Executive Summary In an agrarian economy like India, agriculture utilizes the major share of country‟s

exploitable water resources. Though the sector utilizes the maximum share of

exploitable water resources, availability of the same at different locations to different

extent makes it vital to adopt effective utilization of water through storage,

channelizing and judicial use. At some places like Punjab and Haryana, the

environmental and socio-economic rationale for this capture by the sector is now

being questioned. Accordingly, it is needed to challenge and change the

fundamentals of the prevailing view of water resources exploitation. A new and more

suitable approach to water resources allocation is necessary if the population is to be

adequately fed, without further degradation and destruction of the critical ecosystem

services. Water productivity needs to be enhanced considerably, and economic cost-

benefit analysis and pricing regimes can play a significant role in such a process.

However, these economic measures will not be sufficient on their own. They will

need to be buttressed by technological innovation and institutional changes in order

to encourage a more equitable distribution of resources and to mitigate potential

international conflicts across 'shared' water basins.

Water has unique characteristics that determine both its allocation and use as a

resource by agriculture. Agricultural use of water for irrigation is itself contingent on

land resources. In a situation of growing water scarcity and rising demands for non-

agricultural (household and industrial) use of water, reassessment of sectoral

allocations of water are inevitable. In developing countries, irrigated agriculture

plays a vital role in contributing towards domestic food security and poverty

alleviation. Therefore, achievement of these objectives is dependent on adequate

allocations of water to agriculture. Justification of such allocations requires that

irrigated agriculture be a cost-effective means of achieving stated political or social

objectives, such as food security or poverty alleviation, and that all externalities be

taken into account in the pricing mechanism. Improved allocation of irrigation water

is required within the agriculture sectors in order to achieve greater efficiency in the

use of irrigation water and existing irrigation infrastructure. Reallocation is also

required in order to reduce waterlogging and salinization of irrigated land, to

decrease the negative environmental impacts and other externalities of irrigation

(caused by over extraction of groundwater and depletion and pollution of surface

water).

Government of India launched Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) to

address the constraints in providing assured irrigation as well as increasing efficiency

and productivity of current water use to bring more prosperity to the rural areas.

Priorities of Government of India were reflected in the Hon‟ble President‟s address to

the joint Session of the Parliament of 16th Lok Sabha where it was emphasized that

“Each drop of water is precious. Government is committed to giving high priority to

water security. It will complete the long pending irrigation projects on priority and

7

launch the „Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana‟ with the motto of „Har Khet Ko

Pani‟. There is a need for seriously considering all options including linking of rivers,

where feasible; for ensuring optimal use of our water resources to prevent the

recurrence of floods and drought. By harnessing rain water through „Jal Sanchay‟ and

„Jal Sinchan‟, water conservation and ground water recharge will be nurtured. Micro

irrigation will be popularized to ensure „Per drop-More crop”.

PMKSY has been approved with an indicative outlay of Rs.50,000 crore over a period

of five years from 2015-16 to 2019-20. The programme is an amalgamation of on-

going schemes of Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga

Rejuvenation, Ministry of Agriculture & Cooperation and Ministry of Rural

Development. The existing schemes AIBP, CADWM, MI, SWMA, Watershed and

Convergence with MGNREGA were brought together under the umbrella program of

PMKSY. Further the scheme seeks convergence with other schemes like Rashtriya

Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and Rural

Electrification programmes (JLNNSM & REP), Rural Infrastructure Development

Fund (RIDF), Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD),

Members of Legislative Assembly Local Area Development Fund (MLALAD), Local

Body Funds (LBF), Working Plan of State Forest Department (WPSFD), etc.

PMKSY will be implemented in an area development mode only by adopting a

decentralized state level planning and projectised execution structure that will allow

the state to draw up their own irrigation development plans based on DIPs and SIPs

with a horizon of 5-7 years. The program will be supervised and coordinated utilizing

the existing mechanism and structure available under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana

(RKVY) program with state agriculture department acting as the State Nodal Agency

for implementation of PMKSY. However, the implementing departments for the four

components like AIBP, PMKSY (Har Khet Ko Pani), PMKSY (Per drop more crop)

and PMKSY (watershed development) will be decided by the respective program

ministry/department.

The 05 chapters along with introduction chapter, explains the profile of district, its

water requirement for agriculture and allied sector, water availability, assessment of

water requirement for various sectors and strategic action plan for augmentation and

effective management of available water resources.

District Profile: Mahesana district is an important district in North Gujarat region.

As per 2011 census, the district has a population of 20,35,064 persons with

population density of 462 per sq km. Population wise it ranks 15th in the State. The

male and female population in the district is 10,56,520 and 9,78,544 respectively

with a female/male sex ratio of 926/1000. The district has semi-arid climate with

three distinguished seasons i.e. Kharif (June to September), Rabi (October to

January) and Summer (February to May). According to climate, topography, soil

characteristics and cropping pattern, Mahesana district falls under North Gujarat

8

Agro-climatic Zone-IV, which is further sub-divided into 4 Agro-ecological

situations. The soil type of Mahesana district in general is sandy loam. It has low

water holding capacity. The soils of the district possess neutral (in reaction) soil pH

(6.5 to 7.5).

Agriculture in Mehsana: Castor, bajra, cotton, tomato, moong are the main

kharif crops and wheat, mustard and cumin are the main rabi crops grown in the

district. As per 2013-14 data, out of gross cropped area of 5,45,781 ha (exclusive of

horticulture crops) in the district, 3,73,985 ha (or 68.52%) is irrigated while 1,71,796

ha (31.48%) is rainfed. Kharif crops have a share of 3,04,946 ha (or 55.87%), Rabi

crops have a share of 1,87,480 ha (or 34.35%) and Summer crops have a share of

53,355 ha (or 9.78%). During the year 2013-14, total production of major agricultural

crops and the productivity were recorded as 23,69,299 quintals & 1351.84 kg/ ha

(Kharif season), 44,48,997 quintals & 3639 kg/ ha (Rabi season), and 3,50,750

quintals & 2361 kg/ ha (Summer season).

As per 2014-15 data, out of 58,661 ha area under horticulture crops in the district,

fruits, vegetables, spices and flowers have area share of 32.77 per cent, 45.81 per

cent, 21.17 per cent and 0.25 per cent respectively. 96.72% of the area under

horticulture crops was irrigated in the district.

District Water Profile: River system of Mahesana district includes Khari river and

Rupen river. Both these rivers are ephemeral in nature and flow only during good

monsoon years. The river Sabarmati forms the eastern boundary of the district with

very limited catchment area in the district. Major part of the area in the district is

devoid of any drainage network and does not fall in any catchment. Sources of water

supply include major & medium irrigation canals, minor irrigation tanks, diversion

channels, rain water harvesting structures and ground water extraction structures

such as bore wells. However, overexploitation of groundwater has been observed in

the district with the draft considerably exceeding the recharge. As per Central

Ground Water Board notification 2011, the status ground water in eight Talukas of

the district is over exploited, while in one block it is critical.

During the year 2014-15, total canal command of the district was 1,84,058 Ha, out of

which 1,11,919 Ha is developed and 71,020 Ha is undeveloped. Further, total other

services command of the district was 11,007 Ha, out of which all area was developed.

There were 21 nos. of government canals, 73 nos. of community ponds, 210 nos. of

private ponds, 355 nos. of water harvesting structures and 292 nos. of government

bore wells, in the district.

The total water annual water availability of the district is 1708.3027 MCM, out of

which share of surface water and ground water are nearly equal to 50%. Further,

there are 6 ongoing projects and 3 proposed projects of Sewage Treatment Plant

(STP) in the district. On completion of above STP projects, the treated water will be

9

mainly used for irrigation and industrial purposes. This will add annual water

availability of 36.368 MCM by the year 2020.

Demand for water sources and the gap: The present & projected water demand

from various sectors such as domestic, livestock, agriculture, industrial and power in

the district is assessed. The total present water demand from various sectors is

2113.1535 MCM, while future water demand (2020) is 2132.3975 MCM. To meet this

demand, total of 872.0627 MCM surface water and 836.24 MCM ground water is

available in the district. Further, water availability of 36.368 MCM will be added by

2020 through ongoing and proposed STP units. Therefore, the present water gap is

to the tune of 404.851 MCM, and the projected water gap (2020) shall be to the tune

of 387.727 MCM. To bridge this gap, strategic action plan has been prepared by

various departments.

Proposed plan: Total planned outlay for four years works out to be Rs.

1073.1098 Crores. Maximum share of Rs. 828.648 Crores (77.22%) is for Har Khet

Ko Pani Component, followed by Per Drop More Crop Component of Rs. 101.62

Crores (9.47%), followed by AIBP Component of Rs. 74.259 Crores (6.92%), followed

by PMKSY Watershed Component of Rs 67.219 Crs (6.26%), and very marginal share

of Extension Component of Rs 1.363 Crs (0.13%). Considering department wise fund

requirement, maximum share of Rs. 573.76 Crores (53.47%) is for Nodal Irrigation

Departments, followed by SSNNL of Rs. 284.8478 Crores (26.54%), followed by

marginal shares of GSWMA (6.26%), GGRC (6.47%), GWRDC (4.94%), GLDC

(2.19%), and ATMA (0.13%). The budget requirement of GSWMA includes

component of convergence with MNREGA of Rs 374.578 Lakhs.

The Strategic Action Plan of PMKSY will be monitored by the respective departments

through the regular reporting system and component wise progress will be

monitored by the District Level Irrigation Committee. During the upcoming four

financial years, an additional area of 80,555 ha area will be covered under PMKSY.

This will generate additional total number of man days of 1,27,97,381, and increase

in the income of agricultural labourers in the district by Rs. 228.77 Lakhs.

Introduction

i. Background

Preparation of decentralized area specific district planning process visualized in

various plans took concrete shape through the years and initiatives like specific

guidelines on methodologies and processes for preparation of district plans;

framework for preparation of perspective plan, medium term and annual plans by

then planning commission in 1969 and the 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments

conferring constitutional status to Panchayats at district and sub district level; local

self-government in urban areas; constitution of district planning committee to

consolidate the plans prepared at Panchayats and municipalities and prepare a draft

development plan for the whole district.

The decentralized planning process was further strengthened through emphasis by

planning commission on preparation of district level plans and making it an integral

part of the process of preparation of the states 11th five year plan. The Planning

commission issued guidelines in August 2006 for preparation of the district plans.

The guidelines define the District Planning as „the process of preparing an integrated

plan for the local government sector in a district taking into account the resources

(natural, human and financial) available and covering the sectorial activities and

schemes assigned to the district level and below and those implemented through

local governments in a state. The document that embodies this statement of

resources and their allocation for various purposes is known as the District Plan”.

Government of India through a resolution in National Development Council on 29th

May 2007 conceived a special Additional Central Assistance Scheme (ACAS) to

address the slow growth of agriculture and allied sectors by incentivizing states to

draw up plans for their agriculture sectors more comprehensively. The NDC

resolution states "GoI introduced a new Additional Central Assistance Scheme to

incentivize states to draw up plans for their agriculture sector more comprehensively,

taking agro-climatic conditions, natural resource issues and technology into account,

and integrating livestock, poultry and fisheries, etc. This involved a new scheme for

Additional Central Assistance (ACA) to State Plans, administered by the Union

Ministry of Agriculture over and above its existing Centrally Sponsored Schemes, to

supplement the State-specific strategies including special schemes for beneficiaries

of land reforms. The newly created National Rainfed Area Authority on request, was

to assist States in planning for rainfed areas".

The NDC in its resolution advised the states to prepare a comprehensive district

agriculture plans (C-DAP) that will fully utilize available resources and include allied

agriculture sectors. Further, GOI issued a manual on preparation of comprehensive

district agriculture plans to help the states prepare C-DAP. As per these guidelines,

the objective of district planning is „to design an integrated and participatory action

plan for the development of local area in general and agriculture and allied sectors in

particular‟. The objectives of Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) were:

11

To prepare a Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) through

participatory process involving various organisations and stakeholders.

To enable optimum utilisation of scarce natural, physical & financial

resources.

To assess and plan for the infrastructure required to support the agriculture

development.

To establish linkages with the required institutional support services, like

credit, technology transfer, ICT, research etc.

To evolve an action plan for achieving sustainable agricultural growth with

food security and cropping system that will improve farmers‟ income.

The guidelines required the state/district authorities to (i) ensure that the

agricultural plans are prepared for the district and then integrated into the

agricultural plans of the State based on the agro-climatic conditions, availability of

technology, trained manpower and natural resources; (ii) local needs / crops / feed

and fodder / animal husbandry / dairying / fisheries / priorities are reflected in the

plan; (iii) productivity gaps for important crops and livestock and fisheries are

reduced; and (iv) the returns to the farmers from these are maximized.

The latest move in the process of strengthening of decentralized planning process

was the Government of India guidelines issued in 2015 in the form of a template for

the preparation of District Irrigation Plan (DIP) and State Irrigation Plan (SIP) as

part of the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) program and made the

preparation of DIP and SIP mandatory for the states to receive funds from the

program. The present report is a product of these long drawn efforts of Government

of India to strengthen the decentralized planning process in the country focusing on

the vital resource i.e., water.

Water is of vital importance for human & animal life, maintenance of ecological

balance and promotion of developmental activities. Considering its vital importance

and ever increasing demand for water, in the face of population growth, urbanization

& industrialization and considerations of climatic change, making water, an

increasingly a scarce resource, available to multiple uses, planning and management

of this vital resources, utilization of water economically, optimally and equitably

assumes greater importance.

According to the 12th Five year Plan the water budget estimates of India by Ministry

of Water Resources suggests an availability of 1123 billion cubic meters (BCM)

against a current estimated demand of 710 BCM. The Standing Committee of the

Ministry of Water Resources estimates that this water demand will rise to 1093 BCM

by 2025. Though the existing water availability in the immediate future seems to be

adequate, with the near constant supply of water resources in the face of increasing

12

demand on account of population growth, urbanisation and industrialization will

strain the water supply-demand balance.

The per capita water availability which stood at 5,177 cubic meters in 1951 was

reduced to 1820 cubic meters in 2001 while the international prescribed limit is 1800

cubic meters. The projected per capita availability of water is 1341 cubic meters in

2025 and 1140 cubic meters in 2050 suggesting shortage of water in the medium

term1. Further, the all India water balance estimates does not reflect the variations in

water balance across time and space- certain areas having a positive water balance

and the others facing acute shortage. The problem is further accentuated by water

quality related issues.

With the abundant surface and ground water supply in the first five decades since

independence, more than 80 percent of the total available water resources were

allocated for irrigation purposes and the rest meeting the domestic and industrial

demands. In a recent study2 on the demand for water from agriculture, domestic and

industrial uses in 2000, 2025 and 2050 seems to suggest that domestic demand (34

BCM in 2000, 66 BCM in 2025 and 101 BCM in 2050) and industrial demand (42

BCM in 2000, 92 BCM in 2025 and 161 BCM in 2050) for water will utilize the total

balance water available while agriculture demand for water will be (605 BCM in

2000, 675 BCM in 2025 and 637 BCM in 2050). This change is partly because of the

changing sectorial contributions of India‟s GDP and also partly because of dynamics

of irrigation development in the country where the initial expansion in area under

irrigation is propelled by the availability of abundant water resources and availability

of good quality land. This is no longer the case in many of the states where the

availability of land and water are serious constraints for further expansion of

irrigation. Further, as per the erstwhile planning commission up to March 2012 out

of 141 million hectares of net sown area in the country 114 (or 81%) million hectares

is Irrigation Potential Created (IPC) and 88 (or 62%) million hectares is Irrigation

Potential Utilised (IPU) leaving almost 20% of irrigated potential unutilized. This

leaves 40 percent of the net sown area in the country dependent on rainfall which

makes farming a high risk and less productive.

The competing demands for water resources and the emerging issues and concerns

were to be addressed through certain basic principles and commonality in

approaches in dealing with planning, development and management of water

resources3 under an Integrated Water Resource Management framework. The main

objectives of water resource management as delineated in National Water Policy

2012 are:

1Ministry of Water Resources (2011), Strategic Plan for Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India,

New Delhi. 2Amarasinghe, U.A., Shah T., Turral, H. and Anand, B.K. 2007. India’s water future to 2025-

2050:Business-as-usual scenario and deviations. Research Report 123, International Water

Management Institute, Colombo. 3Ministry of Water Resources, National Water Policy, 2012, Government of India, New Delhi.

13

a) Planning, development and management of water resources need to be

governed by common integrated perspective considering local, regional, State

and national context, having an environmentally sound basis, keeping in view

the human, social and economic needs.

b) Principle of equity and social justice must inform use and allocation of water.

c) Good governance through transparent informed decision making is crucial to

the objectives of equity, social justice and sustainability. Meaningful intensive

participation, transparency and accountability should guide decision making

and regulation of water resources.

d) Water needs to be managed as a common pool community resource held, by

the state, under public trust doctrine to achieve food security, support

livelihood, and ensure equitable and sustainable development for all.

e) Water is essential for sustenance of eco-system, and therefore, minimum

ecological needs should be given due consideration.

f) Safe Water for drinking and sanitation should be considered as pre-emptive

needs, followed by high priority allocation for other basic domestic needs

(including needs of animals), achieving food security, supporting sustenance

agriculture and minimum eco-system needs. Available water, after meeting

the above needs, should be allocated in a manner to promote its conservation

and efficient use.

g) All the elements of the water cycle, i.e., evapo-transpiration, precipitation,

runoff, river, lakes, soil moisture, and ground water, sea, etc., are

interdependent and the basic hydrological unit is the river basin, which should

be considered as the basic hydrological unit for planning.

h) Given the limits on enhancing the availability of utilizable water resources and

increased variability in supplies due to climate change, meeting the future

needs will depend more on demand management, and hence, this needs to be

given priority, especially through (a) evolving an agricultural system which

economizes on water use and maximizes value from water, and (b) bringing in

maximum efficiency in use of water and avoiding wastages.

i) Water quality and quantity are interlinked and need to be managed in an

integrated manner, consistent with broader environmental management

approaches inter-alia including the use of economic incentives and penalties

to reduce pollution and wastage.

j) The impact of climate change on water resources availability must be factored

into water management related decisions. Water using activities need to be

regulated keeping in mind the local geo climatic and hydrological situation.

The National Water Policy 2012 drives the water resource management program

planning and management in the country. Government of India launched

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) to address the constraints in

providing assured irrigation as well as increasing efficiency and productivity of

current water use to bring more prosperity to the rural areas. Priorities of

Government of India were reflected in the Hon‟ble President‟s address to the joint

14

Session of the Parliament of 16th Lok Sabha where he indicated that “Each drop

of water is precious. Government is committed to giving high priority

to water security. It will complete the long pending irrigation projects

on priority and launch the ‘Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana’

with the motto of ‘Har Khet Ko Pani’. There is a need for seriously

considering all options including linking of rivers, where feasible; for

ensuring optimal use of our water resources to prevent the

recurrence of floods and drought. By harnessing rain water through

‘Jal Sanchay’ and ‘Jal Sinchan’, we will nurture water conservation

and ground water recharge. Micro irrigation will be popularised to

ensure ‘Per drop-More crop”.

PMKSY has been approved with an indicative outlay of Rs.50,000 Crores over a

period of five years from 2015-16 to 2019-20. The programme is an amalgamation of

on-going schemes of Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga

Rejuvenation, Ministry of Agriculture & Cooperation and Ministry of Rural

Development. The existing schemes AIBP, CADWM, MI, SWMA, Watershed &

Convergence with MGNREGA were brought together under the umbrella program of

PMKSY. Further the scheme seeks convergence with scheme likeMahatma Gandhi

National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNRES), Rashtriya Krishi Vikas

Yojana (RKVY), Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and Rural Electrification

programmes (JLNNSM & REP), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF),

Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD), Members of

Legislative Assembly Local Area Development Fund (MLALAD), Local Body Funds

(LBF), Working Plan of State Forest Department (WPSFD) etc.

The PMKSY will be implemented in an area development mode only by adopting a

decentralized state level planning and projectised execution structure that will allow

the state to draw up their own irrigation development plans based on DIPs and SIPs

with a horizon of 5-7 years. The program will be implemented as part of Rashtriya

Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) with state agriculture department acting as the State

Nodal Agency. However, the implementing departments for the four components like

AIBP, PMKSY (Har Khet Ko Pani), PMKSY (Per drop more crop) and PMKSY

(watershed development) will be decided by the respective program

ministry/department.

The funds under this program would be provided to the states as per the pattern of

assistance of Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) decided by the Ministry of Finance

and NITI Aayog. During 2015-16 the existing pattern of assistance of ongoing scheme

was continued. An outlay of Rs. 50,000 crore has been approved for 2015-20. The

financial assistance provided to the state governments from this centrally sponsored

scheme is subject to fulfilment of certain conditions. Firstly, a state will become

eligible to access PMKSY fund only if it has prepared the District Irrigation Plans

(DIP) and State Irrigation Plan (SIP), excepting for the initial year, and the

15

expenditure in water resource development for agriculture sector in the year under

consideration is not less than the baseline expenditure, which is defined as the

average of the expenditure in irrigation sector irrespective of the department in the

state plan in three years prior to the year under consideration. Secondly, States will

be given additional weightage for levying charges on water and electricity for

irrigation purposes, so as to ensure sustainability of the programme. Thirdly,

interstate allocation of PMKSY fund will be decided based on

Share of percentage of unirrigated area in the state vis-à-vis national average

including prominence of areas classified under Desert Development

Programme (DDP) and Drought Prone Area Development Programme

(DPAP)

Increase in percentage share of expenditure on water resource development

for agriculture sector in State Plan expenditure in the previous year over three

years prior to it and

Improvement in irrigation efficiency in the state.

ii. Vision

The overreaching vision of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) will be

to ensure access to some means of protective irrigation to all agricultural farms in the

country, to produce „per drop more crop‟, thus bringing much desired rural

prosperity.

iii. Objective

The objectives of the PMKSY are to:

a) Achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level (preparation

of district level and, if required, sub district level water use plans).

b) Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area

under assured irrigation (Har Khet Ko Pani),

c) Integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use, to make best use

of water through appropriate technologies and practices.

d) Improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage and increase

availability both in duration and extent,

e) Enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving

technologies (More crop per drop).

f) Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation

practices

g) Ensure the integrated development of rainfed areas using the watershed

approach towards soil and water conservation, regeneration of ground water,

arresting runoff, providing livelihood options and other NRM activities.

h) Promote extension activities relating to water harvesting, water management

and crop alignment for farmers and grass root level field functionaries.

16

i) Explore the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for peri-urban

agriculture, and

j) Attract greater private investments in irrigation.

iv. Strategy/approach

To achieve these objectives PMKSY adopted strategies that include

a) Creation of new water sources; repair, restoration and renovation of defunct

water sources; construction of water harvesting structures, secondary & micro

storage, groundwater development, enhancing potentials of traditional water

bodies at village level like Jal Mandir (Gujarat); Khatri, Kuhl (H.P.); Zabo

(Nagaland); Eri, Ooranis (T.N.); Dongs (Assam); Katas, Bandhas (Odisha and

M.P.) etc.

b) Developing/augmenting distribution network where irrigation sources (both

assured and protective) are available or created;

c) Promotion of scientific moisture conservation and run off control measures to

improve ground water recharge so as to create opportunities for farmers to

access recharged water through shallow tube/dug wells;

d) Promoting efficient water conveyance and field application devices within the

farm viz, underground piping system, Drip & Sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns and

other application devices etc.;

e) Encouraging community irrigation through registered user groups/farmer

producers‟ organisations/NGOs; and

f) Farmer oriented activities like capacity building, training and exposure visits,

demonstrations, farm schools, skill development in efficient water and crop

management practices (crop alignment) including large scale awareness on

more crop per drop of water through mass media campaign, exhibitions, field

days, and extension activities through short animation films etc.

v. Programme Components

PMKSY has following four components:

1. Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP): To focus on faster

completion of ongoing Major and Medium Irrigation including National Projects

2. PMKSY (Har Khet Ko Pani):

a) Creation of new water sources through Minor Irrigation (both surface and ground

water)

b) Repair, restoration and renovation of water bodies; strengthening carrying

capacity of traditional water sources, construction rain water harvesting structures

(Jal Sanchay)

c) Command area development, strengthening and creation of distribution network

from source to the farm

d) Ground water development in the areas where it is abundant, so that sink is

created to store runoff/ flood water during peak rainy season

17

e) Improvement in water management and distribution system for water bodies to

take advantage of the available source which is not tapped to its fullest capacity

(deriving benefits from low hanging fruits). At least 10% of the command area to be

covered under micro/precision irrigation

f) Diversion of water from source of different location where it is plenty to nearby

water scarce areas, lift irrigation from water bodies/rivers at lower elevation to

supplement requirements beyond IWMP and MGNREGS irrespective of irrigation

command

g) Creating and rejuvenating traditional water storage systems like Khatri, Kuhl etc.

at feasible locations.

3. PMKSY (Per Drop More Crop)

a) Programme management, preparation of State/District Irrigation Plan,

approval of annual action plan, Monitoring etc.

b) Promoting efficient water conveyance and precision water application devices

like drips, sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns in the farm (Jal Sinchan)

c) Topping up of input cost particularly under civil construction beyond

permissible limit (40%), under MGNREGS for activities like lining inlet,

outlet, silt traps, distribution system etc.

d) Construction of micro irrigation structures to supplement source creation

activities including tube wells and dug wells (in areas where ground water is

available and not under semi critical/ critical/ over exploited category of

development) which are not supported under AIBP, PMKSY (Har Khet Ko

Pani), PMKSY (Watershed) and MGNREGS as per block/district irrigation

plan.

e) Secondary storage structures at tail end of canal system to store water when

available in abundance (rainy season) or from perennial sources like streams

for use during dry periods through effective on-farm water management;

f) Water lifting devices like diesel/ electric/ solar pump-sets including water

carriage pipes, underground piping system.

g) Extension activities for promotion of scientific moisture conservation and

agronomic measures including cropping alignment to maximise use of

available water including rainfall and minimise irrigation requirement (Jal

Sanrakshan);

h) Capacity building, training and awareness campaign including low cost

publications, use of pico projectors and low cost films for encouraging

potential use water source through technological, agronomic and management

practices including community irrigation.

i) The extension workers will be empowered to disseminate relevant

technologies under PMKSY only after requisite training is provided to them

especially in the area of promotion of scientific moisture conservation and

agronomic measures, improved/ innovative distribution system like pipe and

box outlet system, etc. Appropriate Domain Experts will act as Master

Trainers.

18

j) Information Communication Technology (ICT) interventions through NeGP-A

to be made use in the field of water use efficiency, precision irrigation

technologies, on farm water management, crop alignment etc. and also to do

intensive monitoring of the Scheme.

4. PMKSY (Watershed Development)

a) Effective management of runoff water and improved soil & moisture

conservation activities such as ridge area treatment, drainage line treatment,

rain water harvesting, in-situ moisture conservation and other allied activities

on watershed basis.

b) Converging with MGNREGS for creation of water source to full potential in

identified backward rainfed blocks including renovation of traditional water

bodies

v. Rationale/ Justification

In reference to the status and need of irrigation, the water resource management

including irrigation related priorities was identified for Mahesana district by the

peoples‟ representatives of district with support from administration and technical

experts. For instance the reports of Strategic Research and Extension Plan (SREP)

prepared under ATMA program, Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP)

prepared as part of Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), Potential Linked Credit

Plans (PLP) of NABARD and the Integrated District Development Plan etc. identified

number of irrigation related issues for Mahesana district including (i) promoting

water use efficiency through sprinkler and drip irrigation; (iii) promoting protected

poly-house cultivation to minimize risk factors and enhance quality and productivity;

(iv) Improvement of on-farm water delivery and efficiency of existing irrigation

systems; (v) promotion of soil conservation of arable & non-arable land through

engineering measures; (vi) creation of new water harvesting structures, check dams,

ponds, tanks, etc. (vii) increase the forest cover in the district and (viii) land

improvement measures.

vi. Methodology

During the course of preparation of District Irrigation Plan (DIP) the team visited

Mahesana district to collect data and have interaction with all the stakeholders.

Methodology adopted to prepare DIP is outlined in brief as under:

Collection of primary and secondary data from multiple sources including

Season and Crop Reports, Statistical Handbook, District Census Handbook and

other published documents and websites of different departments.

Meetings with state government departments and related institutions were held

and meeting through VC was also held with state level authorities.

GIS maps of the area‟s/clusters were studied to understand the land

morphology, topography of the district.

Discussions and interviews were held with officers of agriculture department,

horticulture department, sub division soil conservation office, Agriculture

19

Technology Management Agency (ATMA), District Watershed Development

Agency (DWDA) of District Rural Development Authority (DRDA), Animal

Husbandry department, Water resource department and identified the key

issues and key focus areas of the region. Discussion with District Development

Manager of NABARD for Mahesana district was also held during the visit.

Chapter –I

1 General Information of the District

1.1 District Profile

The Bombay State was bifurcated on 1st May 1960 and separate State of Gujarat and

Maharashtra were formed. Since that date the Mahesana district became a part of

Gujarat State. Mahesana district is an important district in North Gujarat region and

its head quarter, Mahesana is known as “Oil city of India”. The district has Asia‟s

biggest APMC for spices and oil-seed. Total geographical area of the district is 4393

km2. It covers 2.24% of total area of Gujarat State.

Latitude and longitude:

The district headquarter has latitude of 23.588 ˚N and longitude of 72.3693 ˚E. In

the north it is bounded by Banaskantha district, in the south by Ahmedabad district,

in the east by Sabarkantha district and in the west by the Patan district. Table 1.1: District Profile

Administrative Setup:

In the State of Gujarat, the community development blocks are coterminous with the

Talukas. The Talukas contain large number of villages and possibly several towns.

The villages have Village Panchayats to run the local administration. A Village

Panchayat may constitute for one revenue village, several revenue villages or a part of

a large village. Similarly, the towns have Municipality or Municipal Corporation as of

local self-government. The District Collector looks after the general administration,

maintenance of law and order, collection of land revenue and settlement of law

related disputes, civil supplies, district planning, mid-day meal scheme etc. at the

district level. At the Taluka level, Mamlatdar looks after the land development,

revenue collection, civil supplies and law and order. The functions of administration

of law and order, and control and investigation of crime are done by the

Superintendent of Police of the district with the help of Police Stations working

under him.

21

Map 1-1 District Map

The Panchayati Raj institutions are fairly strong and most of the development works

have been transferred to the District Panchayats and its subordinate bodies. The

District Panchayat has an elected President while District Development Officer

appointed by the Government works as its Secretary, who looks after day-to-day

work related to the development. Similarly, at the Taluka level, Taluka Panchayats

have been constituted which have an elected President. The Taluka Development

Officer, placed by the Government as Secretary of the Taluka Panchayats and he

conducts the regular administrative work. Similarly, an elected President heads the

Municipality and the Chief Officer works as the Secretary of the Municipality, who

looks after the day-to-day work.

In case of the large cities, the State Government has constituted Municipal

Corporation, which are headed by an elected Mayor and the Municipal

Commissioner, appointed by the Government, looks after the routine work. At the

Village level, the Sarpanch is the elected Chief and the Talati (Village Mantri) works

as the Secretary to the Village Panchayat and looks after the day-to-day work.

28

capacity. The soils of the district possess neutral (in reaction) soil pH (6.5 to 7.5). The

electrical conductivity of the soil is low. Organic carbon and nitrogen content of the

soil is low, phosphorus content of the soil is medium and high in potassium. So,

overall, the soil fertility indices are poor from the point of view of agriculture. Soils of

some part of Kadi and Bechraji taluka are saline. The major soil related problems are

susceptibility to soil erosion, improper use of chemical fertilizer without

incorporating desired organic fertilizers is another impediment in sustaining soil

health.

CHAPTER III:

3 Water Availability River system of Mahesana district include Khari river and Rupen river. The Khari

river flows in south side of Mahesana city and Rupen river flows in north. Both rivers

meet to the small desert of Kutch. Rivers Rupen and Khari drain part of the district.

Both these rivers are ephemeral in nature and flow only during good monsoon years.

The river Sabarmati forms the eastern boundary of the district with very limited

catchment area in the district. Major part of the area in the district is devoid of any

drainage network and does not fall in any catchment.

Sources of water supply include: Major & medium irrigation canals, Minor irrigation

tanks, Diversion channels, Rain water harvesting structures and Ground water

extraction structures such as bore wells. There are five line irrigation departments

namely Dharoi Naher, Panchayat Irrigation department, Sujlam Suflam, SSNNL &

GWRDC which are engaged in supply & distribution of water mainly for irrigation,

domestic and also for industrial purposes. Nagar Palika, Gram Panchayats and

Drinking water department are responsible for supplying drinking water. However,

to some extent domestic and industrial water requirement is also met from the

private sources.

It can be observed that the major sources of water availability are major & medium

irrigation canals, and bore wells. The total water annual water availability of the

district is 1708.3027 MCM, out of which share of surface water and ground water are

nearly equal to 50%. The water availability in the district is assessed based on the

average annual discharge available in various surface and ground irrigation

structures of various line irrigation departments such as: Dharoi Naher, Panchayat

Irrigation Department, SSNNL, Sujlam Suflam and GWRDC.

The availability of water from treated effluents is also assessed. Presently, there are

no running sewage treatment plants (STP) in the district, and hence the water

availability from treated effluents is zero. There are 6 ongoing projects of Sewage

Treatment Plant (STP) in the district. Further, tenders have been floated for 3

projects of STP units. Details of ongoing and proposed STP projects are given in

Table 3.2.

On completion of above STP projects, the treated water will be mainly used for

irrigation and industrial purposes. Thus, it can be presumed that annual water

availability of 36.368 MCM will be added by the year 2020.

3.2 Status of Ground Water Availability

As per Central Ground Water Board notification 2011, the status ground water in

eight talukas of the district is over exploited, while in one block it is critical. Taluka

wise status of ground water and total draft and recharge details are given in following

It can be observed that the draft of ground water considerably exceeds its recharge in

8 Talukas and is nearly equal in 9th Taluka. This indicates alarming situation for

ground water resource. Thus, the reliance on groundwater needs to be minimized

and more focus should be emphasized on ground water recharge, water use efficiency

and sustainable use of water.

3.2.1 Hydrogeology

Precambrian hard rocks, semi-consolidated Mesozoic and tertiary formations and

unconsolidated quaternary alluvial deposits form multilayer aquifer system in the

district. Groundwater occurs both under phreatic and confined conditions, however

its development is restricted depending upon the aquifer geometry and yield

characteristic of individual aquifer and/or ground water quality of the formation

water. Occurrence of groundwater can be divided in two groups a) Ground water in

fissured formation (Hard rock); b) Groundwater in porous formations

(Sedimentary).

Number of ground water monitoring wells of CGWB (as on 31-03-2012) are 60,

including 16 no of dug wells and 44 no of piezometers. Groundwater occurs in

unconfined to confined condition in Quaternary alluvium and under unconfined

condition in granite gneiss in limited area.

3.2.2 Geomorphology

Major physiographic unit of the district is alluvial plain. Predominant geological

formations include alluvium in major parts, and granite & gneiss in eastern and

north eastern part of district.

a) Dissected hilly terrain: The north eastern part of Satlasana taluka which is made

up of Delhi metasediments and post Delhi intrusives is characterised by high hills

and linear ridges with narrow intermountain valleys.

b) Piedmont plain with inselbergs: A belt of about 20-30 km width fringing the hilly

terrain in the north eastern part of the district is characterised by moderate relief

43

(2m/km) and is comprised of shallow alluvium with boulder/gravel beds and

occasional inliers of older rocks.

c) Alluvial plain: It is a vast sandy tract characterised by gently sloping, slightly

rolling to undulatory topography owing to presence of sand dunes. the most

prominent unit and covers the most part of the district.

Soil types: In major part the soils are sandy in nature. In general the soils are poor to medium in

fertility and water retention capacity. Most soils have good aeration, porosity and

permeability. The hydraulic conductivity of the soils ranges from as low as 0 for

saline and alkali soils in the western part to more than 7cm/hr for calcareous sandy

soils in the north and west. Soils of the district fall in five broad categories as below.

I) Saline and alkali soils: These are typically deep, grey calcareous sandy clay loams

of low permeability.

II) Calcareous sandy loams: These are generally Deep, light grey or brown sandy

loams of moderate to good permeability and drainage.

III) Calcareous sandy soils: These are mostly pale yellow and brown sands & loamy

sands of good depth and high permeability.

IV) Non calcic brown soils: These are characterised by pale brown to brown deep

loamy sands and sandy loams of adequate to good permeability.

V) Non calcic red brown soils: These are of mixed colluvial and alluvial derivations

from rocks of the Aravali system. Mostly deep loamy sands to sandy loams with

adequate to good hydraulic conductivity.

3.3 Status of Command Area

The command area in the district can be categorized as Canal command and other

services command, which encompasses command created by ponds, tanks and tube

wells.

CHAPTER IV:

4 Water Requirement / Demand The earlier Chapters deals with the general profile, water profile and water

availability in Mehsana district. The present chapter deals with the current (2015)

and projected (2020) demand for water from various sectors. The demand has been

worked out on the basis of data collected from different departments which has

already been presented in previous chapters. The unit for volume of water has been

chosen as million cubic meters (MCM) instead of Billion cubic meters as suggested in

the guidelines.

4.1 Domestic Water Demand

To assess present population (2015) and future population (2020), an annual growth

rate of 2% is assumed. To assess water demand, requirement of 100 lpcd for rural

and 140 lpcd for urban are assumed.

4.3 Livestock Water Requirement

As mentioned in section 1.3, the annual growth in livestock population can be

presumed to be 6.24%, based on livestock census 2007 & 2012. Accordingly, the

present livestock population (2015) and future livestock population (2020) is

assessed. The table below represents the animal wise water requirement as well as

total water requirement of the district for animals.

It has been assumed that the existing water potential is equal to present water

demand of livestock. Thus, the water potential to be created implies the quantum of

water availability to be created to meet livestock water demand in 2020. It can be

observed that water potential to be created is to the tune of 6.31 MCM for Mahesana

district.

For calculating the livestock water demand, Water requirement for each of the

animal is estimated based on the following assumption as per the secondary data

received from Animal husbandry department.

4.4 Industrial Water Requirement

Presently, there are two water consuming industries operating in the district, while 4

more industries have been recently sanctioned. It can be observed from the following

table that total water potential to be created by 2020 is 4.754 MCM.

4.5 Water Demand for Power Generation

The district is not having any thermal or nuclear power plant where water may be

consumed. Therefore, demand of water for power generation has been taken as nil.

4.6 Total Water Demand of the district for various sectors

This section presents the total water demand of the district and has been calculated

by summing up all major sectors consuming water.

Table 4.8: Total water demand

Components Total MCM Domestic Crop Livestock Industrial Power

52

It can be observed that the total present water demand from various sectors is

2113.1535 MCM, while future water demand (2020) is 2132.3975 MCM.

4.7 Water Budget

A total of 872.0627 MCM surface water and 836.24 MCM ground water is available

in Mehsana district. It can be observed that based on present and projected water

demand (2020), and present water availability (surface & ground), the present water

gap is to the tune of 404.851 MCM, and projected water gap (2020) is to the tune of

424.095 MCM. However, water availability of 36.368 MCM will be added by 2020

through ongoing and proposed STP units. So, the projected water gap (2020) shall be

to the tune of 387.727 MCM.

AIBP component is to be executed mainly by Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd.

(SSNNL). Har Khet ko Pani component will be implemented by Nodal Irrigation

Department, SSNNL, GWRDC and GLDC. Per drop more crop component will be

executed by GWRDC and GGRC. Water shed component will be taken care of by the

Rural Development Department through GSWMA and extension & training

component will be executed by ATMA. However, all the stakeholders need to have

54

coordination among themselves to have the maximum irrigation efficiency and to

avoid duplicity.

Figure 5.1: Component wise Fund Distribution under PMKSY

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY)-Watershed Component

PMKSY-Watershed Component (erstwhile named as Integrated Watershed

Management Programme) is one of the flagship program of Govt. of India. The main

objectives of this is to restore the ecological balance by harnessing, conserving and

developing degraded natural resources such as soil, vegetative cover and water.

Gujarat is one of the largest States in context of land area treatment under PMKSY-

Watershed project. The important activities carried out under this projects are Soil

moisture conservation, Water harvesting, Vegetative cover and Plantation,

Agricultural production and Productivity improvement, Dairy development, Agro

processing, Livelihood and Income Generating Activities etc. In Gujarat PMKSY-

Watershed component is implemented through a State Level Nodal Agency

constituted as Gujarat State Watershed Management Agency (GSWMA), an

autonomous society supported under the Rural Development Department (RDD) of

Government of Gujarat. GSWMA has vision of “Enhancing the quality of rural

population through Sustainable, Equitable and Participatory Natural resources

Management” and also has Mission of “Creating sustainable rural livelihoods

through scientific and Integrated Watershed Development Approach”. GSWMA

works in all the 33 districts of Gujarat. GSWMA planned to cover all the micro-

watersheds (at village level) of the state in the next 18 years.

Thus it will cover all the talukas of the state. Total 610 no. of PMKSY-Watershed

Component projects under six batches covering 31.04 lakh hectors of land are

currently under implementation. GSWMA has its own structural arrangements

from state to village level for implementation of program and has system of internal

monitoring of project activities through different means. GSWMA has its own web

based monitoring system as Soil Water Resource Management System (SWaRSys).

The said system is online and helps not only for the monitoring/documentation of all

the main project activities but also facilitates to collect and collate monthly and

quarterly data from District level offices. For preparation of DIP, the watershed

component information is collected from various levels and incorporated in this

document for the years 2016-20.

and outcomes will be reported in web based MIS of PMKSY for review at state and

national level. Some of the key indicators that will be used to monitor and evaluate

the progress of PMKSY include:

Annual irrigation water supply per unit irrigated area measured as the ratio of

total volume of irrigation water supplied at intake divided by total area

irrigated in all seasons

Potential created and utilized measured as the ratio of total potential utilised

(measured crop area) to irrigation potential created

Output (agricultural production) per unit irrigated area measured as the ratio

of total value of agriculture production divided by the total irrigated area.

Output (agricultural production) per unit irrigation water supply measured as

the ratio of total value of agriculture production divided by the total volume of

irrigated water supplied

Total Operations & Maintenance (O&M) cost per unit irrigated area measured

as the total Management, Operation and Maintenance (MOM) costs for the

system divided by total area irrigated (potential utilised).

Total Operations & Maintenance (O&M) cost per unit volume of water

supplied measured as total Management, Operation and Maintenance (MOM)

costs for the system divided Total volume of water supplied (all uses)

Equity performance measured as actual area irrigated in head, middle and tail

divided by Command area in head, middle and tail.

5.5 Output & Outcome

5.5.1 Additional Area to be irrigated

During the upcoming four financial years, an additional area of 80,555 ha area will

be irrigated under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinachyi Yojna. Out of 80,555 ha, area of

55,722 hectares will be covered by the various Water Resource Departments (Dharoi

Naher, Panchayat Irrigation Department, GWRDC, SSNNL and Sujlam Suflam), area

of 15,503 ha by Gujarat Green Revolution Company Ltd. (GGRC), area of 3899 ha by

5.5.3 Increase in the income of farmers

Increase in the income of farmers on account of proposed interventions is assessed

by multiplying additional income of farmer per hectare with the additional area to be

brought under irrigation (ha). It is assumed that income of agriculture labourer

increases by Rs 284 per hectare of additional area irrigated, on account of

employment generated. Therefore, increase in the income of agricultural labourers is

assessed to be Rs 228.77 Lakhs.

5.6 Suggestions

For successful implementation of PMKSY plan it is suggested that:

All the stakeholders should convene meeting of Panchayat Samities and then

finalise the village plan and prepare DPR.

There should not be any duplicity of project.

The Department should supplement each other so that the maximum irrigation

efficiency is achieved.

Agriculture and Horticulture Department should take micro irrigation projects

in the command of minor irrigation projects which are either completed or

likely to be completed in near future.

59

All the irrigation projects should have a component of water conveyance so that

the each drop of water is judiciously utilized.

Where ever feasible, Solar pump sets should be installed.

All the structures planned should be geo tagged and marked on map, so that

social monitoring of the projects can be conducted. This will also avoid the

duplicity.

Priority should be given to projects to minimize the gap in potential created and

potential utilized.

Execution of the scheme should be expeditiously completed.

There should be smooth fund flow for timely completion of the project and to

avoid cost escalation.
