Farmers’ Participation for Effective Utilization of Water Resources in Lift Irrigation Schemes in Rainfed Areas - Management Issues and Scope for Improvement Rao K.V., Rao I.

Rama, Sahu R.K.1 Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad-500 009, Andhra Pradesh 1Indira Ghandi Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Raipur-492010, Chattisgarh Online published on 22 July, 2013. Abstract Participation of water users’ association in the management of irrigation systems is considered essential, particularly in lift irrigation schemes which are crucial source of augmented water supply in rainfed areas. The present study was undertaken in Amarachinta and Kanuparthy lift irrigation schemes in the state of Andhra Pradesh with the aim of exploring the role of farmer's participation in effective utilization of water resources in lift irrigation command areas and management issues. The study was based on the field data collected from the concerned government departments and farmers of these lift irrigation schemes, located in two different districts of Andhra Pradesh, India. Chosen parameters for assessing the impact of participation of farmers in the management include improvement in water use efficiencies (WUE), irrigation efficiency, project water efficiency, TFV, fee collection performance, sustainability factor of command area, fund flow and utilization etc. The increase in irrigation efficiency was from 46 to 81per cent. It was mainly due to the transfer of management from government to the beneficiary society in Kanuparthy LIS. These two LISs were successfully operated and maintained by beneficiary societies. The beneficiary societies of LISs were financially sound and ready to meet any contingency. Not Available |
