal TV etc) to the extent that....

i. There occurred inordinate delay at higher levels in issuing order for letting out flood waters from Chembarambakkam Tank into Adayar river between Nov. 29 to Dec 1, 2015.

ii. The Flood waters as reported more than 29000 cusecs (upto 50000 cusecs) was opened from Chembarambakkam Tank suddenly without giving the much required warning.

iii. But actually a quantum of 50000 cusecs to 60000 cusecs of flood waters passed under the Saidapettai bridge on 1st Night / Second Dec.2015, causing enormous damages to lives and properties of the people.

iv. If the flood waters from Chembarambakkam Tank were let out from November 27th,2015 itself in smaller quantities say 5000/10000cusecs, the above said damages could have been avoided/lessened.

v. Hence there is urgent necessity to institute an enquiry commission headed by the judge of Supreme Court / Chennai High Court with the experts and to bring out the real facts so that

corrective remedial measures can be taken to prevent such damages in the coming years. As experienced expert engineers of TNPWD having social concern upper most in our

speech and activities, we wish to detail the real reasons / our lapses for the heavy damages


caused in the Adayar floods – especially after opening of flood waters from Chembarambakkam Tank on the night of 1st Dec 2015.

2. There are established and codified rules and regulations of Government (called as

Compendium of Water Regulation in reservoirs / Anaicuts for every system) for opening a reservoir in normal seasons and also during flood times. These are normally followed by the PWD Engineers in consultation with the District Collectors concerned. In practice, a reservoir /Tanks like Poondi, Chembarabakkam and Puzhal have special operation rules and regulations in letting out drawing waters since these tanks are the main sources of drinking water to Chennai City and also jointly operated with the engineers of Chennai Metro Water. Continuously monitoring the rain fall, the quantum of inflow flood waters to the tank, they are expected to let out water when reaching 90% of the full storage capacity of the tank / reservoirs since precious drinking water cannot be wasted by letting out into the sea, as non technical and politicians now cry.

3. As for the Chemabarmbakkam Tank is concerned its full storage capacity – 3.645 TMC

(1 TMC = 100 Crore Cubic Feet)

90% of full capacity = 3.280 TMC It has 24 outlet wents having a total discharge capacity of 33060 cft only with full storage level. In reality the storage of water (quantum) , inflow and outflow in the Chembarambakkam

Source : Chennai Metro Water

Hence it can be clearly seen that 90% of full storage capacity of the Tank has been realised only on 1st

of Dec 2015 night (3.396 TMC ) and not on earlier Nov.29 or Nov. 30, 2015.

This important drinking water cannot be let out into Adayar River (which is going to be waste flowing into the sea) in anticipation of mere expectations of meterological periodic bulletins, believing 100% as accurate since engineeringly the rainfall is ever changing dynamic activity varying in space and time. (Point: The bulletin by the Nation Director Thiru. Rathore given on 2nd Dec 2015 did not materialse at all as for as Chennai City is concerned.)

Thiru.S.R.Ramanan, Director, Chennai Metereological Centre Categorically reported that timing of rainfall and exact place etc., cannot be accurately predicted. Hence it can be hydraulically concluded that there was no impending warrancy to open the flood gates of Chembarambakkam Tank earlier to Dec. 1, 2015 as indicated by real data

The quantum of flood waters opened out from the Chembarambakkam Tank was slowly and gradually raised from 8000 cusecs, 12000 cusecs, 18000 cusecs, 25000 cusecs and finally 29,000 cusecs respectively by usual intimation and not to 29000cusecs suddenly.

Even then heavy damages occurred, reaching a compounded quantity of 60000cusecs

under the Saidapettai Bridge on 2nd Dec. 2015. This is because of two engineering / social realities of the existing Adayar River. The two flow diagrams of Adayar River may please be carefully studied.

4. There is a distance of 23.40Km between Chembarambakkam Tank and Saidapettai Bridge. Further there are 278 irrigation Rain fed tanks spread over 136sq.km area and all were surplused and some were breached on 1st/2nd December 2015 and made the situation worser. The continuous rain fall in the upper reaches of Adayar River between these days (especially 475mm on 1-12-2015) combined together and drained into Adayar River, totaling the flow to about 60000 cusecs (whereas the water opened out from Chembarambakkam was only 29000 cusecs)

and definitely not unofficially 50000 cusecs from Chembarambakkam Tank as alleged without any basis by the politicians / media reports.

5. The bed width of River Adayar when it reaches Chennai City is about 200m (~650feet). By artificial politically motivated / encouraged illegal encroachments during the past 25 years, it was reduced between the Airport and Nandambakkam (222m at Airport to 59m at Nandambakkam) 68m at Ekkattuthangal before coming to Saidapettai Bridge to 83.3m (274feet) revealing the extent of heavy encroachments that were / are allowed to flourish, forcing the water level to raise for about 5m to 6m during heavy floods and causing severe damages. Further the bed level of Adayar river between Airport and Ekkattuthangal has

artificially risen by 4m due to unchecked dumping of solid wastes and construction debris. It is also seen the top level of banks of Adayar within the city is just 2m height only instead of required 6m height. These banks only allowed the entry of flood waters into the residences and roads and streets upto a height of 1.50m to 3.00m. This is purely an engineering hydraulics.

6. The estuaries (River mouth entering the sea) a re not also periodically dredged to allow the free flow of flood waters.

Hence the real villains for the Chennai flood damages are


i. Allowing reduction of bed width knowingly by the authorities concerned over a period. ii. Heavy encroachments by way of buildings / structures / huts along the banks in the last 15

years. iii. Dumping of solid wastes and Construction rubbish / debris into the river beds all along the

river course inside the Chennai city.

Therefore we must concentrate our efforts to rectify the defects within a short period instead of wasting our time on baseless allegations/accusations, demanding wasteful enquiry commissions and suppressing the real facts instead of pinpointing the lethargy and collapse of Government machinery which miserably failed during these flood times.

7. Some of the concrete remedial measures suggested by us are detailed below for adoption by the Government and official agencies.

i. There should be total ban for the construction of buildings (including residences, offices, hotels etc) since Chennai City is already saturated / overcrowded.

ii. There should be also ban in the suburban areas of Chennai City for the construction of multi-

storeyed buildings especially in low lying areas.

iii. Government must create only Satellite Towns at 30KM – 50KM distance from Chennai City with strict planning, all infra structure facilities such as roads, electricity, and water supply and drainage system.

iv. Those people now occupying illegally along the banks of Adayar, Coovam & Buckingham Canal

should be provided with alternative accommodation with all infrastructural facilities in selected parts and then evacuated.

v. Since the volume of cars and other vehicles in use is more than permitted and to be

accommodated in Chennai roads, there should be ban for future purchase of vehicles without car parking facilities on their own. Street parking is also to be banned.

vi. In order to control the existing traffic jams / congestions, we may copy Delhi Model of odd

numbered one day & even numbered on other day in the roads.

vii. All storm water Drains in Chennai City and suburbs should be thoroughly cleaned and also they are properly inter connected to the nearest river / canal for draining rainwater quickly.

viii. We may try to construct Tunnel Reservoir Projects in the periphery of Chennai City at least

ten numbers for easing out floodwaters as well as to treat sewerage water by recycling with proper ETP units.

ix. Immediate removal of all kinds of encroachments from all water bodies including Tanks &

Lakes, Supply Channels & outlet canals and effectively improved with deepening & removal of silt to hold all the rain & flood waters.

x. There should be time- bound ( say 5 years / 10 years) bold plan with at least

Rs.1.00 Lakh crores outlay for improving the existing bigger lakes, Anaicuts (including desilting & deepening) and new construction of check dams, Grade walls and streamlining the existing

canals & Channels – removal of juliflora from all tanks beds and bunds – prepared by our own water management experts under the well merited guidance of Senior Engineers with effective coordination of all Technical Departments obtaining funds from NAABARD, LIC & Public Sector banks cost loans. Political interference and domination of Finance Department to be totally


checked and a special purpose vehicle (under PPP mode) with the inclusion of proven NGOs of Tamilnadu may be established for early execution all water management schemes.

Conclusions:

From the foregoing observations, it is concluded that

1. The quantum and intensity of continuous rainfall to the extent of 475 mm on a single day on Dec

1/2, 2015over an area of 500 sq.km caused all the rivers in spate at a time simultaneously.

2. Even though the original flood carrying capacity of Adayar River is about 72000 cusecs, it has

been drastically reduced to about 40000 cusecs due to numerous encroachments along its

course, especially at Nandambakkam, Ekkattuthangal and Kotturpuram wherein the original river

width of 250m has been reduced to just 60m. Further, the dumping of solid wastes and

construction debris in the past 2 decades by the Chennai Corporation, local bodies besides

individuals artificially raised the bottom bed level of the Adayar River by 4 to 5 m (from + 6m to

+10m - MSL) and thereby forcing the floodwaters to outflank the banks of Adayar which are also

very low, just having 2m to 3m above river bed level instead of 6m to 8m height.

3. Without adhering to the development control rules and guidelines, lakhs and lakhs of buildings

(structures) in the low lying water bodies have been constructed in the Chennai City and its

suburbs due to urbanisation on extraneous considerations and it has worsened the flood

situations.

4. Hence urgent and positive constructive remedial measures are to be planned, finalised and

executed within a prescribed time schedule by the Government agencies in co-ordination /

consultation with experienced experts and also NGOs that alone will prevent any such future

flood disasters in Chennai and its suburban areas.
