The 4 (L) distributory of Pollachi main canal, Parambikulam-Aliyar-Palar (PAP) basin
has been selected for an in-depth water management study. The project area has been divided into
two zones namely, A zone and B zone. Each zone would get water from the canal system once in
every two years. From the analysis of rainfall data of the rain gauge stations located in
Parambikulam-Aliyar-Palar basin, it was observed that there was a wide temporal and spatial
variability in annual rainfall over the years. The lowest annual rainfall recorded was 210.6 mm
(over the plain) in 2003 and the highest of 5346.4 mm (in the hills) in 2007. The average annual
rainfall for the period 1988-2010 was 1372.1 mm. The irrigation water requirement for the crops
grown in the 4 (L) distributory was estimated using AquaCrop3.1 model for the years 2000-2010.
The total irrigation water requirement during deficit rainfall year (2002) was 58.4 percent which
is higher compared to normal year (2008). During the excess rainfall year (2007), the demand
was 5.32 percent lower than the normal year demand. Therefore, the conjunctive use management
of surface and groundwater resources in a command area can play a significant role in managing
water by distributing the water throughout the season, while also maintaining the long-term
sustainability of groundwater resources.
