  11. WATER DISTRIBUTION AMONG VARIOUS SUB-TRIBES

  12. COMMAND AREA • Dholi 88.3 ha • Kothi 97.2 ha • Soharbun 21.5 ha • Khand 58.1 ha TOTAL 265.1 ha

  13. RULES • Construction of diversion structures, repair and maintenance undertaken both by Hajbani and Kaloi sub-tribes • Water uses time is priorily fixed among and within the sub-tribes since centuries • Water user can expand the area only within his own allocated time • Privilege of a water user to transfer or not the water rights fully or partially with the transfer or sale of land • Rights of Riparians and agreements on the disposal of access or unused water

  14. WATER DISTRI BUTION RULES • Delimitations of the command area - Dholi - Kothi - Khand • Proportionate distribution of water among the sub-tribes (water turn of 9 days is observed) • Proportionate distribution of water within the sub-tribes and the individuals • Procedure of draw for water turn between Hajbanis and the Kaloi • Allocated time strictly observed irrespective of watercourse and losses • Fixed allocated time of irrigation for particular Mauza i.e. Dholi (2 bails)
