Project back on track after state water resources department assures water availability from Phulwaria dam reservoir The proposal to set up the first power plant in eastern India was mooted sometime back. But the project at Rajauli in Nawada district ran into trouble last year because of non-availability of water. With the state water resources department agreeing to provide 160 cusecs of water from the Phulwaria dam reservoir, the power project is back on track. The state proposes to generate 1,400 MW power from the plant. The agreement letter from the water resources department has been sent to the Central Water Commission for final approval, said officials. The letter says water would be made available for the project. The letter also promises to provide 12,785 cubic meter water per hour for the plant through combined sources. “We are awaiting final approval from the Central Water Commission to take the next step,” HR Pandey, spokesperson for Bihar State Power Holding Company Ltd (BSPHCL), said.
