Abstract :

 In present research study, Reinstallation of Fusegates after Fusing on Wanakbori Weir (Gujarat)has carried out. Government of Gujarat (GOG) has implemented this innovative Fusegate technology on 12 irrigation schemes through Hydroplus International – FRANCE. Out of these 12 dams, Wanakbori Weir (Gujarat) experienced fusing of Fusegates due to heavy flashy flood. It found that no other such incidence observed till date. But, in 2006 flood experience few numbers of gates fused and till date authority don’t reinstall these fused Fusegates on weir. This study gives information about reinstallation of Fusegates on Wanakbori weir. After installation of Fusegates, reservoir storage capacity increased, increased command area, change occurred in cropping pattern, increased driving head and thereby increased canal capacity and firming of irrigation. Fusegate system can raise Full Reservoir Level, Storage capacity and Spillway discharge capacity without affecting Maximum Water Level and additional submergence. This system proved best alternative compare to other gate system. It found cheaper in long run if fusing of Fusegate phenomenon does not occur early. Where fusing phenomenon occurred in Wanakbori weir, and facing problem of again Ungated system on that weir, but in that case also Fusegate system worked exactly according to predetermined design to save dam, downstream lives, property, cattle and farming. After fusing of fusegates all this benefit were reduce and loss of money by crop production. This research paper gives information on before and after fusegates its benefits and losses. So, this study will suggest GOG to reinstall these fused Fusegates and future losses will reduces by reinstallation of fusegates on Wanakbori weir
