The increased level of industrialization | 9.4 | Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects | Yes | Another huge-sized major project Indria Sagar Major Multipurpose Project is planned in the vicinity of Tapti Major project on river Narmada. However, both of these projects have their own well-defined catchment and command areas as well as users and water-use.
Though in both of the command areas, the characteristic trait of the soil is free-draining, but taking extra-precaution to thwart any potential waterlogging, provision of pressure irrigation in total command area | | (III) | Environmental Sensitivity | S.No | Areas | Name/Identity | Aerial distance (within 15km.) Proposed project location boundary | 1 | Areas protected under international conventions, national or local legislation for their ecological, landscape, cultural or other related value | No | No protected area under international conventions ,national or local legislation for their ecological, landscape, cultural or other related value is falling, | 2 | Areas which are important or sensitive for ecological reasons - Wetlands, watercourses or other water bodies, coastal zone, biospheres, mountains, forests | No | The project is not affecting any ecological regions-Wetlands, watercourses or other water bodies, coastal zone, biospheres, mountain-forests. | 3 | Areas used by protected, important or sensitive species of flora or fauna for breeding, nesting, foraging, resting, over wintering, migration | No | The land area is not used by any important or sensitive flora or fauna species for breeding, nesting, foraging, resting, over wintering, migration.
