Water reservoirs are built essentially to store the water which otherwise would flow to the sea and be wasted during floods. Any large scale storage of water is bound to have environmental impacts. If these impacts are properly identified in the planning stage, it would help in minimizing the adverse effects and in maximizing the advantages of the developmental projects. Recently there has been a move to examine and evaluate water projects for their design and for their impacts on the relevant environmental system. This paper discusses the environmental impact of the existing Mahi-Kadana and Dharoi Irrigation Projects with particular reference to the positive effects like agricultural production, power generation, water supply, employment opportunity, pisciculture, flood control, tourism and the adverse effects like waterlogging, salt-efflorescence, health hazards, deforestation, loss of land fertility, displacement of people, change in river regime and changes in ecological balance of flora and fauna. Remedial measures to minimize such adverse effects of the projects are discussed.
