SERVICE 10 - PROVIDING INFORMATION ON IRRIGATION

INFRASTRUCTURE

UnderAgriculture Mission Mode ProjectNational e-Governance Program Agriculture (NeGP)Department of Agriculture & CooperationMinistry of AgricultureGovt. of India

Allocation of  Water is inefficient, unsustainable, and inequitable . The

irrigation infrastructure is deteriorating. 

To overcome this problem, Services - 10 under   NeGP-A has been

proposed

2/14

Service aims at providing information on :

a. Water release schedule

b. Best practices on irrigation

c. Linking with MGNREGA with Land Records Database to facilitate identification of small and marginal farmers

d. Database for information on ground water to be developed in association with the Central Ground water Board.

e. Water level in reservoirs and likely area of different crop mixes that can be irrigated from it.

f. Irrigation equipments

g.Expert advice and mechanism for grievance management

h.Command area created planned and actually serviced at the end of each crop season under different projects including the government tube wells, lift irrigation and canal irrigation (including information on distribution network in a command area)

i. Mapping of NWDPRA Watershed codes with GIS Maps available with SLUSI.

j. Land degradation and water logging details can to be linked to GIS based database.

k. Calculation of water requirement of standing crops at different points of times in a crop cycle is to be incorporated so that Command Area Development Authorities are well informed about requirement of water at a particular time in different parts of the command area.

l. Details of network of canals 3/14

Informatics RequirementsDatabase Requirement :-

8/14

Thematic mapping of irrigation structures. Locations maps of catchment area,

reservoirs, canal network and watersheds. Land degradation maps & water logging

maps

GIS Requirements

9/14

Best practices on irrigation (Source : Water Technology Research Center - IARI, SAU, Water and Land Management Institute - MOWR)

Irrigation equipments and their utility (Source : Central Institute of Agriculture Engineering, Bhopal…..)

Usage of irrigation equipment Digital watershed atlas (Source : SLUSI…..) Information on Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) executed by

NABARD for rural infrastructure development project in irrigation sector. Information on Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Program (AIBP) executed by

MoWR. Financial assistance is extended states for creation of irrigation potential under AIBP. Under this high resolution satellite data has been generated which is benificial in the effective monitoring of irrigation infrastructure. Gap / discontinuity in canal length, Non Completion of canal structures can be monitored.

Content Management

10/14

Grievances Management :- One of the important mandates of Agriculture MMP is facilitate the farmers to raise grievances to the appropriate authority in the administrative system. The propose modules would be

• User Module• Status Tracking• Reports• Email

Expert Advisory :- The expert advisory process relates to the advice sought by the farmers directly with subject matter experts at the state and national level, with respect to their queries on irrigational infrastructure, schemes and equipments. Kisan Call Center (KCC) is already in place for expert advisory.

11/14

Coordination from M/o Rural Development, M/o Water Resources and M/o Environment & Forest ( necessary instructions to be issued by MoA to respective ministries )

Watershed Codes available are not as per SLUSI standards and correct spatial coordinates are not available which would affect GIS mapping.

Multiple sources of relevant data on irrigation.

Issues:-

12/14

As Is Situation

Linkages with the information on Dug Wells, Shallow Wells and Deep Tube Wells. The information is on the basis of Minor Irrigation Census. (http://mowr.nic.in/mi3)

Command Area Development Program (CADP) deals with the components like construction of field channels and field drains, enforcement of warabandi, land leveling and shaping, reclamation of water logging, introduction of suitable cropping patterns. Project wise and year wise physical and financial progress is available on http://mowr.gov.in

An online monitoring system http://mowr.nic.in/cadmon is available for CAD monitoring. This system facilitates submission of project proposal, recording of quarterly physical progress (like OFD works, Field Channels, Lined & Unlined area & length etc.) & financial progress, recording of project wise irrigation potential created (in Ha.) & irrigation potential utilized (in Ha.) and production statistics (in Tones).

A Web based System has been proposed for Receipt and Processing of Applications for the issue of NOC to Abstract Ground Water would facilitate Issue of No Objection Certificate (NOC)

13/14

Two applications have been developed by the Agricultural Informatics Division for Watershed http://rfs.dacnet.nic.in and http://nrmmonitor.dacnet.nic.in . Information is available on Watershed codes, catchment location, implementing agency, villages covered, no of SHGs, men & women benefited.

Water level and Storage capacity of 81 important reservoirs is available on http://www.cwc.nic.in/Reservoir_level.htm . Information like Name of the reservoir, Full reservoir level (FRL) in Meters, Current reservoir level, Capacity at FRL in BCM, Current live storage in BCM, Shortage % of live capacity at FRL etc is available.

Database available for hydrology projects under MoWR. Information on availability, quality, water table etc. is captured.

Dataset for the irrigation infrastructure given under DISNIC-PLAN Project may be used (Source - http://disnic.nic.in/dataset.htm)

Common Guidelines for Watershed Development Projects under NWDPRA.

State Govt. applications if any…

14/14

The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) is changing the face of rural India in many unforeseen ways. Almost 50% NREGA is oriented towards Water Conservation which leads to creation of permanent assets.

Linking with MGNREGA database is required to identify the marginal and small farmers who requires support from MGNREGA, so that Gram Sabha can take an informed decision regarding the selection of beneficiaries.

Available information (various reports etc.) on http://nrega.nic.in to be made use of.

Selection of beneficiaries under MNREGA

As-is situation in Karnatka

WALMI Orissa - Sanjog Help Line provides information on Crop Management Practices, Marketing procedure and Grievance Redressal in Orissa. Canal Operation and water Scheduling is prepared in consultation with Pani Panchayats. Irrigation scheduling is not scientific.

Department of Water Resources, Orissa has a portal (http://www.dowrorissa.gov.in) which highlights the achievements in irrigation sector taken up by the Govt. of Orissa.There are two programs namely OCTMP (Odisha Community Tank Management Project) and OIIAWMIP(Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Programme). WALMI imparts training on Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM), Operation & Maintenance activities, Irrigation Engineering and Management etc

WALMI Anand - Provides Consultancy Services to the Govt. and Local Bodies, Individuals in the field of Irrigated Water and Land Management.

HIRMI Kurukshetra - Imparts Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) Training to Officials of Universities, KVKs & Extension Workers in addition to Farmers (approx 3000) and Command Area Division Officers. Experts from KVKs are involved in PIMs and Training on Market Conservation Techniques. No database is being maintained by WALMIs. Haryana Irrigation Department has a website http://hid.gov.in.

WALMI Hyderabad (WALAMTARAI) – There is a website http://irrigation.cgg.gov.in WALMI Dharwad - For best practices on crops, irrigation methods, agronomic

practices, pests and disease control WALMI relies on the recommendations of State Agriculture Universities. Regarding capacity building and working of WUAs, WALMI recommends best practices. Irrigation Officers deals with water release schedule.
