A Brief Report

NIRD&PR and NWM (MoWR) Collaborative Off- Campus Training Programme on Water Use

Efficiency, Equity through Participatory Irrigation Management was conducted during

September 19 – 23, 2016 at State Institute of Rural Development, SPIPA Campus; Ahmedabad-

380015.

Water is one of the most indispensable of all natural resources; it is essential for human

beings, economic development and biological diversity. Irrigation provides some 40% of the

world’s food from only 17% of the global cropped area. 2,400 million people depend on irrigated

agriculture for food and livelihood. Water development is critical for food security in many regions

of the world. Irrigation has stabilized food production and prices by enabling greater production

control and scope for crop diversification. Irrigated agriculture is dominant user of water

accounting for 80 percent of water consumption. Water allocation refers to the rules and procedures

through which access to water is decided for individual or collective use, and in relation to

availability. Water use efficiency is generally defined as “the socially beneficial reduction of water

use or water loss. It simply implies that, water use is optimized over a medium to long term time

horizon; water resource use and protection are given equal concern; external social, environmental

and economic effects of water use are taken into account. Tradeoffs must be conscientiously made

to achieve net social benefit. Social and economic planning are integral to water use management;

and circumstances and context are important factors. Reducing water use or water loss is the other

main concept of increasing water use efficiency. This implies that; more water is used than is

needed, attention to water demand is as important as water supply; and water can be used more

efficiently. Water use efficiency is not simply a matter of using less water through restrictions. It is

about careful management of water supply sources, use of water saving technologies, reduction of

excessive demand and other actions. The term participatory irrigation management refers to the

participation of users –the farmers in the management of the irrigation system. The Handbook on

PIM defines Participatory Irrigation Management as the involvement of irrigation users in all

aspects of irrigation management, and at all levels. A more comprehensive variant of PIM is

Irrigation Management Transfer (IMT).Water allocation refers to the rules and procedures through

which access to water is decided for individual or collective use, and in relation to availability

With following Objectives:

1. To discuss the issues concerning the water use efficiency and equity in the country and

identify suitable options.

2. To equip the functionaries of water resource departments, based on the issues

3. To enhance farmers role in equity ownership from conventional to government policy.

The programme was inaugurated by Director, Dr. B. H. Patel, IFS, Director, State Institute

of Rural Development, SPIPA Campus, Ahmedabad-380015. Dr Siddayya, Course Director,

presented the need of course, course design and Water Use Efficiency, Equity through Participatory

Irrigation Management and the present status of WUE, PIM in India. The following topics were

covered during five days of deliberations such as Role and Objectives of NWM, Management of

Water Resources, Water use efficiency, Improving the Efficiency of Canal Networks : Issues and

Options, Improving the Efficiency of Minor Irrigation: Issues and Options, Catchment Area

Protection : Issues and Options, Strategies for Improving Supply Side Management of

and PIM for equity of water, Institutional Performance and Sustainability, Delegation of Powers to

WUAs: Operational and Financial and Best Practices: Group Discussion. Augmentation, efficiency

in use, Operation and Maintenance, Delivery mechanisms, Repair, Restoration and Renovation.

Governing Issues like transparency, delivery etc., WUAs: Organisational Issues, Capacities,

rehabilitation processes, sharing mechanisms, riparian system, utilisation of funds, planning of

works, convergence between project committee and executive committee, Procedures for collection

of water tax, role of irrigation regulatory committee (agriculture, revenue, irrigation and farmers

representatives and PIM and WUAs: Collective Action, Social capital:-leadership, community

cohesion. Shri M Satyanarayana, Advisor, NWM, MoWR, GoI, New Delhi addressed the

participants on the role and responsibility of MoWR, GR and RD.

Learning from the field visit:

As a part of training, One day field visit to NARMADA Command was made to understand the

Water Use Efficiencies and PIM, The role and responsibility of Water User Association for

management and sustainability of water. The network channels in NARMADA Command, Water

User Association water sharing and fees collection from the user beneficiaries. Team found WUAs

were effectively collecting user fees and functioning in the different commonds such as Head reach,

Middle reach and Tale-end farmers. It was also learnt that the volumetric release of water to feeder

canal was working well by covering the total potential irrigated area. The participants also

interacted with the WUAs members and clarified with them about various issues related to PIM and

role of WUAs in Management of Water resources and the participants were motivated by their

effort towards effective water management.

Participants:

The total of 33 participants attended in different capacity of Irrigation and Water Resource

Department of Government of Maharashtra namely Engineers from Irrigation department, Officers

from Horticulture department, ASCo from S&WC Department, DRDA officials, WUA Presidents,

and NGOs. During the training programme, various innovative, best practices of WUAs models,

PIM etc were discussed.

On the whole, the programme delivery was found useful by the participants and the same feedback

has been given in our in house online training evaluation assessment and as well as by Advisor. The

performance of training was found 96 per cent.

A Brief Report

NIRD&PR and NWM (MoWR) Collaborative Off- Campus Training Programme on Water

Resources Management for Sustainable Development was conducted during December 20-24,

2016 at SIRD, Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

Water resources management is a systematic process for the sustainable development, allocation

and monitoring of water resource use in the context of social, economic and environmental

objectives. WRM is based on the understanding that all the different uses of finite water resources

are interdependent. WRM is hence a “process which promotes the coordinated development and

management of water, land and related resources in order to maximize the resultant economic and

social welfare in an equitable manner, without compromising the sustainability of vital

ecosystems.” Water resources management is one of the most important challenges the world faces.

It is difficult to think of a resource more essential to the health of human communities or their

economies than water (R. Warren Flint, 2004). The demand for water resources is continuing to

increase. This increase is being driven not only by a growing world population but also by the

aspirations of that population for an ever increasing standard of living (Bartlett, 1999).

Water is a crucial, but often overlooked element in sustainable development. Water is a key

driver of economic and social development while it also has a basic function in maintaining the

integrity of the natural environment. However water is only one of a number of vital natural

resources and it is imperative that water issues are not considered in isolation. Water is at the core

of sustainable development and is critical for socio-economic development, healthy ecosystems and

for human survival itself. It is vital for reducing the global burden of disease and improving the

health, welfare and productivity of populations. Sustainable development is defined as

“development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future

generations to meet their own needs.” Water is a common good, essential for life. We all have

responsibility to respect water as a basic resource and use it wisely. Article 24 of the UN

Convention on the Rights of the Children states that, children have the right to clean water. The

Million Development Goals includes the target of reducing by half the proportion of the people

without sustainable access to safe drinking water. The availability of an adequate quantity of good

quality of water has numerous implications for economic, social and environmental viability of

member regions and is therefore essential to their sustainable development.

With following Objectives:

1. To educate the participants for conservation and development of water resource;

2. To train them for efficient management of water resource for sustainable

development;

3. To teach them the linkage between poverty and environmental degradation and role

of water resource management;

4. To impart knowledge on local institutional mechanisms for efficient utilization of

water resource for optimum benefit;

The programme was inaugurated by Deputy Director and Dr Amita Patra, Assistant Director,

SIRD, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Dr Siddayya, Course Director, presented the need of course, course

design and the importance of Water Resources Management for Sustainable Development in India

and Developing world. The following topics were covered during five days of deliberations:

National Water Policy, Role and Objectives of NWM, Management of Water Resources, Water

Audit In Irrigation Projects, Supply Side Management of Surface and Ground Water, Demand

Side Management of Surface and Groundwater, Catchment Area Protection : Issues and Options,

Best Practices/Success stories discussion of water management. Management of Water Resources,

Proper mechanisms for conservation include soil and water conservation practices, distribution,

augmentation and efficiency in use. Operation and Maintenance, Delivery mechanisms, Repair,

Restoration and Renovation. Governing Issues like transparency, delivery etc., WUAs:

Organisational Issues, Capacities, rehabilitation processes, sharing mechanisms, riparian system,

utilisation of funds, planning of works, convergence between project committee and executive

committee, Procedures for collection of water tax, role of irrigation regulatory committee

A Brief Report

NIRD&PR and NWM (MoWR) Collaborative Off- Campus Training Programme on Orientation

and exchange programme of difficult and over exploitation areas of management of water resources

through conservation, distribution and efficient use was conducted during January 20-25, 2017 at

HIRD, NILOKHERI, KARNAL DISTRICT (HARYANA)

Water is the most precious asset on earth. In fact Water is one of prime natural resources

and a basic human, animal and crop need. Schemes for development of water resources for

beneficial use of the society have been taken up and considerable progress has been made in

respect of water resources development in India after independence through various Plans and

such developments have helped in almost fivefold increase in creation of irrigation potential.

However, growing population, urbanization and industrialization has led to considerable increase

in demand of water for various purposes e.g., irrigation, domestic needs, industrial requirements

etc. Overexploitation of groundwater and intensive irrigation in major canal commands has posed

serious problems for groundwater managers in India. Depletion of water tables, saltwater

encroachment, drying of aquifers, groundwater pollution, water logging and salinity, etc. is major

consequences of overexploitation and intensive irrigation. All these issues are expected to reduce

the fresh water availability for irrigation, domestic and industrial uses. If this trend continues

unchecked, India is going to face a major water crisis in the near future.

According to the increase of country’s population on one hand and over exploitation of

water on other hand forced the governments to conserve and secure of water for current and future

needs. Water conservation forms a variety of approaches, starting from public education and

publicity programs to saving water technology development. Public awareness is one of the most

essential and cost effective components of water conservation. It demands the participation and

cooperation of all stakeholders like consumers, suppliers and policy makers. It is also essential

that the public should be made aware of the importance of water in their lives, cost of producing

and delivering of water, the status of water resources availability, and its role in water resources

conservation for future generations. With following Objectives:

1. To enable the participants to understand the severity of over exploitation of water and its

impact.

2. To enable the participants to understand the management of water resources includes

proper mechanisms for conservation, distribution, augmentation and efficient use.

The programme was inaugurated by Senior Faculty Dr Kamaldeep Sangwan, HIRD,

NILOKHERI, KARNAL DISTRICT (HARYANA). Dr Siddayya, Course Director, presented the

need of course and course design and Orientation and exchange programme of difficult and over

exploitation areas of management of water resources in India. The following topics were covered

during five days of deliberations such as Importance and present status of water resource in India,

highlights of National Water Mission, Management of Water Resources, National Water Policy:

Issues and Options, Over exploitation of water- impact, issues and concerns, Water use Efficiency

Methods in different Hydrological Areas, Community Irrigation Management, Operation Plan for

Better Water Management through GIS, DIP under PMKSY, Institutions for Water Conservation,

Catchment Protection and Management, Role of WUAs and PIM in Water Management, An

Economic Instruments for Irrigation Management: A Case Studies in the Indian Context,

Irrigation Scheduling for different cropping system.

Learning from the field visit:

As a part of training, One day field visit was made to understand the management of water

resource in Haryana and Punjab. The participants were found during disproportionate and over

exploitation of water resource in these states. They were made understand how we can manage

these exploited resources in best and judicious manner. It was also learnt that the community

level management of resources is more effective than the field level management as well as

individual level management by covering the total potential irrigated area. The participants also

interacted with the officials, villagers and different stake holders.

Participants:

The total of 22 participants attended in different capacity of Irrigation and Water Resource

Department of Government of Haryana namely Engineers from Irrigation department, Officers

from Horticulture department, ASCo from S&WC Department, DRDA officials, WUA

Presidents, and NGOs. During the training programme, various innovative, best practices of

Water Resource Management models by different organisations, NGOs and Community managed

water bodies were discussed and hands on experience through field visit was learnt. The

participants were covered across the department, caste and gender. The participants’ category

Male (16), Female (6), general (16), SC (4) and BC (2).

On the whole, the programme delivery was full filled as per the participants’ requirement

and the same feedback has been given in our in house online training evaluation assessment. The

performance of training was found 90 per cent.

A Brief Report

NIRD&PR and NWM (MoWR) Collaborative Off- Campus Training Programme on Exchange

programme on Participatory Irrigation Management, Advocating, Adoption/Enactment and

Motivation of WUAs was conducted during February 6-10, 2017 at YASHADA, PUNE (M.S.)

Judicious management of water resources is among the critical policy issues across the

country, due to the absence of proper mechanisms for conservation, distribution, augmentation

and efficient use. To counter this problem, number of States in India has transferred the irrigation

management responsibilities to Water User Associations (WUA) or Private/NGO Contractors

during the second half of 1990s. None of the States have concentrated much to conserve water.

Despite, watershed interventions being implemented in rainfed, wasteland and drought prone

areas, the conservation of water in irrigated command areas is little tricky in nature due to hydro

geological entity of the areas. However, the effectiveness of these institutional arrangements

includes water conservation mechanisms that need to be assessed. Therefore, there is a need for

strategizing the introduction of Participatory conservation, allocation and distribution of water.

Among other demands crop-water budgeting, assessment and assured water supply ensure critical

significance for Participatory Irrigation Management. Hence, this course seeks to equip the

participants with the needed skills for promotion of Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) in

sustainable manner.

With following Objectives:

1. To enable the participants to understand the management of water resources including

proper mechanisms for conservation, distribution, augmentation and its efficient use.

2. To equip them with skills for the operation and maintenance of the system in tune to pool

resources (both financial and human resources), delivery mechanism and repair,

restoration and renovation of the system and

3. To familiarise them with the comprehensive assessment of the Water User Associations

(WUA) legislation and identify its feasibility and practicability in terms of

implementation.

The programme was inaugurated by Director (i/c), SIRD, YASHADA, Pune. Dr Siddayya,

Course Director, presented the need of course and course design and PIM through WUAs, the

present status in India. The following topics were covered during five days of deliberations:

Introduction to the PIM, Concepts, scope of PIM and highlights of National Water Mission.

Management of Water Resources, Proper mechanisms for conservation include soil and water

conservation practices, distribution, augmentation and efficiency in use. Operation and

Maintenance, Delivery mechanisms, Repair, Restoration and Renovation. Governing Issues like

transparency, delivery etc., WUAs: Organisational Issues, Capacities, rehabilitation processes,

sharing mechanisms, riparian system, utilisation of funds, planning of works, convergence

between project committee and executive committee, Procedures for collection of water tax, role

of irrigation regulatory committee (agriculture, revenue, irrigation and farmers representatives and

PIM and WUAs: Collective Action, Social capital:-leadership, community cohesion. Shri M

Satyanarayana, Advisor, NWM, MoWR, GoI, New Delhi addressed the participants on the role

and responsibility of MoWR, GR and RD.

Learning from the field visit:

As a part of training, One day field visit was made to understand the management and

sustainability of Water User Association, water sharing and fees collection from the user

beneficiaries. Team found WUAs were effectively collecting user fees and functioning in the

different commonds such as Head reach, Middle reach and Tale-end farmers. It was also learnt

that the volumetric release of water to feeder canal was working well by covering the total

potential irrigated area. The participants also interacted with the WUAs members and clarified

with them about various issues related to PIM and role of WUAs in Management of Water

resources and the participants were motivated by their effort towards effective water management.
