EVALUATION OF SPATE WATER DISTRIBUTION AND APPLICATION STRUCTURES Dr. M. Munir Ahmad Engr. Zafar Islam Engr. Fazal Minallah Water Management of Spate Irrigation Systems PARC, D. I. Khan
INTRODUCTION • Earthen Structure ; • Not Dependable • Labour intensive and Time Consuming • Need repair after each spate • OBJECTIVES • Develop and adapt water Management technologies • for distribution/diversion and application of spate water
PROCESS FOR SELECTION OF SITES AND EXECUTION • Reconnaissance Surveys • Local community approach • Visit field with the community • Discusiion for Water rights • Planning for survey
CONTINUED…….. • PEAK AND AVERAGE FLOW ESTIMATION • DESIGN Preparation • Implementation Schedule • ESTIMATION OF THE MATERIAL & Cost • PARTICIPATORY EXECUTION • Participatory MONITORING & EVAULATION
PARAMETER FOR EVALUATION • Hydraulic Discharge, Sedimentation, Velocity , Erosion • Social Water Rights, Change in Livelihood • Economic Fixed and variable cost, Cost benefit
Advantages • Can close inlet after irrigation easily and avoid water flowing back out • Can use it to irrigate next field
Improved Design of a Diversion Structure Include Bearings for easy operation
Advantages • Avoid conflicts • Regulate flow division • Irrigate several areas simultaneously
Impacts • Strengthen Village organization. • No conflict during 2006 • Irrigated area increased • Farmer made a rules for contribution to maintain the structure • Farmer from the other villages who irrigated from the structure are willing to contribute. • Less pressure on main bund
