Implementation of Warabandi Programme:

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

Water, the natural gift of God, now it is becoming scarce day by day. Hence proper economic utilization of the water has become absolutely necessary. Introduction of Warabandi is the first and best method. Warabandhi programme is originally concerned to government with minimum interference of the farmers to ensure equitable water distribution to the large number of cultivators in an outlet command. The warabandi programme is introduced not merely on equity in management of water on the farm but also takes in to consideration the cropping the crop water requirement and soil condition. Government of India is now giving more emphasis in the introduction of warabandi system in all the committed projects. It is to be noticed that the segment upstream from outlet and the down stream segment are to be managed simultaneously for the proper working of warabandi

systems. Hence the entire system from main cannal to field channel has to be incurred under warabandi of CADA for the efficient utilization of the created potential.

WORKING MANAGEMENT IN AGRICULTURE SECTOR

Extension of crop production are under irrigation has been the most important developmental activity of

command area. The environmental impact of water logging, salinity, and alkalinity affecting the crop productivity and land degradation. The water logging is causing salt

accumulation in the irrigation tructs making the soil productivity law the continuous water logging has lead to salinity affecting the soil structures and texture, the alkalinity making the soil totally uncultivable. The excessive irrigation, poor drainage, monoculture cultivation, use of fertilizers and pesticides has degraded the soil quality and water centamination. In this back ground the Bhadra command area development authority has undertake some functions: 1. Land reclamation. 2. Soil survey activity.

Land Reclamation Government of India have introduced a new scheme for reclaiming the water logged area in the command area of C.A.D. programmes. Out of total area of 1,18,737 hector cultivable lands comprising of Bhadra reservoir project, Tunga Anicut and Gondi Anicut of Bhadra command area development authority. An area as much as 11% is 1,28,58 hector lands affected by water logging, salinity, alkalinity which reduces the agricultural yield in such of the lands by 30-40%. And hence, under the item of work "Land Reclamation" Bhadra C.A.D.A spends some amount of grant-in-aid every year.

2. Soil Survey Activities Detailed soil survey of command areas are conducted and the interpretations of soil and land conditions are done to find out behavior of soil under the altered water regimes brought about the irrigation. Detailed soil survey is

undertake with the objective to find out areas suitable for irrigations, crops that may be expected, water delivery requirements, land development needs, problems in

drainage and special reclamation practices, etc. 3. Soil Conservation Activities The soil conservation wing in Bhadra C.A.D.A. is responsible for undertaking soil survey and conservation activities in the layout of the C.A.D. programmes. The main soil conservation work being carried out in the command area is land leveling and land shaping. It not only conserve soil but also will project the canal system which in turn improve the irrigation efficiency.

1) To control pests and diseases observed in mono-crop series of paddy growing. 2) The peak demands of labour requirement in a mono cropping system. 3) Providing nitrogen rich organic manure to soil good forage in animals. 4) Reduction and elimination of salinity and alkalinity. 5) Efficient use of irrigational water by growing diversified cropping system.

6. Conjunctive use of ground and surface water

Some agricultural practices do not received the channel waters according their requirements. At times land of the tail ends, salinity and alkalinity affected lands and late showing or transplants do not get the uninterrupted supply of water. To help farmers to utilise under ground water in conjunction with surface water, availment of loan facilities on well and pump sets are encouraged.

After completion of work he will submit the bills and vouchers along with utilization certificate. Monitoring of the work will also be done by the CADA.

Participatory Irrigation Management

In a number of developing countries, the management of a part of irrigation Systems are being entrusted to farmers' societies. Under this system, which is coming up in many states in India, the water is supplied in bulk to these societies who in turn will distribute them to the farmlands and manage the supplies to the field channels. This kind of participatory management needs to be encouraged in all irrigation projects and extended further right up to the headworks. Necessary legislation has been undertaken to give legal backing to this process. In due course, this should result in efficient use of water for irrigation and augment the existing supplies to some extent. The farmers, apart from the primary role of raising crops, will also have their due say in the management of water supplies. Further, they

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

may also share the responsibility of maintenance and modernization of the irrigation works.

The Bhadra C.A.D.A. could have successfully manage in participatory irrigation management.

Integrated Land and Water Resources Management

This is needed with respect to land and water for sustainable development. The Catchments areas of all dams (small or big) should be protected from environmental Degradation by carrying out measures to prevent soil erosion and sustained growth of vegetation. District level authorities consisting of representatives of local

Adnistration, forests, water supply, pollution control boards and NGOs should be Setup monitor and implement the various measures so that the water supply sources are well protected. In India, there are institutions called Water and Land Management Institutes (WALMIS) in each state, and these should also be associated with the catchments area

C.A.D.A

INTRODUCTION

The Command Area Development Programme has been in operation since 1974-75 as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme. Much emphasis has been assigned during the IX Plan in view of Government of Indias decision to double the food grain production during the next ten years duration to meet the increasing need of food for growing population. During the IX Plan Period the emphasis remains to continue to execute On-Farm Development works like Field Channels, Field Drains, Land Leveling and shaping and enforcement of Warabandi including wireless systems to improve

communications in canal network area. The main thrust areas during the IX Plan include reclamation of waterlogged areas in the irrigations commands, dissemination of

technical know-how among farmers and involving farmers in irrigation water management. The tackle the waterlogged areas in the irrigation commands, identification of problem areas, planning and designing of reclamation work would be the pre-requisite.
C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

State Government may take up this activity on priority basis to bring waterlogged areas back to its productivity after taking preventive and remedial measures. Transfer of technical know-how of scientific water-management from Lab. To land through adaptive trials, demonstrations need be taken up at the farmers fields, which should be reinforced with suitable training to them. Involvement of farmers in the upkeep of the system and management of irrigation water is an important aspect of the Command Area Development activity to have the worthwhile

realization of benefits from the programme. The programme should be implemented in a manner that it increases the irrigated area through scientific water management and envisaged activities to increase other agricultural productivity and production from irrigated land and bring sustainability in agricultural production. All aspects of the CAD programme need be taken up in an integrated and coordinated manner so as to achieve its objective adequately in water supply timing and equitably.

C.A.D.A ii.) One-time functional grant for forming FARMERS ORGANISATIONS (W.U.C.S.)

Field channels and field drains, constructed with grants from the State and Central Governments need be maintained by farmers themselves for enabling supply of water to the fullest extent to each farm and also to improve the irrigation efficiency within the irrigation portion handed over to the Association. Outlet commands. It is, therefore, essential to involve farmers in equitable distribution of irrigation water among farmers, repair and maintenance of the distribution network and management of irrigation water in the command areas handled over to them for management. To facilitate the working of these Water Users Associations initially the provision has been made to provide One-time Functional Grant at the rate of Rs.500 per ha. (Rs.225 per ha. by Center, Rs.225/- per ha. by the State and Rs.50/- per ha. by the Farmers). The functional Grant will be given where farmers associations are formed,

registered and actually engaged in distribution of water. The amount would be deposited in the fixed account of Farmers Association in the bank and interest accrued thereon would be used for the activities of the Associations. However, necessary proof of fixed deposit of the grants given to the Association, which includes all the tri-parties contributions, will have to be given for the amount granted. iii.) Formulation Warabandi:The Command Area Development Authority does enforcement of Warabandi below the outlets. Integrated water management includes supply from the head regulator of main canal up to the farm gates should be considered as a single unit. Effective co-ordination with the irrigation staff is necessary in working out operation plan for the main system which would be in conformity with the warabandi schedules prepared below the systems should be attempted in advance, considering the recommended sowing times of various crops for kharif and rabbi seasons. Co-ordination with the agriculture Deportment. (extension as well as zonal

scheduled water distribution for opening of the canal, restoring of the branch or distributaries for providing equitable water supply in various sub-commands and informing the farmers in advance, need be done. Installation network is also or reliable and fast aspect communication for collecting

an

essential

information is respect of precipitation in the command, stages of growth of crop, dry spells in different subcommands, etc. based on this information, the deliveries can be planned, altered or modified so that water can be delivered when needed and can be diverted to other areas having dry spells. Such reliable communication system would facilitate monitoring operations through a Central control station and would be effective in introducing midterm corrections in the deliveries.

The expenditure on the implementation of warabandi include:-

(a)Construction of Adjustable Proportionate Modules at outlet head and measuring devices in field channel like parshall flumes, notches (rectangular or

trapezoidal) or weirs depending upon situation and minor repairs of field channel till formation of farmers association. (b)Providing gates for the outlets in case of updated or pipe outlets so as to control/stop deliveries in the field channels. (c) Display boards at outlet head showing the name of outlet, discharge, C.C.A., name of farmer, area of his field, his turn indicating day and time for taking water, duration of time. The name of farmers Association, if any, functions, responsibilities and duties of the farmers should also appear on the board.

(d)Auto-transmitters coupled with gauge recorders for speedy and reliable transmission of gauges to the control stations. (e)Expenditure on Warabandi should be incurred in areas where constructions of field channel/drain were

completed. The establishment eligible for Central assistance under this programme should be the bare minimum. iv.) Crop compensation to Farmers for on-farm

development works. A major factor responsible for the slow progress of onfarm development works, particularly land leveling and shaping, has been the short working season available to the land development agencies, especially in the areas where the major crop is Rabbi. The normal working season begins after the harvesting of the rabbi crops and continue till the onset of the monsoon. Thus working season is less than 90 days in a year, though the establishment and machinery have to be maintained for the entire year. Apart from the

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

slow progress, the short season also contributes to higher unit cost to the farmer, as the operational over-heads have to be spread over the smaller quantum of work done. In such area, it is essential to increase the working season by undertaking land development works in the rabbi season also, for which farmers have to be given

compensation as they would have to forego the rabbi crop. The loss is to be shared equally between the farmers, the State Government and the Central Government. While all the farmers in the area of operation in the command would bear one-third on the loss to be distributed among those farmers who are actually deprived of the rabbi crop, the remaining two thirds would be shared equally between the State Government and Central. In other words, the Central Government would meet one third of the estimated loss to the farmers. The estimates of the net loss would vary from project to project depending on the crops sown, the cost of inputs and the prices the produce would fetch in the market.

C.A.D.A

Minimum support price decided by the Agricultural Prices Commission for the season may be considered or sample studies would have to be made for the purpose for the principal rabbi crops in the areas, which are proposed to be taken up for land leveling and shaping during the rabbi crop season.

v.) Construction of field channels: Construction of field channels is an important activity under the programme for efficient utilization of irrigation water. Properly planned aligned and designed field channel should be constructed from the Government outlet in a manner that each and every field of the outlet command is connected by field channel. The Central assistance to the extent of 50% cost on matching basis for construction of field channels with related structures like cistern,

measuring devices, drop structure, division box, checks, turnouts, flumes, culverts inverted siphons, Community Development works, etc., and lining of 20% length of total length of field channels at vulnerable reaches would be
C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

available as grant in the CAD projects, from outlet to the field. The field channel may be lined or unlined but according to the financing pattern only 20% of the total length of field channel could be lined at vulnerable reaches except at those places where more percentage of lining is approved by the Ministry of Water Resources. However, if the seepage losses in the water course are very high due to the type of soil, climatic conditions, scarcity of water and low intensity of irrigation, more percentage of length could be lined after approval of CAD activity are specified in the circular enclosed with the release proposal. vi.) Field Drains: The Central Assistance (Central share for the construction of field drains will be regulated by the cost norm of Rs.1, 000/- per ha. vii.) Reclamation of Waterlogged areas: The problem of waterlogged in the commands of irrigation projects has affected the health of the soil and

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

reduced the agricultural productivity considerably. It has been decided to provide central assistance to States as grant on matching basis for reclamation of water logged areas in the irrigated command of the projects covered under CAD Programme. The items of work under this scheme area: -

Assessment of problem areas in the commands of irrigation projects.

Planning and Designing for preventive and reclamation measures.

Taking up the preventive and remedial activities like land management, drainage (surface, sub-surface,

vertical, etc.)

Monitoring and Evaluations. The Central Assistance will be available at the rate of

half of the actual expenditure or Rs.6, 000/- per ha whichever is less and the balance amount will be borne by the State Government. However, prior approval of the

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

Central Government may be taken before undertaking the work. viii.) Adaptive Trial, Demonstration and Training: Appropriate water management practices at the field level, usually called on-farm water management, which include preparation of fields to receive irrigation water, improved methods of irrigation such as borders check basins, furrows, determining the optimal lengths of fields, suitable stream size etc., would also be required to be experimented and demonstrations arranged for the benefit of the farmers. Working out appropriate frequencies and water doses for different crops, evolving water allowances in the command after considering the total water available, field application losses as well as the conveyance loses so as to have equity in distribution of water in various subcommands as well as among the farmers can also be experimented under these trials. Training farmers in

respect of irrigated agriculture, switching over from rain fed crops with low risk, low inputs to high inputs high risk

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

irrigated crops so as to increase yields as well as profits is required to be included in these trials. This change over has to be gradual after considering the financial capability of the farmers, which can be done by adjusting the most suitable combination of fertilizer ingredients (N.P.K) after testing the soils. For this purpose comprehensive adaptive trials should be taken up in the respective command areas according to the guidelines already issued earlier which clearly states that prior approval from Centre may be taken by the State respect of Adaptive Trials before its

undertaking and incurring Government in of expenditure. ix.) Training The irrigation management staff and field level workers from the command area development agency would need training in improving the deliveries from the main system, on farm water management, warabandi, irrigation application at the level of field and participatory irrigation management. The farmers would also need

training in distribution of water below the outlet or minor and maintenance of field channels/field drains. The states
C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

and command area development agencies have already been requested to organize this training.

The Superintending Engineer, Executive Engineers and Deputy Engineers can be trained at the respective WALMIs in the states but the field level staff and the farmers need to be trained at the project level. Project level training centers may therefore be setup, for imparting training in respect of the activities or works entrusted to the various categories of staff so as to improve their capabilities and also to have effective quality control. The farmers particularly the outlet leaders of the committee members of the minor may be trained in irrigated crops, crop rotations, proper sowing times, crop water-soil irrigation

relationship,

warabandi,

participatory

management and maintenance of field channels/drains. This can be done by organising 3-5 days workshops, training programme etc.

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

The expenditure on training would be shared by Government of India and State Government on 50:50 basis. The reimbursement would be made as grant.

A number of training programmes are also organised by this ministry through All India institutes, such as Administrative Staff College of India, IIMs, WRDTC

(Roorkee), WALMIs and WAPCOs, etc,.

So as to acquaint

or Evaluation Directorates,

Institutes already existing in the State Government.

1. Half of the total cost on evaluation studies sponsored by the State Governments would be borne by Government of India. 2. Cent percent of the total cost of evaluation studies sponsored by CAD wing of Ministry of water resources will be borne by Government of India.

II. LOAN Purchase of Machinery and equipment for

land/ground water development State owned corporations entrusted with the work of on-farm development, ground water development etc. within the command areas and relevant to the strategy of development for the command area may need to purchase earth moving and other equipment for the purpose. Loan to the extent of half the cost of the equipment proposed to be

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

purchased would be advanced to the state Government to be passed on to the corporation on whatever terms and conditions the State Government may decide. The State

Government would have to match this with an equal amount and pass it on to the corporation. The recovery of the loan sanctioned by the central Government would be governed by normal procedure of financial rules.

Machinery/equipment, purchase through loan assistance should form the part of inventory of the department.

B. STATE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE The state government schemes of the command area development programme as explained bellow: 1.Construction Godowns: The state Financial Assistance for the construction of societies Godowns cum office it is established with the view

PROBLEMS, SUGGESTION AND CONCLUSION

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

PROBLEMS

The problems are classified into three groups A. Problems of the authority B. Problems of the farmers C. Problems in command area

A. The Bhadra command area development authority faces certain problems and those problems are explained bellow. a) Financial stringency. The authority did not have its own resources; it is supported by 100% government grants. Before it taking any programmes it will be wait for government. b) Un satisfied staff members. i). Recently, the authority can installing the E.D.P. (Electronic Device Processing) forms of the filing system it

is typical to some former clerks, who did not have knowledge in computer technology. ii). Some senior officer can prejudice to the staff creates unpleasantness to the staff

members. It members. iii).

Due to negligence and carelessness of the

employees it is not becoming possible to keep them busy, and it shows inefficiency of the authority.

B. Problems of the farmers

1. The irrigation system had been started from 50 years ago, hence, in irrigation network, the structures (i.e., the structure of cannels ) are destroyed, and there by the water distribution is not proper. 2. Due to accumulation of silt, water is not flowing in cannel; so tail-end farmers are not receiving water. 3. Un authorized farmers (non-members of water users cooperative societies) are using waters illegally from the

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

cannels which resulting in denial of water to the legitimate farmers. Law free agencies are failed to prevent unauthorized utilization of water.
4. Some farmers (stake holders) who are located in tail

end area. They are not properly receive the services and facilities by C.A.D.A 5. Government grants or funds will fall for the purpose. 6. Due to negligence of the farmers, the water is

misutilysation and waste full. 7. Some farmers are uneducated, who did not have knowledge in water management.

C. Problems encountering in CADA Area: Due to excessive Irrigation in the command areas and

cultivation of high water demanding crops. Such as paddy, and sugarcane has lead to water logging, salinity and alkalinity.
The salinity has become very acute in the command

areas.

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A The crop productivity has not increased correspondingly

due to low water use efficiency.


Lack of proper crop planning, land degradation salinity

and alkalinity problems occurred.


Besides low productivity and inefficient use of water the

environmental degradation such as water confirmation due to pesticides use, water logging, loss of biodiversity, have been cause of concern.

Suggestions
A. To the authority: a). The authority should have right to collection of Waterates. For the prevention of financial stringency. b). The authority should be take Agricultural marketing process and also storing system should be possessed. c). They have to give well training to the staff members about computer technology.

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

d). They have to give proper division of work and ensure proper human relation

B. To the farmers 1. They have to give over force to the higher authority for the proper improvements of irrigation structures 2. Properly identifying the silt accumulated area in cannel and completely clearing the silts for distribution of water, the farmers should over force to the authority to take above action. 3. Properly identifying the unauthorized farmers and to give punishment and penalties for them. 4. The tail-end areas farmers should form the separate association for authority emphasis properly laid. 5. The funds granted by Government should be sufficiently and should be in an unambiguous. 6. Installation of computerized water measuring device in each irrigation field for the prevention of wastefulness of the water.

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

7. The farmers are participation in VAYASKARA SHIKSHNA SCHEME of Government and also participation in Water Management training. C. To the CADA area Water resources has to be accelerated to meet the growing demands for food production. Massive

programmes for development are being formulated to achieve the full development of irrigation potential. The

timely implementation of the massive programmes is required.

Future development which requires more advanced experts in each discipline of water resources development technology. Various important recommendations in this

regard should relevant to the situations. The solution needs a human approach besides technical support.

Due to excessive irrigation the sodium salts will come up and deposit on the field which causes to water logging & salinity, which controls the

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

availability of nutrients to plants. Continuous use of water without changing the cropping pattern is leads to the water logging alkalinity. To avoid this the cropping systems should be followed.

Salinity can be overcome through lining of open canals, water distribution management and sub surface drainage systems.

Suitable cropping system should be adopted , so as to increase the productivity and land management practices.

Right cropping system for optimal use of water & other resources. Correct method of irrigation, to achieve higher water use efficiency under the present situation, good land development

practices should be followed.

Environmental degradation is due to increase of pests & diseases since showing of same crops continuously. To control the pests & diseases

using of heavy amount of plant protection

training to the farmers is to be conducted frequently protecting the water ways leading to the field of their month point either by

vegitative or by stone pitching soils.

The out let points should be made operative and leak proof.

The field canals should be re-designed and re-laid out wherever necessary, lining of field canals should be taken up on priority. Water can be structures need to be

provided all along the canal.

Drainage net work needs to be rejuvenated.

up the responsibilities of maintaining common properties to various office bearers and the members of the society.

Regular training to all the concerned manpower on irrigation water management, drainage, soil problems, soil management, crop management, cropping systems and use of more farm yard manure and growing green crops such as sunlamp, diancha so that soil texture, structure &

productivity increase.

CONCLUSION

From this project report we can analyse the various aspects of command area development authority and its programmes. Again in this project report we can identify the various problems, which are laid on command area

C.A.D.A. by the farmers, for the farmers, to the farmers

C.A.D.A

development authority and along with its covered area and also given related suggestions. This report also states the agricultural development in the country.

Another important point that one can find out from this report is, that government is providing maximum financial aid and other facilities to irrigation & agriculture sector, the farmers can get these facilities. They will also get compensation from government for their damages due to scarcity and draught.

After considering the above para one can say that even though the agriculture sector in the country is on thrive, though the government is facing economic loss.

Even though the government has provided various schemes, programmes to farmers, they are misutilisiing the service provided by them with out paying the tax, loans, etc. Therefore the government and C.A.D.A. have to give more emphasis for all these areas.
