1. INTRODUCTION
This is third Bi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report prepared for Pakpattan Canal &
Sulemanki Barrage Improvement Project (PCSBIP). Details of activities performed under
environmental aspects of the project during July 2015 to December 2015 are described in
this report. Construction activities carried out on both contracts of PCSBIP i.e. Rehabilitation
of Sulemanki Barrage and Rehabilitation of Pakpattan Canal Main Canal, Khadir Branch &
PI Link Canal are included.
Sulemanki Barrage is the first barrage on Satluj River after the river enters into Pakistan
tertiary. The barrage is designed to for 325,000 cusecs discharge and located about 20km
(12 miles) from Haveli Lakha and about 150km (94miles) from Lahore (capital of Punjab
Province). Three Irrigation Canals viz Pakpattan, Fordwah and Eastern Sadiqia Canals are
fed from this barrage. The total canal command area of three canals is 2.5 million acres,
which is 9.25% of the total irrigated area of Punjab (27 million acres) and has considerable
contribution in the agricultural production of Punjab. Three canal command area spread over
the six districts of Punjab i.e. Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, Okara, Pakpattan, Vehari and
Lodhran.
Pakpattan Canal off takes from River Sutlej at right side of Sulemanki Barrage. The design
discharge of canal is 6,594 cusecs at head. The total canal command area is about one
million acres distributed in districts Okara, Pakpattan, Vehari and Lodhra on the right side of
the River Sutlej. The main Pakpattan canal is perennial and only close for annual
maintenance requirement during the months of December and January. Khadir Branch and
PI Link Canal are non-perennial and closed during summer.
2. BACKGROUND
Pakistan Irrigation system originally developed during mid 19th and early 20th century and
therefore the major chunk of the system is more than 80 years old. Upgrading and/or proper
maintenance of the irrigation system has not been carried out since the system is
constructed. Pakpattan Canal and distribution network and Sulemanki Barrage were
commissioned in 1926. Feasibility and detail design study of rehabilitation & upgrading of
Pakpattan Canal Main line, Khadir Branch, Pakpattan-Islam Link Canal and Sulemanki
Barrage were completed in 2013. The project named as “Pakpattan Canal & Sulemanki Barrage Improvement Project (PCBIP)” was awarded for construction in mid 2014. The project is divided into two construction contract:

2.1 Pakpattan Main Canal (Upper & Lower), Khadir Branch and PI-Link Canal
Pakpattan Canal and distribution network cultivating about 1.25 million acres was
commissioned in June 1926. The design discharge of Pakpattan Canal was 6,594 cusecs at
head regulator built on the right flank of Suleimanki Barrage. Pakpattan Canal irrigates land
in the districts of Okara, Pakpattan, Vehari, and Lohdran. Pakpattan canal has perennial as
well as non perennial irrigation system and shut down for annual maintaining requirements
during December/January. Khadir Branch and PI Link Canal is a non perennial part of the
system.
Pakpattan Main Canal
In pursuance of Indus Water Treaty (1960), India got the usage rights of the eastern
tributaries of River Indus (Ravi, Sutlej and Beas). Consequently upon the construction of
Bhakra/Nangal Dam on river Sutlej and Pandoh & Pong Dam on Beas, discharges in Sutlej
were reduced significantly. The reduction in average annual flow of Sutlej River after the
treaty is provided in Water Resources Management Directorate WAPDA and given below
River Average Annual Flow from 1922 to 1961
Average Annual Flow from 1985 to 1995
Average Annual Flow 2000 to 2009
Sutlej 7 MAF 5 MAF 1.1 MAF
Significant works for conveying water from western rivers through link canals to overcome
the shortfall in the eastern rivers were devised and constructed. Balloki-Suleimanki Link
canal (B.S Link) brings about 25,000 cusecs from Balloki barrage to feed the off taking
canals of the Suleimanki Barrage. With construction of Sidhni Mailsi Bahawal Link (SMB
Link) Canal Pakpattan main canal was split into two parts i.e. Pakpattan Canal Upper (PC
(U)) from RD 0 to 567 and Pakpattan Canal Lower (PC (L)) from RD 568 to 667. Due to this
intervention, PC (L) now draws its supplies from SMB Link.

Khadir Branch
Khadir branch off-taking from PC (upper) at RD 112+104/L draws a discharge of 2250
cusecs and irrigates an area of about 329,000 acres and is one of the large non-perennial
canal systems. Khadir branch system has, over the years of use, sustained substantial
damages to the hydraulic structures and the canal prism. The fall structures on this channel
were first remodeled in late thirties by Mr. Prothero & Mr. Burkitt, who changed the fall
sections to stepped and in some cases to expanding glacis type. These falls and some
bridge decks were repaired in the early ninetees but are still facing serious problems and
demand rehabilitation and remodeling, some to the extent of reconstruction which has been
provided in this project.
PI Link Canal
The Pakpattan Islam Link (PI Link) off-takes from RD 406+828/L of Pakpattan Canal (upper)
and transfers about 1000 cs from Pakpattan canal back to Sutlej river U/S of Islam
headworks to feed the Upper Bahawal and Qaim Canals. The water so abstracted from
Pakpattan canal is recouped at RD 267+000 through another link canal named Montgomery
Pakpattan link (MP Link) from LBD canal whose discharge, in consequence, has been
increased by about 1100 cs at its head at Balloki Barrage.

2.2 Sulemanki Barrage
Sulemanki Barrage is one of the four barrages/ headworks constructed under Sutlej Valley
Project (SVP), the other 3 being Ferozepur on its upstream; and Islam and Panjnad on the
downstream side. Sulemanki Barrage was built during 1921-1926 with a designed discharge
capacity of 325,000 cs to irrigate vast tracts of fertile agricultural land lying on both sides of
the Sutlej River. The barrage was formally inaugurated on April 12, 1926. Sadiqia and
Fordwah Canals commenced irrigation on May 1 and Pakpattan canal on June 1, 1926.
Since signing of the Indus Water Treaty 1960, India has construction two storage dams on
Sutlej River and almost all of the flows of the river, except the floods that cannot be stored in
the dams, are being used in India. Historical discharge data indicates that the flood
discharge in the river exceeded the designed capacity of the barrage four times; in 1947
(325,000 cfs), 1950 (332,000 cfs), 1955 (597,000 cfs) and 1988 (499,000 cfs).

Table 1: Project Profile
4. PROJECT PURPOSE
Ever since the construction, the structure of Sulemanki Barrage has suffered heavily from
floods during the monsoon seasons. The barrage is about 86 years old now and aging
process with inadequate / deferred maintenance has also contributed towards general
deterioration of the different components of the barrage.
Similarly, Pakpattan Canal was heavily damaged during floods of 1988 when the discharge
escaping through the breaches in RMB of Sulemanki Barrage destroyed the canal prism in
the first ten miles or so and damaged the allied structures. The uncontrolled flow discharge
entered the canal and also obliterated the canal prism with scours and erosion in many
places. The hydraulic structures have also sustained substantial ageing defects. No major
rehabilitation works have been carried out during the 80 years of life time of the Pakpattan
Canal system consequently the main canal and its distribution system have become less
efficient.
The project is designed to rehabilitate and upgrading of Pakpattan Main Canal (upper &
lower), Khadir Branch, Pakpattan-Islam Link canal and Sulemanki Barrage. The scope of
work includes the following:
Pakpattan Canal
Channel prisms to be rehabilitated and restored to designed sections. This will be
achieved through construction of studs or berm cutting. Where brushwood is
available, killa bushing will be done for berm formation;

PSS Consultants 6
Pakpattan canal Lower will be remodeled to carry the increased discharge of 1160
cs;
Regulators and falls without stilling basin will be reconstructed; downstream of many
fall structures especially on Khadir Branch deep scour pits and embayments have
been formed due to improper energy dissipation. These will be rehabilitated with
proper design of stilling basins.
Structures in deteriorated condition will be rehabilitated and where rehabilitation cost
is not much different from reconstruction, the structures will be re-constructed;
New VR bridges will be constructed to cater for the changed requirements;
Foot bridges will be constructed/rehabilitated;
Raising and strengthening banks of the channels to provide required free board and
cater for hydraulic safety;
Additional cattle ghats will be constructed and the damaged ghats will be
rehabilitated;
Protection works will be provided to minimize embayment near the structures;
Defective & worn out gates and hoisting arrangements will be replaced/rehabilitated;
In Khadir branch, gates are proposed to be installed on the distributary head
regulators as well as cross regulators;
Distribution complex will be constructed at the tail of Pakpattan Canal Upper; and

7.3 Implementation of Environmental Monitoring Plan
External Monitoring
The Contractor hired the services of Apex Laboratory (approved laboratory from EPA
Punjab) for bi-annual environmental monitoring as per the requirement of the contract i.e.
EMP. Apex Laboratory carried out ambient air and water quality testing / monitoring during
August 2015, original test report submitted by the contractor is attached as an Annexure 2.
Monitoring parameters and water quality test results meet the NEQS limits and it can be
concluded that project activities including wastewater disposal at contractor’s camps do not adversely impacting on environmental resources of the area.
Internal Monitoring
Physical Environment
Internal instrumental monitoring of water quality and noise carried out on monthly basis
according to EMP. Five parameters of water quality including pH, Ec, DO, TDS and
temperature were monitored along Pakpattan Canal, Sulemanki Barrage and Camps area.
Pakpattan Canal and Sulemanki Barrage Bi-Annual Environmental Improvement Project (PCSBIP) Progress Report - 3
PSS Consultants 16
Monitoring results are attached under Annexure 2. Water quality monitoring indicates the
project activities do not adversely affect water resources of the area.
Dust monitoring carried out on regular basis as specified in the EMP. All the dust prone
tracks/roads sprinkle with water twice a day during dray and hot weather or at when required
basis.
Noise monitoring conducted at the camp site and at construction site the record is attached
under Annexure 2. Elevated noise levels were found occasionally particularly next to the
generators and plant operation. As an remedial measure the out of order machinery was
immediately repaired or silencer installed to bring the level within the NEQS i.e. 75dB. In
addition it was ensured that ear plugs are used by the machine operators and other workers
near the noise producing activities.
Consultant and Contractor are conducting Noise and surface water quality monitoring at site.
Biological Environment
Uprooting of trees was required for provision of temporary diversions and canal lining work
along Pakpattan Main Canal and Khadir Branch. There was no uprooting of trees required at
Sulemanki Barrage for project activities. Compensation as refurbishment cost was given to
Punjab Forest Department as the plantation along the canals is managed by Forest
Department. Following payments are made to DFO Sahiwal as refurbishment cost.

Forest Department utilized these funds in their annual plantation plan in the vicinity of the
project area.
Fish trapped in the cofferdam, constructed at Sulemanki Barrage, was released to the
downstream of the river by the contractor’s environmental team. All forest, wildlife and
fisheries laws were respected and abided by the site workers and monitored by the
contractor and consultant environmental team. All vehicles, machinery, equipment and
generators used during construction activities were kept in good working condition and be
properly tuned to minimize the adverse impact on waterfowl habitat by reducing noise,
exhaust and land disturbance. Necessary sign boards were displayed to remind the
obligation of labour, visitors and members of public towards Biota.
Social Environment
Public consultations were conducted at villages or daras located near the construction site.
Social Framework Agreements were completed during the consultations in case the
contractor’s utilize any local privately owned resources e.g. tube well, land for borrow
material, public path etc. Redresal Mechanism is followed by keeping the complaint register
on site. So far no complain registered by any community member against the project related
activity. Details of few consultations are given below:
Public consultation was held at RD 384 of PC Upper canal regarding the construction of
temporary diversion channel for construction of new x-Regulator in the canal. Community
was worried about the rehabilitation of their private land at the completion of work. It was
ensured to the land owners that their land will be returned by properly rehabilitated i.e.
level the area, remove all the demolition waste, replace contaminated soil if any with
fertile soil etc.
Public Consultation was held at RD 216 of PC Upper. People were made aware about
the new construction activity of temporary diversion channel. Land acquisition schedule
was properly conveyed to people & they were made sure that they will get full crop
compensation. SFA was also completed with the land owner in the consultation.
A Public Consultation was held at RD 53 PC Upper. People were told about the
construction of new temporary diversion channel from their fields. People were worried
that how will they get crop compensation. They were made assure that a proper crop
