  2. The Case Source: Tamilnadu Science Forum

  3. Tank Rehabilitation Programme in Pondicherry Forming and Registering Tank Associations • General Body constituted with 1 male and 1 female representative from each household in the village. • The GB elects an executive committee. • Adequate representation to all sections with “weighted voting”. • Special emphasis on representation for landless, dalits &women The Case

  4. Reason for Rehabilitation Tank association trained and guided to evolve action plan for rehabilitation of the tank. Because of exclusive reliance on ground water over the last two decades the tank system was in disuse, the ground water was depleted with saline water ingress, and large areas had no access to groundwater as they were unable to deepen the bore well. The community had to understand that the solution lay not in more ground water but in tank rehabilitation. The Case

  5. Methodoogy • Tank association came up with new technological solution - the underground water conduit- for a locale specific problem and the engineers finally consented. • New social solutions also involved to give landless benefits from tank rehabilitation - fish culture, and fodder cultivation. The Case

  6. Result Programme successful with benefits immediately seen. The tripartite system of government public works department, the tank association and the NGO is the key to success. The NGO plays the role of forming, training and supporting the tank association. The Case

  7. The Village Tanks • Local community resources • Indigenous, traditional technology • Agricultural lifeline • Predominantly in the Deccan Plateau, Eastern India and Chhotanagpur Plateau due to undulating topography. Source: Asian Development Bank,2006

  8. What is Tank Rehabilitation? • Process of restoring tanks to their original design, standards and performance. • Rejuvenating the interest and participation of the users. • To make the best use of the tank system. Source: MYRADA TOOL KIT

  9. Importance of Tanks and Need for Rehabilitation • There are 2-3.5 lakh tanks irrigating 3 mha of land (Total land 563 mha). • In Orissa alone 3 lakh ha is irrigated by tanks. • 40% of the Indian landmass is arid i.e. 500-1000 mm of annual rainfall. Cont… Source: Asian Development Bank,2006

  10. Importance of Tanks and Need for Rehabilitation (cont…) • River basins- Saturation in production. • Groundwater depletion • Problems with major irrigation structures • Community participation • Backward and forward linkages Source: Asian Development Bank,2006

  11. Process • Desilting – Removal of silt. • Surplus weir crest conversion. • Sluice outlet maintenances • Tree planting Source: MYRADA TOOL KIT

  15. Questions Being Asked • Is rehabilitation really required? • What about their present role? • The present stakeholders?... Petta Cultivation • Do all tanks qualify? (Traditional Approach) Source: Institute of Social & Economic Change, Bangalore

  16. Few Models Being Implemented

  17. The World Bank funded • Karnataka Community Based Tank • Management Project consists of • three components: • undertaking tank system improvements; • 2) establishing an enabling environment for the sustainable, decentralized management of tank systems; and • 3) strengthening community-based institutions to assume responsibility for tank system development and management (World Bank, 2002).

  18. PRADAN Model • Trust building • Standardisation • Integrated Tank Development System • Self management Source: MYRADA TOOL KIT

  19. Noticeable Activities • Southern States- Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka & Pondicherry. • Orissa- World Bank & United Nations Support. • Rajasthan- TBS & Government of Rajasthan. • Agencies- EU, NABARD, Ford Foundation, PRADAN, TBS, DHAN Foundation, Government.
