Description ABSTRACT
Odisha, being one of the poorest states in India, has almost 80% of its habitants living in rural
areas where they depend on agriculture and allied activities for earning livelihoods. Agriculture sector
is suffering due to application of unscientific methods, non-availability of irrigation facilities and
scanty rainfall. Since people have changed their occupation from forest based activities to agriculture,
paddy is one of the major cereals (crop) of the farmers of Orissa, Green gram, Black gram, Horse
gram, Brinjal (eggplant), Onion, Potato and other vegetable crops are supplementary to the major
crop. All these varieties needs water for increase in production and even to protect the crop itself.
Only 20% of the total cultivable land in Odisha is covered under irrigation projects and the rest 80%
depend on the vagaries of rainfall. Moreover, there are precious few facilities for proper harvesting of
rain water. Every year there is a need of 1300 m.m to 1600 m.m. of rain for Kharif crop. Though
Odisha witnesses more than 1300 m.m rain fall but due to its irregular and erratic nature the farmers
are facing drought like situations almost every year.
The current paper dealt with an evaluation of water management through community
participation and emergence of pani panchayat in a case study onDETAILED ANALYSIS ON PANI
PANCHAYAT OF BOREWELL OF KHURDA DISTRICT, with broad objectives of this paper is to
examine the functioning and otherwise of water user association (wua) or pani panchayat promoted by
the state and the local traditional irrigation institutions in the hca, Orissa and to evaluate their
functioning & characteristics in the context of local water management. the precise objectives are; (1)to analytically review the Orissa farmers management of irrigation systems act and study the
functioning of the pani panchayat, (2) to examine about the peoples participation and their liveliness,
(3) the apparatus of water management and control, and its impact of such management on
productivity among the members and (4) to recommend policy interventions to make the formal
institutions more successful. The paper concludes that the pani panchayat as regulatory institutions in
charge of water distribution on equitable basis, their performance has been reasonably weak and
unsuccessful. Even though Pani Panchayat has been initiated and endorsed in the state for more than a
couple of years, the acceptance of the model have been lethargic and scattered. As Pani Panchayat is a
new concept needing enough experimentation and experience before finalization of its content and
constituent in greater detail, the irrigation agency is not in a position to spell out the different
component of the programme in concrete terms, the farmers should be informed accordingly.
Otherwise frequent changes in the provisions will give a confusing picture to the farmers and they
will lose confidence in the irrigation authority. A detailed action plan should be prepared in
consultation with the water users through participatory rural appraisal method. A feasibility
study should be under taken by examining the caste class conflict, groupism, political differences and
history of confrontation and conflict if any.
