Introduction
• The project is situated near Mekedatu, spanning across the
River Cauvery.
• It aims to provide drinking water to the Bengaluru
Metropolitan region (4.75 TMC) and generate 400 MW of
renewable energy annually.
• The total project cost is Rs. 9,000.00 Crores.
• The project needs 5252.40 Ha of land, including wildlife
sanctuary, reserve forest, and revenue land.
• Approximately 4996 Ha of land will be submerged, with a Full
Reservoir Level (FRL) at 440.00 meters.
• The project's study area covers submergence zones, project
components, beneficiaries, and environmental assessments in
2
the upstream and downstream regions.
Literature Review
1. Salman Özüpekçe's study on the Aslantaş Dam Reservoir's environmental
impact.

2. Dam-triggered Land Use Land Cover Change Detection and Comparison


(Transition Matrix method) of Urmodi River Watershed of Maharashtra,
India" by Bagwan et. al.:

3. The research conducted by Sajjad Hussain and Shankar Karuppannan in


the district of Khanewal, Punjab, Pakistan, focuses on the assessment of
Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes and their impact on Land Surface
Temperature (LST) using remote sensing techniques.

4. The study of Lake Malombe in Southern Malawi, Rodgers Makwinja, and


Emmanuel Kaunda address the critical issue of land use and land cover
(LULC) dynamics and their impact on ecosystem service value (ESV).

5. The research conducted by Rodgers Makwinja and Emmanuel Kaunda,


they delve into the critical issue of land use and land cover (LULC)
dynamics and their repercussions on the ecosystem service value (ESV) in
