1. Removing silt and sediment using mechanical equipment, such as dredgers and with community involvement and light use of machinery.
2. Construction of loose boulder plugs to capture and settle sediment before it enters water bodies.
4. Creating small reservoirs to capture silt and sediment in in submergence area.
Desilting in old tanks involves removing accumulated silt, sediment, and debris from the bottom of the tank to restore its original capacity and efficiency.
1. Restore Tank Capacity: Remove accumulated silt to increase the tank's storage capacity.
2. Improve Water Quality: Eliminate contaminants and sediment that can affect water quality.
3. Enhance Safety: Reduce the risk of tank failure or overflow due to silt buildup.
4. Increase Lifespan: Extend the tank's lifespan by preventing corrosion and damage from silt accumulation.
5. Maintain Efficiency: Ensure optimal performance of pumps, valves, and other tank components.
1. Increased Storage Capacity: The tank's original storage capacity is restored.
2. Improved Water Clarity: Water quality improves due to reduced sediment and contaminants.
3. Reduced Maintenance: Decreased need for frequent cleaning and repairs.
4. Extended Tank Lifespan: The tank's lifespan is prolonged due to reduced corrosion and damage.
5. Optimized System Performance: Efficient operation of pumps, valves, and other tank components.
6. Desilting leads to an increase in impounding capacity by 10000 CuM.
Desilting of existing tanks through Community participation to restore or increase water impounding capacity especially through '' shram dan by community".
