DERJANG IRRIGATION PROJECT.
The Derjang Irrigation Project is a reservoir scheme constructed across river Ningara & Matalia near village Majhika in Angul Block. The catchment area is 399 Sq.Km at reservoir The main canal is 13.19 Km. having 33 nos. of minors & sub-minors.
Derjang Irrigation Project is a reservoir scheme and is the first Medium irrigation project of the State in the post independence era. The construction of the Project was started in 1960 and was completed during 1977-78. The project is situated in Angul district and located at Latitude 200 51’ 00”N & Longitude 850 21’ 00” E. The Dam is zoned type earth fill dam of length 1875m with maximum height of 27.31m built across the twin rivers Mathili and Lingara. These two rivers join together in the downstream of present dam site and ultimately fall into Brahmani river as its right tributary. There are two dykes on both sides of the dam continuous with it. Lengths of right and left dykes are 1830M and
1220M respectively. The spillway is a masonry gravity type of length 164.63m and with crest level at RL 144.78m. It has been provided with 6 Nos. of radial gates of 15.545m x 6.096m . There is one head regulator with one vent (2.43m x 1.82m) on left side of the dam with design discharge of 8.33 m3/sec. The sill level is at RL 135.64m. The ayacut has been developed in two stages- In stage-I for 5951 ha. and in Stage-II for 1441 ha. totaling to 7392 ha. Catchment area at dam site is 339.00 km2 and is approximately fan shaped. The inflow peak as approved by DSRP is 3973 m3/sec .
