Esteemed Members,

Wish you and your family members a very Happy New Year.

Finally we started broadcasting talks on our own i.e. without taking help from theexternal agencies as Google hangout On Air provides free service and there is norestriction on number of viewers. One need not necessarily have google account forviewing. This shall strengthen our efforts to reach out to far off places from Ahmed-abad. Better if you suggest topic of your interest, we shall arrange for lecture. Wealso request you to give us your feed back by mail so that we can try to improve up-on the performance.

We have taken up membership drive in next phase. Though there was good re-sponse from places like Hazira, Vapi etc where engineers are concentrated, it is feltbetter to have District wise group of volunteers who can mobilize the base. Pleasesee next page for details. Your voluntarily accepting the responsibility would help usgrow to the interiors as there are many pockets left out like refineries at Jamnagar,Engineering College faculty members, erstwhile GEB engineers, industries etc.

IEI Alumnus can help us in these efforts. But let them first get together on 19th De-cember and chalk out their future course of action.

Centenary celebrations have just begun. You may send ideas for celebrations.

Shri A.P.Bhavsar, former director (Command Area Development) Sardar Sarovar Narma-da Nigam Ltd delivered a talk on rain water harvesting in urban and rural areas under theaegis of Water Management Forum on 27th November 2015. The talk was our first experi-ment of broadcasting via Google Hang Out On Air to reach out to our members stayingaway from Ahmedabad.

He explained that Rainwater harvesting (RWH), is a process of arresting and storing rainwater for efficient application and conservation, an effective way of utilising large quan-tum of water which otherwise goes as surface runoff. RWH has 2 components: Rainwatercollection for storage and recharging ground water. RWH causes improvement in groundwater levels, enhancement of water availability in wells/tubewells, improvement in thequality of ground water, saving in energy in lifting ground water (one meter rise can save0.40 kwh) and reduction in soil erosion due to reduced surface water runoff. He then ex-plained various methods adopted for RWH in urban as well as in rural areas.

Presen ng the paper on-‘UnlockingValue in Gujarat’s Canal Irriga on: SomeNew Thinking’ Mr. Tushaar Shah, IWMI,Colombo discussed the major concerns like-benefits to a frac on of design command;Persistence of head-tail inequity; Low levelservice in terms of reliability, equity & me-liness; ‘Build-neglect-rebuild’ (BNR) syn-drome in place of ‘build-serve-earn-maintain-grow’ (BSEMG) syndrome ; Poorrecovery of Irriga on Service Fee (ISF); Pau-city of resources for effec ve MO&M; Tube-well boom in canal commands; Li le or noverifiable informa on on performance ofpublic irriga on systems against objec ves;He further informed that agriculture in thestate of MP grew yearly by 20 % during2012, 2013, and 2014 a ribu ng to Irriga-

on Miracle such as- Poli cal push and sup-port; Irriga on Management Overhaul; Fo-cus on improved Main system MO&M; In-tensive field monitoring from top tobo om, with intensive use of ICT; Mobiliza-

on of the en re dep’t.; Pre-monsoon canaldesil ng; System opera on at FSL; Strictenforcement of tail-to-head irriga on; Strictenforcement of Osrabandi; 2000 WUAs ac -vated ;Regulariza on of canal li . In the indepth discussion, he suggested that thereshould be more horizontal expansion of thecommand instead of present case of about90 % water supply in the nearby vicinity ofthe canals by adop ng conjunc ve manage-ment of canal and groundwater. Based onstudy published in a book on SSP, hebrought the facts that more the farmersinvests more is his income, hence, providingwater sources at required interval of areaallowing the farmers to li and take to theirfields is a be er op on to achieve higherwater use efficiency.

RECOMMONDATIONS:PIM act of different states have

different kinds of features. One or the othersuch features have proved unique and ex-hibited its applica on very successfully.Such features should be compiled and circu-lated for its mul ple benefits to all.Framers confidence, faith, coopera on and

moral is a fundamental requirementover and above poli cal will for suc-cessful PIM. To make it possible canalnetwork perfec vely func oning is aprerequisite. Also, assurance of thresh-old water alloca on can add to it.Hence, this must be as cri cal criteriafor handing over PIM.

Self sustainability in the regards of expendi-ture and income of a WUA is a cri calelement for smooth func oning ofWUA a er handing over. Therefore,ways and means of income to WUAmust be provided / envisaged appro-

Mr. Brij Mohan Sharma fromChambal Command informed that his wasthe first WUA in the command now thereare 314 WUAs are func oning. The ac vi esof canal maintenance, water distribu ons,conflict resolu ons and the collec on ofwater charges are being performed up tomark.

To promote efficient and economical use ofirriga on water through PIM while in-creasing agricultural produc vity andmaintenance of water courses underthe jurisdic on of each VSA’s, Gov.should issue special orders-such thatenable the par cipa ng member farm-ers of VSA’s to avail subsidy on variousschemes of agriculture &other dep s.,especially on agricultural implementa-

ons, fer lizers, pes cides, seeds, con-struc on of new wells, diesel pumps,oil engines, harvester, to create infra-structure of irriga on, laying pipe-lines /drip and sprinkler irriga on etc.on priority.

Par cipa on is a key of progress in a pre-sent day context. Also, increasing eco-nomic return encourages the farmersto adopt and implement any program;therefore, PIM ac vity should bebased on par cipatory ac vi es of ag-riculture.

A na onal “PIM Week” may be celebratedevery year to undertake campaign tocreate awareness among the con-cerned in order to focus on loca onspecific strategic needs say mainte-nance and repair of canals, pre season-al crop planning, soil reclama on ifrequired, etc..

Experiences have revealed that ‘Li Irriga-on Schemes’ func ons successfully

including PIM provided the workmen-ship of each component of the systemmust be perfect. Hence, the irriga onsystem perfec on is a backbone forsuccessful PIM.

In order to empower the func onaries ofWUA for effec ve implementa on ofPIM, the WUA should be provided withbe er legal support.

In the case of the topography and agroclima c condi ons are very cri cal tomaintain sustainable irrigated agricul-ture i.e. area under ‘Land IrrigabilityClass-III, IV or VI, the implementa onof PIM could be more successful whileachieving higher water use efficiency ifwater sources are provided at certaininterval of area from where farmersare allowed to li and take the waterto their fields instead of convec onalcanal systems.

When farmers spend of their own, wateruse efficiency is assured. Therefore, lifrom canals is preferable to developingcanal system right up to the farms but,li ing should not be permi ed frommain and branch canals. The PIM cannot only be solu on of water manage-ment. The canal li should be promot-ed at minor level as it gives higher wa-ter use efficiency.

Canal command should be evaluated as anecosystem. PIM should not be limitedto water distribu on but should bepart of resource management specifi-cally agricultural resources.
