  1. Water Resources And Agriculture Development Strategy For North-East2002-2012 Dr.(Eng S) S Sivakumar Project Director ENReP

  2. Districts In North –East Province • Jaffna • Kilinochi • Mullaitivu • Vavuniya • Mannar • Trincomalee • Batticaloa • Ampara. • Area- 1881sq.km • Estimated population - 2.9 m (2002)

  3. Principle Economic Activity • Agriculture • Forestry • Livestock • Fisheries Note : more than 50 % of the workforce depend on agriculture activity.

  4. Sequence • Status of Water Resources. • Status of Agriculture • Development Strategy. • Irrigation Project Proposals for North • Irrigation Scheme Development and Management • Implementation Strategy of Irrigation Schemes • Project Proposals and Costing

  5. Status of Water Resources • Population. • 1.9m in 1971 • 2.9m in 2002 • Cross Domestic Product • 23 % in 1996 out of this 19 % from agriculture • Water Need • Domestic • Irrigation • Commercial • Industrial

  6. Status of Water Resources • Government Investment. • 1. Surface Irrigation Facilities. • 2. Ground Water Extract Facility. • Water Resources Augmentation • 1. Limited option. • 2. Less Technical Feasibility. • 3. Less Economic Viability • Importance of • 1. Conservation 2. Efficient Management • Of available water resource should be addressed properly.

  7. Ground Water Use. • Domestic • Agriculture • Commercial • Industrial. Uncontrolled Extraction of Ground water By • Government Organization. • NGO • Commercial Enterprise • Private Sector.

  8. Status Of AgriculturePrior To Conflict • Agriculture sector contributed 50 % of GDP in NEP • NEP contributed 20 % GDP of the Country. • 33 % of rice • 40 % of Dry-Chilly • 30 % of Onion • 30 % of Livestock • 55% of fishing Produced in NEP

  9. Due To The Conflict • Damaged to Property • Exodus of Farmers and fishermen – leads directly. • Decline of Investment • Shrinkage of support services. leads indirectly. • Decline in productivity. • Increased losses in assets. • Growing unemployment. • Poverty. • Social unrest.

  10. Development Strategy • AIM • Utilize the water resource in an economic manner by practicing effective water management, crop diversification, micro irrigation and conserve groundwater for future generation. • Shift from subsistence agriculture to a commercially oriented agriculture leading to increase production, especially of high value of items that would readily find a market, both domestic and external, promote greater employment and incomes and a higher standard of living.

  11. Development Strategy • Features • To conserve surface water by following strict water management techniques. • To reserve ground water for the future generation by utilizing at least 25% of the surface water stored in irrigation schemes for for domestic and industrial water use. • To stop boring new tube wells and prevent power (Electric or Kerosene) pumping from existing tube wells.

  12. Development Strategy • Features- Ctd. 4. To conduct a detail ground water model study to identify recharge sensitive minor irrigation schemes and make a policy of forgoing certain portion of cultivation in that schemes and allow the reserve water to recharge the ground water. 5. To maximize the utility of rain fall available in the region by constructing as much as possible detention storage facilities to recharge the ground water and to store for other uses without affecting the forest cover. 6. To maximize the use of the physical and natural endowments of the North East province on a sustainable basis.

  13. Development Strategy • Features ctd. 7. To break away from subsistence agriculture and embark on a programme of commercial agriculture and establish an agro industrial base in the province. 8. To make use of the comparative advantages the North East Province has in certain sectors vice a vice other provinces and pursue a path of balanced growth within the province. 9. To make use of the available human resources to effect the required technological and managerial transformation of the agricultural sector.

  14. Conclusion (Policy) • Owing to the diverse nature of the resources, and the need to exploit such resources, the development strategy, even within a single district, cannot concentrate only on one particular aspect of agriculture such as crops or livestock. A holistic, integrated approach is therefore essential and any plan of development should integrate crops,livestock, fisheries and forestry within an area in order to achieve maximum gains.

  15. Irrigation Project Proposals for North • Irrigation Scheme Development and Management • Implementation Strategy of Irrigation Schemes • Project Proposals and Costing

  16. Irrigation Scheme Development and Management • ·The full rehabilitation of the existing Irrigation system to bring back the system as normal, which was on before twenty years, • ·The possibility for additional water storage facilitates, to cultivate crops in high intensity to fit with the existing population growth.

  17. Implementation strategy • Short term(immediate) Projects • Medium term projects • Long term projects

  18. Short term project • In all the schemes (other than Giant’s tank and schemes taken under NEIAP) for the immediate settlement of people and for the jump start agriculture activities minimum of 5 million for major medium irrigation schemes and 0.5 million for minor tanks is needed. The implementing agencies will identify the priorities of the very minimum requirement and execute the work no sooner the allocation is granted and will complete with in the year itself.

  19. Medium term projects • The project proposals upto 150 million will be categorized as medium term project and this will be implemented in three year time.

  20. Long term projects • The rest of the projects will be implemented as long term project and complete within 5 year time. But if limited allocation is available for a proposed long term project, Implementing agency will identify the priority among the proposals given, within 150 million and could be implemented as medium term project and completed within three years. The rest of the proposals in these particular long term projects will be reformulated as long term projects and will be implemented within 5 years time.
