Water losses and utilization efficiency under different components of Canal irrigation system (Agarwal and Khanna, 1983)
Approach: End to End Solution • Creation, repair, restoration & renovation of water sources Water Sources Strengthening Irrigation Supply Chain Distribution Network • Developing/Strengthening distribution network for brining water to farm Crop & Water Management & • Crop alignment, moisture conservation • Promoting efficient conveyance and field application devices • Encouraging community irrigation management Water Use Efficiency
Drawbacks of water course(channels) • Seepage from WC ranging from 12 to 35 % • Breaking the WC by the farmers near their fields High repair and maintenance cost due to frequent damage Normally Over size of Guhls are constructed Wastage of land under WC network
Alternative solution Gravity fed Water Conveyance System using Pipeline • Himalayan Foothills: village cluster – Gadoria, Devthala, Pasauli, and Dungakhet. • Population: Socially backward- 82%; economically poor – 80%
Intervention: Gravity fed Water Conveyance System Least Irrigated area in Pasauli (11 %) but in Devthala, agriculture was entirely rain dependant. • Water conveyance • Water distribution • Water application
Elevation of intake structure along left bank of the stream Plan of the intake structure of the water conveyance system
Galvanized Iron(GI) pipeline Dia of pipe : 100mm Length: 2080 m Gravity head: 37.87 m Discharge: 10 LPS Designed for Gravity flow.
Distribution System A masonry tank of size (7.4 x 5.5 x 1.8 m) and a capacity of 50,000 liters was constructed at an altitude of 709 m amsl and was fed with water conveying through the main GI pipe by gravity flow from the source.
Blocks PW:16.28 ha; slope: 4.3% PE:5.5 ha; slope: 13% D: 4.5 ha; slope: 4.3 % To minimize the cost of the system, PVC pipes of 110 mm was laid out in the command area.
On-farm Water Management • In all three blocks, one riser is provided at every 1.5 ha, this is termed as unit command area. • To enhance the application efficiency of irrigation, collapsible synthetic pipes are being used to irrigate individual fields of the unit command area are encouraged to use.
To avoid the conflict: in one season, delivery of water follows the sequence from head to the tail riser and in next season delivery sequence gets reversed • To enhance the water use efficiency, Drip irrigation system has been equipped with three risers with objective to popularize the system
Cost Effectiveness Initial Expenditure (Rs/Ha) one lakh In case of WC water conveyance system(as per norms of state): 1.5 lakh/ha Annual Repair & maintenance cost (Indicative) For pipeline: 1% For WC: 10 %

Irrigation requirement of some common crops grown in India IISWC
ANIMAL WATER REQUIREMENT • AnimalMP State Norms • Cattle 135 lit/day • Horse/Donkeys /Camel 45 lit/day • Pigs 15 lit/day • Goats/Sheep/poultry 08 lit/day • Buffalo 155 lit/day • THE GROUND WATER REQUIREMENT FOR LIVE –STOCK IS ASSUMED TO BE 10 PERCENT OF TOTAL REQUIREMENT, AS MAJOR PORTION OF LIVE STOCK TAKES WATER FROM SURFACE RESOURCES. • A CRYSTAL OF THE POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE WATER AS 2.1 PPM WITH A CONTACT PERIOD OF ABOUT 3 TO 4 HOURS • 70 lpcd for municipalities supply and 40 lpcd for rural supply
