	==West Singhbhum drainage scenario==		==West Singhbhum drainage scenario==
	Singhbhum is drained by three river systems - [[Subarnarekha River\|Subarnarekha]], [[Baitarani River\|Baitarani]] and [[Brahmani River\|Brahmani]]. The watersheds of these three systems originate near [[Gamharia]] in the Kolhan and radiate north-west, south-west and east respectively from their common, centre. These watersheds divide the Subarnarekha and its feeders from the Baitarani and its tributaries, and the latter again from the South Karo and Deo rivers, which feed the Brahmani through the South Koel.		Singhbhum is drained by three river systems - [[Subarnarekha River\|Subarnarekha]], [[Baitarani River\|Baitarani]] and [[Brahmani River\|Brahmani]].

These watersheds divide the Subarnarekha and its feeders from the Baitarani and its tributaries, and the latter again from the South Karo and Deo rivers, which feed the Brahmani through the South Koel.

	The {{convert\|1.521\|km\|mi\|0}} long Saranda railway tunnel on the South Eastern Railway [[Howrah]] - [[Mumbai]] Main Line divides the Subarnarekha and Brahmani systems, and at this point the watershed leaves the Kolhan, continuing in a northerly direction through [[Porahat]] and finally merging in the Ranchi plateau between the Bicha and Tatkora hills. Of these three great rivers the Subarnarekha alone flows through the district. The Baitarani forms for about {{convert\|12\|km\|mi\|0}} the boundary between the Kolhan area and [[Kendujhar\|Keonjhar]] (in Odisha) while the Brahmani drains the west of the district through its tributary, the South Koel, and its feeders, the [[North Karo River\|North Karo]] and the [[South Karo River\|South Karo]], and the latter of which in its turn is fed by the [[Deo River\|Deo river]].<ref>{{cite web \|url = http://www.jharkhandforest.com/files/Chaibasa_Introduction.pdf \|title = The West Singhbhum District \|access-date = 2010-04-20 \|url-status = dead \|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110713104524/http://www.jharkhandforest.com/files/Chaibasa_Introduction.pdf \|archive-date = 2011-07-13 }}</ref>		The {{convert\|1.521\|km\|mi\|0}} long Saranda railway tunnel on the South Eastern Railway [[Howrah]] - [[Mumbai]] Main Line divides the Subarnarekha and Brahmani systems, and at this point the watershed leaves the Kolhan, continuing in a northerly direction through [[Porahat]] and finally merging in the Ranchi plateau between the Bicha and Tatkora hills.

	==Koel-Karo project==		==Koel-Karo project==
	The Koel-Karo project is located in the Ranchi and West Singbhum districts. The 710 MW power project involves the construction of two earth dams—one {{convert\|44\|m\|ft}} high, across the South Koel river near Basia, and the other {{convert\|55\|m\|ft}} high, across the North Karo river near Lohajima. The two dams will be linked by a trans-basin channel, with six units of 115 MW each in the underground powerhouse at Lumpu-ngkhel and one unit of 20 MW at Raitoli. About 120 villages are to be affected, displacing over one [[lakh]] (100,000) people. About {{convert\|22000\|ha\|acre}} of land will be submerged. Of the total land acquisition, {{convert\|12000\|ha\|acre}} are reported to be agricultural land, while {{convert\|10000\|ha\|acre}} comprise forests. Dispute arose over the compensation package for the displaced people and protests started in 1974 and have been continuing since then.<ref>{{cite web\|url = http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/node/5025 \| title =Koel Karo battles on \|publisher =India Environment Portal \|access-date = 2010-04-20 }}</ref> The project was finally shelved in 2003 ~~bowing~~ to protests.
