1. INTRODUCTION
The Students of DADI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY-Anakapalle has undertaken the Mission Amrit Sarovar by Ministry of Education –AICTE, which involves protection of water body and rejuvenation techniques. The water body allocated to DIET is the traditional water body in Shri. Chalukya Kumararama Bhimeswara temple, Samalkot under the mission launched by our Honorable Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi, which is Mission Amrit Sarovar - Jal Dharohar Sanrakshan. The team consists of Civil Engineering students of III B.Tech, under the guidance of Er.N.Ramu (INO).
Location of the water body: “Sree Bhimeswara temple pushkarini (koneru)” is located in the city of Kakinada district in Andhra Pradesh, India. The source is found adjacent to "Shri Chalukya Kumararama Bhimeswara temple". The Pushkarni situated between the Latitude (17°02’31’’ N), Longitude (82°10’19’’ E).
Location of water body situated at Latitude (17°02’31’’ N), Longitude (82°10’19’’ E).
It is located from 2 km distance from railway station. Samalkot by vehicle and the distance of 1.20 KM from railway station and bus complex of Samalkot by walk way.

Utilization of water body
1. The water is utilizing for abishakam and hand washes in the temple.
2. The bathing is carried out in the water by the pilgrims.
3 The water body is handed down for boating (Theppotsavam) at particular time, this process is used by the priests.
4. Pilgrims believe that the pushkarani water has a spiritual power of lord shiva, so they have to take the water to drink.
Assessment of water dependence to human settlement:
1. The present water in water body has not take over or depended by the villagers.
2. The water has been used for agriculture when release the water from outlet, it has been done at every six months.
3. Sometimes the water is cleaned by using dewatering techniques.

200+ (not good water)
08. Dissolved Oxygen test: - The total dissolved oxygen in the water sample is 4 ppm (or) mg/lit.
Range of dissolved oxygen in water is 6.5- 8.0 mg/lit
Different water tests conducted at laboratory

7. CONSERVATION OF CATCHMENT AREA
Hydraulic gates for inlet and outlet: Sluice gate" refers to a movable gate allowing water to flow under it. When a sluice is lowered, water may spill over the top, in which case the gate operates as a weir. Usually, a mechanism drives the sluice up or down. This may be a simple, hand-operated, chain pulled/lowered, worm drive or rack-and-pinion drive, or it may be electrically or hydraulically powered.
TYPE OF MATERIAL USED IN SLUICE GATE
•Aluminum
Most sluices are formed with Aluminum using a press brake to form a U shape
•Wood
Traditionally wood was the material of choice for sluice gates.
•Cast iron
Cast iron has been popular when constructing sluice gates for years. This material is great at keeping the strength needed when dealing with powerful water levels.
•Stainless steel
In most cases, stainless steel is lighter than the older cast iron material.
•Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP)
In modern times, newer materials such as fibre-reinforced plastic are being used to build sluices.
These modern technologies have many of the attributes of the older materials, while introducing advantages such as corrosion resistance and much lighter weights.
SLUICE GATE
Sluice (/slus/ SLOOS) is a word for a channel controlled at its head by a movable gate which is called a sluice gate. A sluice gate is traditionally a wood or metal barrier sliding in grooves that are set in the sides of the waterway and can be considered as a bottom opening in a wall. Sluice gates are one of the most common hydraulic structures in controlling flow rate and water level in open channels such as rivers and canals. They also could be used to measure the flow. A water channel containing a sluice gate forms a type of lock to manage the water flow and water level. It can also be an open channel which processes material, such as a River Sluice used in gold prospecting or fossicking. A mill race, leet, flume,
Penstock or lade is a sluice channeling water toward a water mill. The terms sluice, sluice gate, knife gate, and slide gate are used interchangeably in the water and wastewater control industry. They are also used in wastewater treatment plants and to recover minerals in mining operations, and in watermills
Approximate estimation for hydraulic gates
1. Hydraulic Sluice gate for inlet cost per unit – Rs.75000/-
2. Hydraulic Sluice gate for outlet cost per unit – Rs.75000/-
3. Construction of structure for fixing gates (approx) - Rs-150000/-
Total cost of providing gates aprox. –Rs. 3, 00,000/-

Ecological footpath is a specially equipped route passing through various ecological systems and other natural objects, architectural monuments having aesthetic, nature protection and historical value, on which walking (walking, tourists, etc.) receive oral (with the help of a guide) or written (stands, notices, etc.) information about these objects. Thus, both in its content and functions, the ecological footpath is a special object. It is designed to give the visitor new, interesting information about the natural or cultural environment for education in
