Foreword by DLIC

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) is a national mission to improve farm productivity and

ensure better utilization of the resources in the country. The primary objectives of PMKSY are to attract

investment in irrigation system at field level, develop and expand cultivable land in the country enhance rain

water use in order to minimize wastage of water, enhance crop per drop by implementing water – saving

technologies and precision irrigation. The plan additionally calls for bringing ministries, offices,

organizations, research and financial institutions occupied with creation and recycling of water under one

platform so that an exhaustive and holistic outlook of the whole water cycle is considered. The goal is to

open the doors for optimal water budgeting in all the sectors.

In order to achieve the objectives, the District Irrigation Plan of East Garo Hills district, Meghalaya is

prepared by District level Implementation Committee consisting of various Departments and NABCONS

after thoroughly studying the scenario of the district. I wish to thank all the members of DLIC, NABCONS

and all other officers/ officials of all the line departments for preparation of District Irrigation Plan and wish

them good luck for its better implementation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In an agrarian economy like India, agriculture utilizes the major share of country’s exploitable water

resources. Though the sector utilizes the maximum share of exploitable water resources, availability of the

same at different locations to different extents makes it vital to adopt effective utilization of water through

storage, channelizing and judicial use. At some places like Punjab and Haryana, the environmental and

socio-economic rationale for this capture by the sector is now being questioned. Accordingly, it is needed to

challenge and change the fundamentals of the prevailing view of water resources exploitation. A new and

more suitable approach to water resources allocation is necessary if the population is to be adequately fed,

without further degradation and destruction of the critical ecosystem services. Water productivity needs to

be enhanced considerably, and economic cost-benefit analysis and pricing regimes can play a significant

role in such a process. However, these economic measures will not be sufficient on their own. They will

need to be buttressed by technological innovation and institutional changes in order to encourage a more

equitable distribution of resources and to mitigate potential international conflicts across 'shared' water

basins.

Water has unique characteristics that determine both its allocation and use as a resource by agriculture.

Agricultural use of water for irrigation is itself contingent on land resources. In a situation of growing water

scarcity and rising demands for non-agricultural (household and industrial) use of water, reassessment of

sectoral allocations of water are inevitable. In developing countries, irrigated agriculture plays a vital role in

contributing towards domestic food security and poverty alleviation. Therefore, achievement of these

objectives is dependent on adequate allocations of water to agriculture. Justification of such allocations

requires that irrigated agriculture be a cost-effective means of achieving stated political or social objectives,

such as food security or poverty alleviation, and that all externalities be taken into account in the pricing

mechanism. Improved allocation of irrigation water is required within the agriculture sectors in order to

achieve greater efficiency in the use of irrigation water and existing irrigation infrastructure. Reallocation is

alsorequired in order to reduce water logging and salinization of irrigated land, to decrease the negative

environmental impacts and other externalities of irrigation (caused by over extraction of groundwater and

depletion and pollution of surface water).

Government of India launched Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) to address the

constraints in providing assured irrigation as well as increasing efficiency and productivity of current water

use to bring more prosperity to the rural areas. Priorities of Government of India were reflected in the

Hon’ble President’s address to the joint Session of the Parliament of 16th Lok Sabha where he indicated

that “Each drop of water is precious. Government is committed to giving high priority to water security. It will

complete the long pending irrigation projects on priority and launch the ‘Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee

Yojana’ with the motto of ‘Har Khet Ko Pani’. There is a need for seriously considering all options including

linking of rivers, where feasible; for ensuring optimal use of our water resources to prevent the recurrence of

floods and drought. By harnessing rain water through ‘Jal Sanchay’ and ‘Jal Sinchan’, we will nurture water

conservation and groundwater recharge. Micro irrigation will be popularized to ensure ‘Per Drop-More

Crop”.

PMKSY has been approved with an indicative outlay of Rs.50, 000 crore over a period of five years from

2015-16 to 2019-20. The programme is an amalgamation of on-going schemes of Ministry of Water

Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Agriculture & Cooperation and Ministry

of Rural Development. The existing schemes AIBP, CADWM, MI, SWMA, and Watershed & Convergence

with MGNREGA were brought together under the umbrella program of PMKSY. Further the scheme seeks

convergence with scheme like Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme

(MGNREGS), Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and Rural

Electrification programmes (JLNNSM&REP), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF), Members of

Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD), Members of Legislative Assembly Local Area

Development Fund (MLALAD), Local Body Funds (LBF), Working Plan of State Forest Department

(WPSFD) etc. The PMKSY will be implemented in an area development mode only by adopting a

decentralized state level planning and projected execution structure that will allow the state to draw up their

own irrigation development plans based on DIPs and SIPs with a horizon of 5-7 years. The program will be

supervised and coordinated utilizing the existing mechanism and structure available under Rashtriya Krishi

Vikas Yojana (RKVY) program with State Agriculture Department acting as the State Nodal Agency for

implementation of PMKSY. However, the implementing Departments for the four components like AIBP,

PMKSY (Har Khet Ko Pani), PMKSY (Per Drop More Crop) and PMKSY (watershed development) will be

decided by the respective program ministry/department.

The five chapters along with introduction chapter, explains the profile of district, its water requirement for

agriculture and allied sector, water availability, assessment of water requirement for various sectors and

strategic action plan for augmentation and effective management of available water resources.

District Demography:

As per 2011 census, the population of the district is 1,61,926 (including institutional and houseless population,

excluding population in the age group 0 - 6) out of which male population is 82,399 and female population is

79,527. With a population density of 122 person per square kilometer, East Garo Hills is relatively denser

compared to the population density of the state (132 person per square kilometer). There are 29,724

households in the district as per census 2011.

Demand for water and the gap:

The water budget of the district is prepared for the district for 2015-16 to 2020-21. The present water

availability/demand and also for 2020-21 are worked out and the water gap is found out. The water budget

clearly shows the water gap of 622.7 MCM in present and of 623.91 MCM in future between the water

availability and requirement.

PMKSY Financial Proposal:

Total plan of East Garo Hills district for four years works out to be Rs. 12214.9835 lakh. Maximum share of

Rs. 8430.639 lakhs (69%) is for Water Resources department followed by Soil Conservation department,

Agriculture department department with Rs. 3532.99 lakhs (29%), Rs. 251.3545 lakhs (2%) respectively.

INTRODUCTION

Background

Preparation of decentralized area specific district planning process visualized in various plans took

concrete shape through the years and initiatives like specific guidelines on methodologies and processes

for preparation of district plans; framework for preparation of perspective plan, medium term and annual

plans by then planning commission in 1969 and the 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments conferring

constitutional status to Panchayats at district and sub district level; local self-government in urban areas;

constitution of district planning committee to consolidate the plans prepared at Panchayats and

municipalities and prepare a draft development plan for the whole district.

The decentralized planning process was further strengthened through emphasis by planning commission

on preparation of district level plans and making it an integral part of the process of preparation of the

state’s 11th five year plan. The Planning commission issued guidelines in August 2006 for preparation of the

district plans. The guidelines define the District Planning as ‘the process of preparing an integrated plan for

the local government sector in a district taking into account the resources (natural, human and financial)

available and covering the sectoral activities and schemes assigned to the district level and below and

those implemented through local governments in a state. The document that embodies this statement of

resources and their allocation for various purposes is known as the District Plan”.

Government of India through a resolution in National Development Council on 29th May 2007 conceived a

special Additional Central Assistance Scheme (ACAS) to address the slow growth of agriculture and allied

sectors by incentivizing states to draw up plans for their agriculture sectors more comprehensively. The

NDC resolution states "GoI will introduce a new Additional Central Assistance Scheme to incentivize states

to draw up plans for their agriculture sector more comprehensively, taking agro-climatic conditions, natural

resource issues and technology into account, and integrating livestock, poultry and fisheries, etc. This will

involve a new scheme for Additional Central Assistance (ACA) to State Plans, administered by the Union

Ministry of Agriculture over and above its existing Centrally Sponsored Schemes, to supplement the State-

specific strategies including special schemes for beneficiaries of land reforms. The newly created National

Rainfed Area Authority will, on request, assist States in planning for rainfed areas".

The NDC in its resolution advised the states to prepare a comprehensive district agriculture plans (C-DAP)

that will fully utilize available resources and will include allied agriculture sectors. Further, GOI issued a

manual on preparation of comprehensive district agriculture plans to help the states prepare C-DAP. As per

these guidelines, the objective of district planning is ‘to design an integrated and participatory action plan

for the development of local area in general and agriculture and allied sectors in particular’. The objectives

of Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) are:

To prepare a Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) through participatory process

involving various organisations and stakeholders.

To enable optimum utilisation of scarce natural, physical & financial resources.

To assess and plan for the infrastructure required to support the agriculture development.

To establish linkages with the required institutional support services, like credit, technology

transfer, ICT, research etc.

To evolve an action plan for achieving sustainable agricultural growth with food security and

cropping system that will improve farmers’ income.

The guidelines required the state/district authorities to (i) ensure that the agricultural plans are prepared for

the district and then integrated into the agricultural plans of the State based on the agro-climatic conditions,

availability of technology, trained manpower and natural resources; (ii) local needs / crops / feed and

fodder / animal husbandry / dairying / fisheries / priorities are reflected in the plan; (iii) productivity gaps for

important crops and livestock and fisheries are reduced; and (iv) the returns to the farmers from these are

maximized.

The latest move in the process of strengthening of decentralized planning process was the Government of

India guidelines issued in 2015 in the form of a template for the preparation of District Irrigation Plan (DIP)

and State Irrigation Plan (SIP) as part of the Pradhan MantriKrishiSinchayeeYojana (PMKSY) program and

made the preparation of DIP and SIP mandatory for the states to receive funds from the program. The

present report is a product of these long drawn efforts of Government of India to strengthen the

decentralized planning process in the country focusing on the vital resource i.e., water.

Water is of vital importance for human & animal life, maintenance of ecological balance and promotion of

developmental activities. Considering its vital importance and ever increasing demand for water, in the face

of population growth, urbanization & industrialization and considerations of climatic change, making water,

an increasingly a scarce resource, available to multiple uses, planning and management of this vital

resources, utilization of water economically, optimally and equitably assumes greater importance.

According to the 12th Five year Plan the water budget estimates of India by Ministry of Water Resources

suggests an availability of 1123 billion cubic meters (BCM) against a current estimated demand of 710

BCM. The Standing Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources estimates that this water demand will

rise to 1093 BCM by 2025. Though the existing water availability in the immediate future seems to be

adequate, with the near constant supply of water resources in the face of increasing demand on account of

population growth, urbanisation and industrialization will strain the water supply-demand balance.

The per capita water availability which stood at 5,177 cubic meters in 1951 was reduced to 1820 cubic

meters in 2001 while the international prescribed limit is 1800 cubic meters. The projected per capita

availability of water is 1341 cubic meters in 2025 and 1140 cubic meters in 2050 suggesting shortage of

water in the medium term1. Further, the all India water balance estimates does not reflect the variations in

water balance across time and space- certain areas having a positive water balance and the others facing

acute shortage. The problem is further accentuated by water quality related issues.

With the abundant surface and ground water supply in the first five decades since independence, more

than 80 percent of the total available water resources were allocated for irrigation purposes and the rest

meeting the domestic and industrial demands. In a recent studyon the demand for water from agriculture, 1Ministry of Water Resources (2011), Strategic Plan for Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India, New

Delhi.

domestic and industrial uses in 2000, 2025 and 2050 seems to suggest that domestic demand (34 BCM in

2000, 66 BCM in 2025 and 101 BCM in 2050) and industrial demand (42 BCM in 2000, 92 BCM in 2025

and 161 BCM in 2050) for water will utilize the total balance water available while agriculture demand for

water will be (605 BCM in 2000, 675 BCM in 2025 and 637 BCM in 2050). This change is partly because

of the changing sectoral contributions of India’s GDP and also partly because of dynamics of irrigation

development in the country where the initial expansion in area under irrigation is propelled by the

availability of abundant water resources and availability of good quality land. This is no longer the case in

many of the states where the availability of land and water are serious constraints for further expansion of

irrigation. Further, as per the erstwhile planning commission up to March 2012 out of 141 million hectares

of net sown area in the country 114 (or 81%) million hectares is Irrigation Potential Created (IPC) and 88

(or 62%) million hectares is Irrigation Potential Utilised (IPU) leaving almost 20% of irrigated potential

unutilized. This leaves 40 percent of the net sown area in the country dependent on rainfall which makes

farming a high risk and less productive.

The competing demands for water resources and the emerging issues and concerns were to be addressed

through certain basic principles and commonality in approaches in dealing with planning, development and

management of water resources2 under an Integrated Water Resource Management framework. The main

objectives of water resource management as delineated in National Water Policy 2012 are:

a) Planning, development and management of water resources need to be governed by common

integrated perspective considering local, regional, State and national context, having an

environmentally sound basis, keeping in view the human, social and economic needs.

b) Principle of equity and social justice must inform use and allocation of water.

c) Good governance through transparent informed decision making is crucial to the objectives of

equity, social justice and sustainability. Meaningful intensive participation, transparency and

accountability should guide decision making and regulation of water resources.

d) Water needs to be managed as a common pool community resource held, by the state, under

public trust doctrine to achieve food security, support livelihood, and ensure equitable and

sustainable development for all.

e) Water is essential for sustenance of eco-system, and therefore, minimum ecological needs

should be given due consideration.

f) Safe Water for drinking and sanitation should be considered as pre-emptive needs, followed by

high priority allocation for other basic domestic needs (including needs of animals), achieving

food security, supporting sustenance agriculture and minimum eco-system needs. Available

water, after meeting the above needs, should be allocated in a manner to promote its

conservation and efficient use.

g) All the elements of the water cycle, i.e., evapo-transpiration, precipitation, runoff, river, lakes, soil

moisture, and ground water, sea, etc., are interdependent and the basic hydrological unit is the

river basin, which should be considered as the basic hydrological unit for planning.

h) Given the limits on enhancing the availability of utilizable water resources and increased

variability in supplies due to climate change, meeting the future needs will depend more on

demand management, and hence, this needs to be given priority, especially through (a) evolving

an agricultural system which economizes on water use and maximizes value from water, and (b)

bringing in maximum efficiency in use of water and avoiding wastages.

i) Water quality and quantity are interlinked and need to be managed in an integrated manner,

consistent with broader environmental management approaches inter-alia including the use of

economic incentives and penalties to reduce pollution and wastage.

j) The impact of climate change on water resources availability must be factored into water

management related decisions. Water using activities need to be regulated keeping in mind the

local geo climatic and hydrological situation.

Government of India launched Pradhan MantriKrishiSinchayeeYojana (PMKSY) to address the constraints

in providing assured irrigation as well as increasing efficiency and productivity of current water use to bring

more prosperity to the rural areas. Priorities of Government of India were reflected in the Hon’ble

President’s address to the joint Session of the Parliament of 16thLok Sabha where he indicated that “Each

Micro irrigation will be popularised to ensure ‘Per drop-More crop”.

PMKSY has been approved with an indicative outlay of Rs.50,000 crore over a period of five years from

2015-16 to 2019-20. The programme is an amalgamation of on-going schemes of Ministry of Water

The funds under this program would be provided to the states as per the pattern of assistance of Centrally

Sponsored Schemes (CSS) decided by the Ministry of Finance and NITI Aayog. During 2015-16 the

existing pattern of assistance of ongoing scheme was continued. An outlay of Rs. 50,000 crore has been

approved for 2015-20. The financial assistance provided to the state governments from this centrally

sponsored scheme is subject to fulfillment of certain conditions.Firstly, a state will become eligible to

access PMKSY fund only if it has prepared the District Irrigation Plans (DIP) and State Irrigation Plan (SIP),

excepting for the initial year, and the expenditure in water resource development for agriculture sector in

the year under consideration is not less than the baseline expenditure, which is defined as the average of

the expenditure in irrigation sector irrespective of the department in the state plan in three years prior to the

year under consideration. Secondly, States will be given additional weightage for levying charges on water

and electricity for irrigation purposes, so as to ensure sustainability of the programme. Thirdly, interstate

allocation of PMKSY fund will be decided based on

Share of percentage of unirrigated area in the state vis-à-vis national average including

prominence of areas classified under Desert Development Programme (DDP) and Drought Prone

Area Development Programme (DPAP)

Increase in percentage share of expenditure on water resource development for agriculture

sector in State Plan expenditure in the previous year over three years prior to it and

Improvement in irrigation efficiency in the state.

Vision

The overreaching vision of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) will be to ensure access to

some means of protective irrigation to all agricultural farms in the country, to produce ‘per drop more crop’,

thus bringing much desired rural prosperity.

Objective

The objectives of the PMKSY are to:

a) Achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level (preparation of district level and,

if required, sub district level water use plans).

b) Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area under assured

irrigation (HarKhetkoPani),

c) Integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use, to make best use of water through

appropriate technologies and practices.

d) Improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage and increase availability both in duration

and extent,

e) Enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving technologies (More crop per

drop).

f) Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices

g) Ensure the integrated development of rainfed areas using the watershed approach towards soil

and water conservation, regeneration of ground water, arresting runoff, providing livelihood

options and other NRM activities.

h) Promote extension activities relating to water harvesting, water management and crop alignment

for farmers and grass root level field functionaries.

i) Explore the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for peri-urban agriculture, and

j) Attract greater private investments in irrigation.

Strategy/approach

To achieve these objectives PMKSY adopted strategies that include

a) Creation of new water sources; repair, restoration and renovation of defunct water sources;

construction of water harvesting structures, secondary & micro storage, groundwater

development, enhancing potentials of traditional water bodies at village level like Jal Mandir

(Gujarat); Khatri, Kuhl (H.P.); Zabo (Nagaland); Eri, Ooranis (T.N.); Dongs (Assam); Katas,

Bandhas (Odisha and M.P.) etc.

b) Developing/augmenting distribution network where irrigation sources (both assured and

protective) are available or created;

c) Promotion of scientific moisture conservation and run off control measures to improve ground

water recharge so as to create opportunities for farmers to access recharged water through

shallow tube/dug wells;

d) Promoting efficient water conveyance and field application devices within the farm viz,

underground piping system, Drip & Sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns and other application devices

etc.;

e) Encouraging community irrigation through registered user groups/farmer producers’

organisations/NGOs; and

f) Farmer oriented activities like capacity building, training and exposure visits, demonstrations,

farm schools, skill development in efficient water and crop management practices (crop

alignment) including large scale awareness on more crop per drop of water through mass media

campaign, exhibitions, field days, and extension activities through short animation films etc.

Programme Components

PMKSY has following four components:

1. Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP): to focus on faster completion of ongoing

Major and Medium Irrigation including National Projects.

2. PMKSY (HarKhetkoPani): This component focuses on-

a) Creation of new water sources through Minor Irrigation (both surface and ground water)

b) Repair, restoration and renovation of water bodies; strengthening carrying capacity of traditional

water sources, construction rain water harvesting structures (Jal Sanchay);

c) Command area development, strengthening and creation of distribution network from source to

the farm;

d) Ground water development in the areas where it is abundant, so that sink is created to store

runoff/ flood water during peak rainy season.

e) Improvement in water management and distribution system for water bodies to take advantage of

the available source which is not tapped to its fullest capacity (deriving benefits from low hanging

fruits). At least 10% of the command area to be covered under micro/precision irrigation.

f) Diversion of water from source of different location where it is plenty to nearby water scarce

areas, lift irrigation from water bodies/rivers at lower elevation to supplement requirements

beyond IWMP and MGNREGS irrespective of irrigation command.

g) Creating and rejuvenating traditional water storage systems like Khatri, Kuhl etc. at feasible

locations.

3. PMKSY (Per Drop More Crop):

a) Programme management, preparation of State/District Irrigation Plan, approval of annual action

plan, Monitoring etc.

b) Promoting efficient water conveyance and precision water application devices like drips,

sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns in the farm (Jal Sinchan);

c) Topping up of input cost particularly under civil construction beyond permissible limit (40%),

under MGNREGS for activities like lining inlet, outlet, silt traps, distribution system etc.

d) Construction of micro irrigation structures to supplement source creation activities including tube

wells and dug wells (in areas where ground water is available and not under semi critical/ critical/

over exploited category of development) which are not supported under AIBP, PMKSY

(HarKhetkoPani), PMKSY (Watershed) and MGNREGS as per Taluka/district irrigation plan.

e) Secondary storage structures at tail end of canal system to store water when available in

abundance (rainy season) or from perennial sources like streams for use during dry periods

through effective on-farm water management;

f) Water lifting devices like diesel/ electric/ solar pumpsets including water carriage pipes,

underground piping system.

g) Extension activities for promotion of scientific moisture conservation and agronomic measures

including cropping alignment to maximise use of available water including rainfall and minimise

irrigation requirement (Jal Sarankchan);

h) Capacity building, training and awareness campaign including low cost publications, use of pico

projectors and low cost films for encouraging potential use water source through technological,

agronomic and management practices including community irrigation.

i) The extension workers will be empowered to disseminate relevant technologies under PMKSY

only after requisite training is provided to them especially in the area of promotion of scientific

moisture conservation and agronomic measures, improved/ innovative distribution system like

pipe and box outlet system, etc. Appropriate Domain Experts will act as Master Trainers.

j) Information Communication Technology (ICT) interventions through NeGP-A to be made use in

the field of water use efficiency, precision irrigation technologies, on farm water management,

crop alignment etc. and also to do intensive monitoring of the Scheme.

4. PMKSY (Watershed Development):

a) Effective management of runoff water and improved soil & moisture conservation activities such

as ridge area treatment, drainage line treatment, rain water harvesting, in-situ moisture

conservation and other allied activities on watershed basis.

b) Converging with MGNREGS for creation of water source to full potential in identified backward

rainfedTalukas including renovation of traditional water bodies

Rationale/ Justification

In reference to the status and need of irrigation, the water resource management including irrigation related

priorities was identified for East Garo Hills district by the peoples’ representatives of district with support

from administration and technical experts. For instance the reports of Strategic Research and Extension

Plan (SREP) prepared under ATMA program, Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) prepared

as part of Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), Potential Linked Credit Plans (PLP) of NABARD and the

Integrated District Development Plan etc. identified number of irrigation related issues for East Garo Hills

district including (i) creating irrigation potential through water harvesting structure, Nalla and Check Bundh,

Percolation and Recharge tanks (ii) promoting water use efficiency through sprinkler and drip irrigation; (iii)

promoting protected polyhouse cultivation to minimize risk factors and enhance quality and productivity; (iv)

Improvement of on-farm water delivery and efficiency of existing irrigation systems; (v) promotion of soil

conservation of arable & non-arable land through engineering measures; (vi) increase the forest cover in

the district and (vii) land improvement measures.

Methodology

During the course of preparation of District Irrigation Plan (DIP) the team visited the district to collect data

and have interaction with all the stakeholders. Methodology adopted to prepare DIP is outlined in brief as

under:

a) Collection of primary and secondary data from field from various sources including published

documents and websites.

b) Various meetings were held to obtain ground level realities and data from key

personnel/stakeholders through structured, unstructured interviews, focused group discussions

etc.

c) Meetings with State Government departments and related institutions were held

d) Meeting was also held with State Level authorities.

e) GIS maps of the areas/clusters were studied to understand the land morphology, topography of

the district.

f) Focused group discussions and interaction with agriculture officers, horticulture officers, soil

conservation officers, extension officers, rural development department, animal husbandry

department, irrigation officers both at Talukas anddistrict level for identifying the key issues and

focus areas of the region.

g) Discussion with NABARD officer of the district was also held during the visit.

On the basis of detailed discussion and analysis of data, the team arrived at the projections of various

components of PMKSY and Department wise plan for four years from 2016-17 to 2019-20 as detailed in the

plan.

Chapter 1

General Information of the District

1.1 District Profile

The district was formed in 1976, after the erstwhile Garo Hills district of Meghalaya was re-organised with a

view to bring the administration closer to the people. The district headquarters-complex of the district,

christened as Williamnagar after the name of Captain ‘Williamson A. Sangma’ the founder Chief Minister

of the State of Meghalaya. Williamnagar is located on the vast plainlands along the bank of the ‘Simsang

River’, at Simsanggre. These plainlands are in a sense historical, as it was here that the Garos made their

last major resistance to the British intrusion into Garo Hills during the year 1837. The legendary Garo

leader Pa Togan Nengminja Sangma was felled by the British, in skirmish, at Chisobibra, quite close to

Wiliamnagar, on 12 December 1837. It is located at the Latitude of 25.5672° Nand Longitude of 90.5258°

1.3 Biomass and Livestock

Livestock is the integral part of the mixed-farming system that characterizes agriculture. Besides

contributing to food and crop production, livestock and poultry are as important as savings. For many poor

households, livestock is a daily source of earning and is an insurance against adversity. Next to Agriculture

and Horticulture, Livestock rearing is an important enterprise of the district. Cows, buffaloes, draft animals,

goats, pigs, poultry are main commodities of livestock enterprise. Cross breed cows, improved breed

buffaloes and upgraded pigs in small numbers are also reared in almost all the blocks of the district. Mostly

the local breeds are common. The total population as per block-wise of small animals (poultry, ducks, pigs,

goats and sheeps), large animals (indigenous cows, hybrid cows, indesciptive buffalo, hybrid buffalo), milch or

meat animals including the draft animals (Buffalos/yak/bulls etc) are collectively presented in Table no. 1-3.

1.5: Soil Profile:

Soil is one of the most important components of land through which an interaction of all natural factors is

possible. The district shows different types of soils as the provenance differs widely. Broadly, there are

divided into following major soil sub-orders, i). Lateritic soil: It is found in the northern parts of the district.

They are characterized by reddish brown colour and rich in iron. ii). Red - Loamy soil and Red and Yellow

soil: These soil is the most prevalent one covering the middle and southern part of the district. Red – loamy

soil is found in parts of Rongjeng and Songsak and Red and Yellow soil is found in Samanda and

Williamnagar areas. These soil are acidic in character with pH ranging from 4.9 to 5.6. However, details

received from the District Department are presented below in the table 1.5:-

Chapter 2

District Water Profile

Water is vital for survival of both plants and animals. It is the central component of the planet Earth

controlling the weather, climate, plant and animal kingdom. It supports agriculture, forestry, navigation,

industries and hydroelectricity generation and other uses such as for recreation, water sports activities etc.

The importance of water has been recognized all over the world. Water resource development and

management practices are given top priorities all over the world to avoid the water crisis in future. This

chapter outlines the different type of crops, productivity and irrigation status of the East Garo Hills district

2.1 Area wise, Crop wise Irrigation Status:

The economy of the district centres on agriculture and piggery and paddy is the predominant commodity

that is cultivated. The district receives around 2897.09 mm rainfall annually, with a major share during the

four months of monsoon (June-September). However, due to lack of proper and sufficient water harvesting

structures, the crops grown under different seasons has to rely on the mercy of rain to realize a good

harvest. The crop wise irrigated and rainfed area sown in different seasons like Kharif, Rabi and Summer in

the district for each block is given in the table 2.1 (a), (b) and (c) below:-

2.2 Production & Productivity of East Hills District

Majority of total population in East Garo Hills district are hilly tribal and they practice agriculture along with

poultry and piggery mostly for subsistence level. Total geographical area of the district is 171500 Ha and of

which 24138 Ha is only cultivable land. Gross irrigated area 21968 Ha. The soils are very rich in organic

matter indicating potential to go for organic farming under proper management practices. Other than rice

and maize, horticultural crops and other seasonal vegetables have tremendous production potentials and

their qualities can compete with world class standards. As those are grown mostly on the hill slopes, they

need irrigation support during the critical stages to ensure optimum quality and productivity to meet the

demand locally as well as outside the state. The crop-wise production and productivity of different types of

crops are given in the table 2.3 below.

CHAPTER 3

WATER AVAILABILITY Water availability is an important issue for ascertaining the demand of water for domestic, livestock, irrigation,

industrial and power generation projects. The water availability depends on topography, climatic conditions,

rainfall, soil profile, infiltration rate, run off and human activities over the catchment area. The changes in the

water levels of the surface source are mainly because of the variations in the inflow from the upper catchments.

The fluctuations constitute a sensitive indicator of past and present climate and human activities at a local and

regional scale. In the hydrological point of view, the entire East West Garo Hills district falls under the

Brahmaputra basin.

3.1 Status of Water Availability

For creating access to water source either assured or protective to each farmer will require a demand and

supply assessment of crop water requirements, effective rainfall and potential source of existing and new water

sources considering the geo-hydrological and agro ecological scenario of the block. The master plan will include

information on all sources of available water, distribution network, defunct water bodies, new potential water

sources both surface and sub surface system, application to conveyance provisions, crops and cropping system

aligned to available/designed quantity of water and suitability to local agro ecology. All activities pertaining to

water harvesting, water augmentation from surface ad sub surface sources, distribution and application of water

including repair, renovation and restoration of water bodies, major, medium and minor irrigation works,

command area development etc. are to be taken up within the frame work of this muster plan. Emphasis is to be

given for deriving the potential benefit from low hanging fruits like extending the reach/coverage of water source

through effective distribution and application mechanism, reducing the gap between potential created and

utilized through more focus on command area development and precision irrigation. Proper integration of

creation of diversion head work and water harvesting structures, distribution system like canals and command

area development works and precision farming is to be made for best possible use of water resources.

3.2 Status of Ground Water Availability

As per Central ground water resource board, major part of the district is covered by hills of consolidated rocks. In the

absence of any ground water structure at present in the mountainous areas, springs constitutes an important source

of water supply. However, mostly the springs are choked due to dirt, orare covered with vegetation. It is worthwhile to

develop these springs. The foothill zone is suitable for the development of ground water through structures like dug

wells, hand pumps and shallow tube wells the piedmont zone is suitable for dug wells, generally 15m deep. The

younger alluvium is suitable for all the shallowground water structures. Dug wells down with depth of 10 to 20m

having diameter 2 to 3 m are expected to yield 12 to 15 m3/day. Shallow tube wells with depth of 25 m are likely to

yield 30 to 35m3/hr.Towards the southern part of the district, bordering Assam, the depth of alluvium increases and

deep tube wells down to 150m may be constructed in this area. Expected yield is 40 to 60 m3/hr.

CHAPTER 4

Water Demand / Requirement

The earlier chapters dealt with the general profile, water profile and water availabilityof East Garo Hills

district. The present chapter deals with the current (2016) and projected (2020) demand of water for various

sectors. The demand for water has been assessed on the basis of data obtained from different

departments.

The foregoing Chapters deal with the General Profile, Water Profile and Water Availability of East Garo

Hills District. The present chapter deals with the current (2015) and projected (2020) demand of water for

various sectors. The demand for water has been assessed on the basis of data obtained from different

departments.

4.1 Domestic Water Demand

This includes the water requirement in private buildings for drinking, cooking, bathing, lawn sprinkling,

gardening, sanitary purposes etc. The amount of domestic water consumption per person shall vary

according to the living conditions of the consumers. On an average, this domestic consumption under

normal conditions in Indian city is expected to be around 135 litres/day/person as per IS: 1172-1971. In a

developed and an effluent country like USA, this figure goes as high as 340 litres/day/person. This is

because more water is consumed in rich living, air cooling/conditioning, automatic household appliances,

car washing etc. The total domestic consumption generally amounts to 55% to 60% of the total water

consumption.

The total domestic water demand shall be equal to the total design population multiplied by the per capita

domestic consumption i.e. 140 litre/day. As the last population census was made in 2011, the actual

population of the district in 2015 is not readily available. Considering the population of the East Garo Hills

district as per Census, 2011 the projected population in 2020 is worked out assuming the last decadal

growth of 25.84% and annual exponential growth rate of 2.58% to apply for the period 2011-2020 (9 years).

The domestic water demand is given in the table below.

4.2 Crop water Requirement:

Water requirement of a crop means the total quantity and the way in which a crop requires water, from the

time it is sawn to the time it is harvested (crop period). Different crops will have different water requirements

and the same crop may have different water requirements at different places of the same country

depending upon the climate, type of soil, method of cultivation and useful rainfall etc. The total quantity of

water required by the crop for its full growth may be expressed in Hectare-m or in Million Cubic meter or

simply as a depth to which the total supplied irrigation water would stand above the surface without

percolation or evaporation. This depth is known as delta for the crop. On the other hand duty is defined as

the area irrigated per cumec of discharge running for the base period. The duty helps us in designing the

efficient canal irrigation system. If we know the crops area required to be irrigated and their duties, we can

work out the discharge required for designing the canal.

Consumptive use for a particular crop may be defined as the total amount of water used by the plant in

transpiration (building of plant tissues etc.) and evaporation from adjacent soils or from plant leaves, in any

specified time. Therefore, crop water requirements are defined as “the depth of water needed to meet the

water loss through evapo-transpiration of a disease free crop, growing in large fields under non restricting

soil conditions including soil water and fertility and achieving full production under the given growing

environment. Consumptive use for a particular crop may be defined as the total amount of water used by

the plant in transpiration (building of plant tissues etc.) and evaporation from adjacent soils or from plant

leaves, in any specified time. Thus crop water requirement is nothing but the consumptive use itself, but

exclusive of effective precipitation, stored soil moisture or ground water. Consumptive use or

evapotranspiration depends upon all those factors on which evaporation and transpiration depend such as,

temperature, sunlight, wind movement etc. The crop water requirement of different bocks in the East Garo

Hills district has been worked out and a statement is prepared as shown in table 4.2 below which outlines

the required and available water potential in the district.

4.3 Livestock water Demand:

The livestock water demand of the district is determined by multiplying the total livestock population in the

district by the per capita water requirement (litres/day/No) for each category of the population. As per

livestock census of 2003 & 2007 considering the existing population recorded as a base year, the total

projected livestock population in 2020 may be worked out and accordingly the livestock water demand is

worked out. The livestock water demand is given in the table below.

4.4 Industrial Water Requirement

This includes the quantity of water required to be supplied to offices, factories, different industries, hostels,

hospitals etc. This quantity will vary considerably with the nature of city and with the type of industries and

commercial establishments present in it. On an average, a provision of 20-25% of the total water consumption is

generally made in the design for these uses. In small residential communities, the industrial use may be as low

as 45 /litre/day, but in industrial cities, it may be as high as 450 litres/day. Some of the industries may develop

their own supplies and may place little or no demand on municipal system. Zoning of the city affects the location

of the industries and may help in estimating future industrial demands. The industrial water demand for East

Garo Hills district is given in table below:-

4.5 Water demand for Power generation:

Presently there is no any power plant in the East Garo Hills district; however in the years to come i.e. up to the

year 2020, there are plans to tap water resources for power generation. Hence water demand for power

generation is taken as nil for present but the same for 2020 is as shown in the table below.

Chapter 5

STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN The vision of the scheme PMKSY is to ensure access to some means of protective irrigation to all

agricultural farms in the country, to increase water use efficiency by its ‘per drop more crop’ subcomponent,

thus bringing much desired rural prosperity. The need of the hour is to have well managed watershed

resources which not only enhances the ecological resource base of a rural economy but will also create

sustainable livelihood opportunity.

At present, the schemes implemented by all the departments are broadlybased and are required to be

specific and location/ problem based. A systematic integrated approach having full participation of the users

in the planning process is the need of the hour and extension facilitation should be inter-disciplinary. On the

basis of methodology described above, a strategic plan forFiveyears has been prepared starting from 2016-

17 to 2019-21.

The schemes have been prepared by the proper consultation with the actual beneficiaries. The plan in brief

is detailed below.

5.1 Block wise total plan of the district

The total outlay of the district Irrigation Plan for a period of 4years is about Rs. 12214.9835 lakh distributed

among the 03 blocks as given in the table 5.1 below. The Dambo-Rongjeng block has the maximum share

of total outlay and constitutes about 40% followed by Samanda block with 34% and Songsak block with

26% as well. Table 5.1: Block-wise total Outlay of the District (Amount in Rs. Lakhs)

5.4 Suggestions

For successful implementation of PMKSY plan it is suggested that:

All the stakeholders should convene meeting of Panchayat Samities and then finalize the village

plan and prepare DPR.

There should not be any duplicity of project.

The Department should supplement each other so that the maximum irrigation efficiency is

achieved.

Agriculture and Horticulture Department should take micro irrigation projects in the command of

minor irrigation projects which are either completed or likely to be completed in near future.

All the irrigation projects should have a component of water conveyance so that the each drop of

water is judiciously utilized.

Where ever feasible, solar pumpsets should be installed.

All the structures planned should be geo tagged and marked on map, so that social monitoring of

the projects can be conducted. This will also avoid the duplicity.

Priority should be given to projects to minimize the gap in potential created and potential utilized.

Wherever sites with low head LIS have already been exhausted, higher per hectare norms should

be allowed.

Execution of the scheme should be expeditiously completed.

There should be smooth fund flow for timely completion of the project and to avoid cost escalation.
