  3. Water crisis • Per capita Water Availability in India • India’s Water Demand in 2050 (Values in km3) PPT downloaded from www.pravinkolhe.com

  4. Need for Improvement in Efficiency • Irrigation Water Use= 80% of Total Water • Design Water Use Efficiency= 40 to 45% • Actual Water Use Efficiency= 25 to 40 % • Thus, there is scope for Efficiency Improvement. • Water Use Efficiency is ratio of value of agricultural produce per unit of water. • Efficient water management means supplying right quantity and right quality of water to the various stakeholders at the right time with minimum losses and minimum cost.

  5. Benefits of Efficient Water Management • Better water service to stakeholders • Optimum use of scarce water resources • Reduction in O&M cost • Improved revenues to the Government • More crop per drop of water • Minimization of over-exploitation of ground water • Reduction in adverse impacts of Climate Change • Helps in mitigating Water Crisis of 2050.

  6. Overview of Adol Multi-purpose WR Project (AMWRP) • Location:- Malegaon, Dist-Washim, Maharashtra. • Basin:- Painganga sub-basin of Godavari basin • Free catchment area = 116.55 km2 • Water Use:- Irrigation, Drinking Water, Fisheries. • Stakeholders:- Farmers, Citizens, Local Govt. and Fisheries Department, • Gross storage = 15.03 Mm3 • Live storage = 12.90 Mm3 • Gross Command Area = 1269 ha • Culturable Command Area = 1061 ha • Irrigable Command Area = 978 ha • Irrigation by Canal = 748 ha • Irrigation by Lift = 230 ha • Drinking Water Benefits to 10 villages & one town.

  8. PLANNED & Actual Water Utilization in 2011-12 of AMWRP PPT downloaded from www.pravinkolhe.com

  9. Evaluation of Water Use Efficiency of AMWRP • To irrigate 978ha area, 6.25 Mcum water was required as per original planning with canal. • In 2011-12, 3.26 Mcum water irrigated 947 ha of area. • Thus the irrigation water use efficiency is about 192%. • The duty, i.e. the area of land that can be irrigated with unit volume of irrigation water is 290 ha/Mcum. • These results are extraordinary and the reason behind this is optimum utilisation of irrigation water by the pipe network in the command area by the farmers. • Water use efficiency for the AMWRP is about 85 to 90% due to reduction in losses in branch canal, minor and field channels • Use of Closed Conduit pipes & Sprinkler/Drip Irrigation Method was the reason behind improvement in efficiency. • This project is a very crucial example of how water can be efficiently managed and distributed to various stakeholders in order to achieve its desired benefits.

  10. Conclusion • India is not a water deficit country, but severe neglect & lack of efficient water use is causing water stress. • The decreasing per capita water availability and increasing demand from various water stakeholders adds pressure. • The solutions to the problems across the country lies largely in areas of effective mechanism for conservation, distribution, management, and use of water. • Irrigation sector consumes about 80% of water and currently serving at water use efficiency of 25 to 40 percent. • The outcome of evaluation of Adol Multipurpose WR Project shows that 100 per cent efficiency in irrigation sector can be increased by adopting modern irrigation techniques such as Pipe Distribution Network & Drip/Sprinklers. • The case study of AMWRP is crucial in efficient water management with the help of Water Users Association.
