Catchment Area Treatment Plan including Micro-level Survey and its clearance from MOEF for Parwan Major Irrigation cum Drinking Water Supply Project. (8200 Sq.km) (Project Cost : INR 4290 Million)

Funding Agency: Government of Rajasthan

Location: Jhalawar, Rajasthan

Parwan major irrigation project is proposed on river Parwan, which is a main tributary of river Chambal in Jhalawar District. The river Parwan forms after the confluence of river Ghorapachhar and river Ajnar about 1 Km. upstream of Manoharthana town. Presently the water of river Parwan is going waste therefore, to utilise the Rajasthan , India State water and 10% water from M.P. State catchment area, it is proposed to construct dam across river Parwan near Akawad Khurd village of Distt. Jhalawar to store about 490.00 Mcum water and utilize it by providing irrigation facilities in about 100000 ha. C.C.A. of district Jhalawar, Kota and Baran. The dam is proposed to be constructed near village Akawad Khurd of Tehsil Khanpur, district Jhalawar. The dam site is about 50 Km. from Jhalawar district. The nearest Railway station is at Atru, which is about 50 Km. from dam site. The dam site is also about 50 Km from NH-12. The dam site has been finalised by the Chief Engineer, Irrigation, Rajasthan , India in the month of November 2004
