1. NOA-DEHING MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT
The Noa-dehing
river is a tributary of Lohit river. The river originates from the Indo-Myanmar border and has a catchment of
2404 sq. km upto the proposed dam site at Miao. To exploit the hydropower and irrigation potential (within Arunachal
Pradesh), the project was revived in 1995-96 with a 45m high dam at 4 km upstream of Miao township.
The installed capacity
of the project is 75 MW. The gross command area of the project is 8000 ha. The DPR of the project is likely to be completed by
December'2011.

2. LOHIT MULTIPURPOSE
PROJECT
Lohit river is a major tributary of the Brahmaputra with about 10% contribution of the run-off at Pandu. The Board started investigation for a multipurpose dam project with dam site at a new location called Mompani from
1996 onwards. The height of the proposed dam is reduced to 142 m.
|
3. SIMSANG DAM PROJECT
The river Simsang originates from Southern part of Garo Hills near
Tura at an elevation of 500 m. The proposed location of the project is near Rangkhandi village about 6 km away
from Nangal bibira. Survey and investigation for Simsang dam project was started by Brahmaputra Board during 1997. The height of the proposed dam is 78m and power potential
of the projects is 65 MW. The DPR of the project is likely to be completed by 2012-13.

range 1100m-1200 m and flows down north. Survey and investigation for Killing dam project was started by
Brahmaputra Board during 2001-02.
The project envisages construction of a 100 m
high concrete gravity dam with installed capacity of 85 MW. The target for preparation of DPR has been kept as 2013-14.

MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT
The river Jiadhal is one of the important North bank tributaries of the Brahmaputra. The Jiadhal sub-basin falls in the West Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh and Dhemaji district of
Assam. The project is proposed to have 100 m high concrete gravity dam with installed capacity of 70 MW.
The target for preparation of DPR for the project
has been kept as 2013-14.
