20. State Perspective Strategy Plan Contd……

21. State Perspective Strategy Plan (Contd…) • Proposed in SPSP for next 18 years.

22. Prioritization Process for selection of IWMP WS • GoI indicated tentative allocation of 4.40 lakh ha. • Proposed to take up one IWMP watershed in each of 110 DDP/DPAP blocks of 12 districts in 2009-10. • In each DDP / DPAP blocks mandals were prioritized based on the criteria of GoI. • PDs got these prioritized lists approved by the DRCs with few modifications. Contd…….

23. Prioritization Process for selection of IWMP WS (contd….) • In the mandal prioritized (and approved by DRC) in each of the DDP/DPAP blocks, hydro geological units of 4000-5000 ha were delineated. • The maps of these delineated clusters (IWMP Watersheds) were sent to PDs for incorporating • GP Boundaries. • Forest Areas. • Areas already covered under watersheds. • Certain basic data of the villages falling in these IWMP watersheds was obtained from PDs for PPRs.

26. Preliminary Project Report Contained the details of • Agro climatic conditions. • Land use pattern with areas. • Soil types, Topography, Rainfall, Major Crops. • Flood and Drought Occurrence. • Soil erosion detail, Runoff intensity. • Summary of present livelihoods and possible interventions. • Wage employment status & Migration status. • Ground water status; Drinking water availability & quality. • Major crops & their Productivity & Expected Post Project Productivity.

27. IWMP watersheds sanctioned for 2009-10 • 110 IWMP Watersheds covering a total area of 4.73 lakh ha were sanctioned by GoI. • The funds towards the part of 1st installment are released to the DWMAs. • DPRs need to be got prepared by end of January, 2010 to get the balance release of 1st installment.

28. PIA • It was decided to designate the MPPs (MPDOs) as PIAs. • Project Directors were informed accordingly & requested to appoint MPDOs as PIAs.

29. Detailed Project Report • Guidelines & Module for DPR preparation are developed. • For each IWMP Watersheds, one senior & experienced TA will be allotted to be with the planning team. • 110 senior TAs are identified & they will be trained from 2nd to 7th December. • Consortium meeting is being convened on 1st December, 2009 to seek their help. • One day orientation is being planned for PDs and APDs of the 12 DDP/DPAP district. Contd..

30. Detailed Project Report (Contd….) • Members of ROs will be trained in 2nd week of December. • Planning process will start in 3rd week of December, and will be completed by 15th of February, 2010. • DPRs will be prepared village wise with UG wise sub plans and consolidated for each IWMP clusters. • Each village may take 8-10 days and each cluster of 6 villages (average) may take 48-60 days.

31. BROAD CONTENTS OF DPRs • Ground water status • Irrigation facilities • Status of water table • Quality and availability of drinking water. • Water budget. • Details of livelihoods. • Problem Typology of the watershed • Planning Process • Action Plan for NRM,CB,PE&EP • Maps- Cadastral maps &Thematic Maps • Institutional Arrangements • Expected Outcome • Introduction of micro watershed/village • Base line Data- • Demographic features • Livestock details • BPL status • Operational Holdings • Migration particulars • Details of Community Based Organization • Land features • Details of CPR • Crops & Cropping patters • Soil classification & Erosion status • Climate & Hydrological features

32. STEPS IN PREPARATION OF DPR

33. Maps • The maps prepared for PPRs need to be revisited to make corrections where needed. • Village boundaries & micro watershed boundaries need to be superimposed on them. • These tasks will be completed in CRD Office by the GIS Cell. Contd…

34. Maps (Contd….) • Thematic maps with following theme will be got prepared by APSARC or NRSA. • Soil Resources. • Land capability & Irrigabiity. • Erosion status & Extent of soil loss. • Geology and structure. • Ground water potential zones. • Slopes. • Land use / land cover & NIDVI analysis. • Long term rainfall analysis for rainfall Erosovity determination. • Cadastral details superimposed on thematic maps.
