Executive Summary
Water is of vital importance for human & animal life, for maintaining ecological balance and for
developmental efforts. With the ever increasing demand for water due to population growth,
urbanization and industrialization, making water available to multiple uses, planning and management
of water resources and utilization of water economically, optimally and equitably assumes greater
significance. Government of India formulated PMKSY with the vision of extending the coverage of
irrigation (Har Khet Ko Pani) and improving water use efficiency (More Crop Per Drop) in a focused
manner with end to end solution on water resource creation, distribution, management, field application
and extension activities. Under PMKSY an integrated planning and management of water resources,
through estimation of water budget for each of the district and sub districts and preparation of strategic
action plan to address the water gap through District Irrigation Plan (DIP) was envisaged. The present
report presents the District Irrigation Plan under PMSY in Kinnaur District.
Further, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) incentivizes states to enhance
expenditures on irrigation and water resources management by making the access to PMKSY funds to
states conditional i.e., state will have access only if the 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.
PMKSY will be implemented in area development mode only by adopting a ‘decentralized State level
planning and projectised execution’ structure that will allow States to draw up their own irrigation
development plans based on DIPs and SIPs with a horizon of 5-7 years. A three tier structure at
national, state and district level will oversee implementation and coordination of the program. The
District Level Implementation Committee will form the third tier of the PMKSY. The DLIC will be
chaired by the Deputy Commissioner, Kinnaur and comprises of the Departments of Agriculture,
Horticulture, District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Irrigation and Public Health Department,
Forest Department, Lead bank of the District and any other line Departments in the District. The DLIC
will oversee the implementation and inter-departmental coordination at district level.

District Water Profile: Kinnaur district is entirely rural where households are predominantly
dependent on agriculture and allied activities for their livelihood. The gross cropped area in the district
is 21,425 ha (9,017 hectares is under agricultural crops and 12,408 ha is under horticultural plantations).
The natural water sources and irrigation infrastructure in the district contributes to an irrigated area of
59.35 percent in case of agricultural crops and 67.5 percent for horticulture plantations. Kalpa and Pooh
block have more than 70 percent of the area under irrigation due to their close proximity to snow-
capped mountains and glaciers which irrigate the agricultural lands downstream. However, in case of
Nichar block the crops are predominantly dependent on rains for irrigation. ). Kharif season is the main
cropping season in the district as about 83 percent (7,602 ha) of the arable area is utilised in cultivation
of various agricultural crops. Vegetables are the main agricultural crop cultivated in the district (36
percent area) followed by cereals (25 percent area), Coarse cereals (16.6 percent area) and pulses (16.4
percent). Oilseeds are cultivated in a negligible area of 4 ha in Kinnaur. Nearly 67 per cent of Kharif
cropped area is irrigated and during rabi season 29.3 per cent of the area is irrigated. Considering the
topography of Kinnaur, where land is a inelastic resource increasing the irrigation potential further is
the key to increasing the production and productivity of crops.
Crop Diversification: The crop diversification process initiated in 1960 and 1970s gained momentum
in the state of Himachal Pradesh including in Kinnaur district in 1990 and 2000. Further diversification
potential exists in different parts of the state and may be promoted through actively expanding irrigation
facilities in the state. This process will ensure that farmers receive decent income while the existing
food grain production takes care of the food security needs of the households. In Kinnaur district, the
crop diversification potential of the different blocks vary. For instance in the blocks of Kalpa and Pooh
the crop diversification is already fairly advanced and further improvement in farm income is possible
through quality improvement. In Nichar block diversification has begun and there is potential for more
area expansion in terms of growing fruits and vegetables by shifting area away from food grains
production. Integrated farming consisting of crop cultivation, dairy and fishery may be promoted in
the district.
Yield per Hectare of Major Crops: The yield levels of major crops in the district is higher in irrigated
conditions than under Rainfed conditions. Further, the absolute levels of yields reported in the district
are slightly lesser than the state average yields or potential yields as per the package of practices
recommended by the state agricultural university. By enhancing the water resources availability for
irrigation purpose through rainwater harvesting, soil & water conservation measures, the productivity
of crops can be enhanced further.

Availability of water sources: Kinnaur district falls under High Hills Dry temperate zones. The district
receives rainfall from the month of June till September. The district receives moderate rainfall, out of
which 75% occurs during monsoon period i.e. June to Sept. The parts of upper Kinnaur receive more
snowfall than the rainfall. The district receives heavy snowfall from November till March or sometimes
April. Snow fall in the higher reaches and rain fall in the lower areas recharge the ground water. Satluj
and spiti are the major rivers which flow through the district providing surface water. Further, springs,
nallahs and Khads are the other main sources for the irrigation and water supply in the district. Kinnaur
district has springs whose yield varies from 0.5 to 15 liters per second. In Kullu valley, ground water
generally occurs under confined to semi confined conditions. The district being hilly and mountainous,
traditional sources of ground water, mainly springs, has played a major role since past in providing
assured irrigation and water supply.
Including all the water sources, Kinnaur district has an estimated water source availability of 7.40
million cubic meters out of which 7.24 mcm (or 97.8%) is surface water and the rest 0.154 mcm (or
2.2%) is ground water.
Existing Type of Irrigation: In Kinnaur district close to 255 irrigation works were supplying water to
households for domestic and irrigation purpose. Out of the total works, traditional water harvesting
structures account for 71.7 percent and the rest are lift irrigation structures and individual tanks
accounting for 28.3% of the total irrigation works. Kinnaur as a whole does not have any ground water
sources being used for irrigation because of the low potential of ground water in the district. Also, the
number of water extraction devices in the district has been reported to be zero in all the three blocks.
Kuhls, khads and nallah are the major sources of irrigation and are used by farmers to draw water to
their fields under gravity flow by digging channels.
Kuhl system is the major irrigation system in the district, and the water users associations exists at
various pLakhses. In order to, ensure predictable, equitable and reliable distribution of water, their
needs to be sensitization amidst users about people participation in ensuring predictable supply of water
in the kuhl and technological interventions like ensuring sufficient storage capacity to the kuhl
&making head-works of two or three contiguous networks common to reduce maintenance cost for
users.
Page | iv
Demand for water sources: The present water demand of the district has been assessed to be 13.67
MCM annually. Out of the total water demand 10.6 mcm (78 percent) is the requirement from crop
production. Nearly 2.149 mcm is required for domestic and drinking purposes and another 0.9 mcm
(or 6%) is required for livestock water requirement purpose. There is no water requirement for
industries and power generation. Among the blocks Nichar block has highest water requirement with
5.37 mcm (39.2%), followed by Kalpa block with 4.4 mcm (or 32 %) and Pooh block with 1.16 mcm
(or 28.3%).
Water budget in the district: The water budget shows wide gaps between water availability and water
demand in the district. While the availability at present is 7.46 mcm, the present water demand is 13.67
MCM giving rise to an unmet demand of close to 6.21 mcm (or 45.4%). If the existing water availability
is continued the water gap is likely to increase further in future and as a result the unmet demand for
water is likely to go up reaching 13.70 The water budget analysis suggest that urgent efforts are
required to meet the water requirements of the district as the gap is likely to increase in future. Utilizing
the surface & ground water potential in the district, activities that promote ground water re-charge and
soil moisture and water conservation etc. are proposed in the Strategic Action plan, 2016-20 that will
address the challenge.
Component wise planned coverage of area: The strategic action plan envisages to provide assured
irrigation in an additional command area of 5,231.5 hectares. Under the component Hark Het Ko Pani
17 surface minor irrigation schemes, 7 lift irrigation scheme and lining of field channels 30,450 mtr in
length has been planned. This irrigation infrastructure will benefit a command area of 4196.5 ha (80
%) . Under AIBP, one medium Irrigation scheme Ropa to Sisao in Pooh block has been planned which
will contribute to a command area development to the tune of 800 hectares (15 %). The watershed
component is projected to achieve a culturable command area of 140 hectares by creation of 276 new
water harvesting structures, renovation of 4 farm ponds/ kuhls and laying 91 bench and crate wires.
Under, the component per drop more crop efficient water conveyance and precision water application
by 200 sprinkler irrigation structures and 10 drip irrigation structure has been planned. Also secondary
storage structures (60 in no.s), on farm development interventions (laying HDPE pipes) will bring an
addition command area of 95 hectares under assured irrigation.
Department wise planned coverage of area: Department wise, irrigation and public health
department will cover 3,671 ha or 71 percent of planned coverage of area followed by Agriculture
department having a coverage area of 1,410 ha or 26.96 %. The intervention of watershed department
Page | v
will provide irrigation infrastructure in a command area of 140 ha (2.6 %) and horticulture department
will ensure precision water application in an area of 10 ha by installation of 20 drip/ sprinkler structures.
Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) focused on awareness generation and capacity
building of the beneficiary farmers on water distribution, efficient use of water and water saving
technologies etc.
Block wise planned financial outlay: The block wise distribution of budget from 2016-2020 is highest
for Pooh block (Rs 6694.39 Lakh), followed by Kalpa and Nichar having a projected budget of Rs
2028.65 and Rs.1212.85 Lakh respectively.
Component wise planned financial outlay: Total plan for four years works out to Rs. 9935.90 lakh.
Maximum share of Rs.7381.80 lakh (74.29%) is for Irrigation and Public Health Department, followed
by Rural Development Department with Rs.2225.64 lakh (22.40%) and Agriculture Department with
Rs. 324.22 lakh (3.26%). Horticulture Department’s plan for four years is Rs. 4.2 lakh (0.49 %). While
working out the plan, phasing of ongoing irrigation projects has been considered. However, from the
proposal of departments, eligible activities under RIDF will be covered as per the funds requirement
of the State. Projects sanctioned under RIDF XXI for micro irrigation have not been shown separately
as it will be implemented by the Agriculture Department and covered under the plan of the Department.
Capacity building, extension and training is an important component of successful execution of the
plan, therefore, Rs. 103.29 lakh has been proposed in the plan from 2016-17 to 2019-20.
Strategic Action Plan under PMKSY in Kinaur District: The following is a brief statement of the
financial outlay of the activities proposed in the Strategic Action plan, 2016-20 that will address the
challenge of water resource management in Kinnaur District.

Total 4459.226 2151.694 2114.403 1210.577 9935.9
Implementation Time Period: The planned activities and outlay will be spent between 2016-17 and
2017-20 period spending on an average of Rs 9935.90 lakh. Some of the activities may require 5 to 7
years and some other activities relating to extension, small irrigation works etc., are recurring and
hence will have a period of implementation less than a year.
Expected Outcome: The gross sown area of the district is 21,425 ha (including area under
horticulture) of which 13,751 ha is irrigated. Thus there is a gap of 7646 ha which can be converted
from rainfed to area under assured irrigation. As the water requirement of crops for the existing
cropping pattern works out to be 10.58 MCM and if the gross cropped area is to be brought under
irrigation 6.27 MCM water is required. Keeping in view the above constraints a plan to develop
291irrigation structures has been proposed, this will create a water potential of 5503 cubic metre. Also,
under the component Per Drop More Crop, 60 secondary storage structures have been planned in the
district which will create a water potential of 1200 cubic metres in a period of 5 years in the district.
On completion of all the projects proposed under PMKSY a command area of 5,231 ha is likely to be
developed in the district. This is likely to generate an additional income of Rs. 1000 lakh to the farmers
of the district. This is based on the assumption of atleast 50% of potential utilised and Rs. 40000 per
ha incremental income from rainfed to irrigated farming. This is also likely to create 9.1 lakh mandays1
of non-recurring employment and 2100 jobs2 annually on recurring basis. The interventions under
PMKSY will generate an irrigation potential to the tune of 5231 ha in the district as an outcome.
Monitoring and evaluation: 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
1 Non recurring employment is calculated by considering the labour component to be 20 % of the total financial outlay and dividing it by wage rate 2 Recurring employment is calculated by using the rationale that 1 job will be created in 2 hecatre of land irrigated additionally.

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 sectoral 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 will introduce 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 will involve a new scheme for Additional Central Assistance
Page | 2
(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 will, on request,
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 will 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) are:
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
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 term3. 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 study4on the demand for water from

Page | 4
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 sectoral 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 resources5 under an Integrated Water Resource Management framework.
The main objectives of water resource management as delineated in National Water Policy 2012 are:
(i) 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.
(ii) Principle of equity and social justice must inform use and allocation of water.
(iii) 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.
5Ministry of Water Resources, National Water Policy, 2012, Government of India, New Delhi.

(iv) 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.
(v) Water is essential for sustenance of eco-system, and therefore, minimum ecological needs should
be given due consideration.
(vi) 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.
(vii) 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.
(viii) 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.
(ix) 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.
(x) 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.
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 he
indicated that “Each drop of water is precious. Government is committed to giving high priority to
Page | 6
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 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
& 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 fulfillment 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 expenditure in water resource
Page | 7
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 objective 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.
Page | 8
h) Promote extension activities relating to water harvesting, water management and crop alignment for
farmers and grass root level field functionaries.
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) a) To focus on faster completion of ongoing
Major and Medium Irrigation including National Projects.
Page | 9
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. 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 pumpsets 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 Sarankchan); 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
Page | 10
Trainers. 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
VI. Rationale/ Justification In reference to the status and need of irrigation, the water resource management including irrigation
related priorities was identified for Kinnaur 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 Kinnaur district including the (i) protection of crops from abiotic stress factors including
flashfloods; (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 and (vii) land improvement measures.
VII. Methodology During the course of preparation of District Irrigation Plan (DIP) the team visited Kinnaur 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 field from various sources including published
documents and websites.
Various meetings were held to obtain ground level realities and data from key
personnel/stakeholders through structured, unstructured interviews, focused group discussions
etc.
Meetings with various State Government departments and related institutions were held

1.2. Demography
Kinnaur is one of the smallest district in India in terms of population. As per 2011 census, the total
population of the district is 84,121 persons and ranks 620 in India (out of a total Indian districts of
640). The district occupies the 12th / last position in terms of sex ratio among the districts of the state
with a sex ratio of 819 female per 1000 male as compared to the state sex ratio of 972 female per
1000 male. The literacy rate of the district for male population is 87.2 percent, while for female it is
70.96 percent as compared to the state literacy statistics of 89 percent for male and 75.9 percent for
female.
The district has a population density of 13 inhabitants per square kilometre (34 /sq Km). In reality in
a mountainous district like Kinnaur, the density fails to measure the exact pressure of human
population on the resource base; so on the basis of actual inhabited area the population density will
be undoubtedly be much higher than 300. Kalpa block is the biggest block in the district as it accounts
for 39.5 percent of the district’s population, followed by Nichar and Pooh which comprise 33 percent
and 27 percent population of Kinnaur. The district of Kinnaur is predominantly tribal as ST
population accounts for 57.9 percent of the total population of the district followed by 24.5 percent
general population and 17.5 percent SC population. Total number of household in the district is
19,742 out of which 39% are in Kalpa block and 33% in Nichar block.

1.3 Biomass and Livestock
Livestock rearing is the third most important occupation of Kinnaur’s economy after agriculture and
horticulture. In addition to providing milk, meat , hide and wool for commercial purposes the
livestock like yak and Churu (cross of cow and yak) are also used as beast of burdens and for
transportation in the tough terrains of Kinnaur.
Table 1-4 Production of Animal Products in Kinnaur
S.No. Animal Products Production in 2007 Production in 2015
1 Wool 143.38 quintals 142.215 qtl
2 Milk 8.33 tonnes 10.307 tonnes
3 Meat 649 tonnes 100.500 tonnes
4 Egg 7.63 lakh 22.563 Lakh
As per 2011 Livestock Census, the total livestock population of Kinnaur is 1, 37,825, an increase of
8.7 percent from the 2007 livestock population of 1,26,598. Sheeps and goats are the main animals
reared in Kinnaur as they comprise 48.3 percent and 24 percent of total livestock respectively. People
of Kinnaur used to rear hilly cows, sheep and goat which was earlier a major source of income. Now
Crossbred Marino sheep, Angora goats, Jersey cows and hybrid mules introduced in the area have
resulted in substantial improvement in the socio-economic status of the people. Hybrid cows are the
third most reared animal in the district, after goats and sheeps, as they constitute 8.6 percent of
livestock population. Drought animals constitute 5.7 percent of livestock population and drought
animals like yak and Churu are mainly reared in the sangla valley (in Kalpa). Kalpa block accounts
for 54.5 percent of the district poultry population (9,209) followed by Nichaar which has 37 percent.
Green fodder is a major constraint in rearing the milch animals. Therefore grazing of animals in
forests/ pastures has become a practice of the farmers, which increases the pressure on pastures and
forest areas.

1.4 Agro-Ecology, Climate, Hydrology and Topography
Himachal Pradesh is divided into four agro climatic zones. Kinnaur district falls under High Hills
Dry temperate zones. On the basis of criteria’s viz. altitude, rainfall and temperature Kinnaur district
is further divided into three Agro ecological situations as detailed in Table 1.6.

The entire district of Kinnaur comprises of series of mountains, which are punctuated by high passes
ranging in elevation from 5000 to 6500 metres and alternated with a succession of valleys and
pasturelands. The habitable part of Kinnaur is situated at about height ranging from 1220 meters
approximate to 3600 meters above sea level. As per Strategic Research and Extension Plan of Kinnaur
district, the elevation in AES III is more than 2800 metres, and that in AES I ranges between 1400-
2100 metres.

Climate and Rainfall: The climate of different parts of this district depends mainly on the elevation.
The summer season is from March to June. The southwest monsoon season, which follows thereafter,
continues till about the middle of September. The period from mid-September to November
constitutes the post monsoon season or transition period. The winter season is from December to
February
Most of Kinnaur enjoys a temperate climate due to its high elevation, with long winters from October
to March. The lower parts of the Satluj Jitney and the Baspa Valley receive monsoon rains. The upper
areas of the valleys fall mainly in the rain-shadow area. These areas are considered to be arid regions,
similar to the climate of Tibet and 60% of the precipitation is received as snow during winters.
The district receives rainfall from the month of June till September. The marginal shift in
the monsoon pattern has been noticed over the period of years. The average annual rainfall in the
district is 816 mm. However, much of the rainfall is received in parts of lower Kinnaur. There is a
progressive decrease in rainfall as one goes from west to east. The parts of upper Kinnaur receive
more snowfall than the rainfall.
The district receives heavy snowfall from November till March or sometimes April. During this
period, the area remains totally cut-off from rest of the area. The higher peaks of Kinnaur district are
completely covered with snow throughout the year.
Hydrology: Satluj is one of the major rivers systems of the district and the state. Satluj is an
antecedent river having deep and narrow gorges. The river Satluj enters from Tibet at Shiplika into
Page | 20
Kinnaur and forms confluence with its tributary River Spiti at Khab Bridge. Satluj is joined by many
of its tributaries namely Parchhu Nalla, Spiti River, Tithang Nalla, Tinku Nalla, Bhagat Nalla, Shaiso
Khad, Kanam Khad, Kirang Khad, Tidong Khad and Rispa Nalla in Pooh subdivision, Kashang Nalla,
Pangi Nalla, Barang Nalla, Baspa river and its rivulets like Kharogla Nalla, Rupti Nalla, Shong Nalla,
Brua Khad in Kalpa sub-division and Panvi Nalla, Runger Nalla, Yula Nalla, Rukcharang Nalla and
Bhaba Khad in Nichar sub-division. It leaves Kinnaur district and enters Shimla district at Chaura
village cutting across the entire district and finally flows into the Arabian Sea. The Satluj and some
of its tributaries are prone to floods due to GLakhsial Lake Outbursts (due to heavy snow melting or
blockage of the exit), heavy rainfall or Cloud bursts.7

Topography:
Kinnaur is located on the Indo tibetan border, surrounded by Tibet to the east and Garhwal Himalyan
to the south. About 200 km from Shimla is the strikingly beautiful district of Kinnaur where the river
Satluj carved deep gorges through the the high mountains. The Satluj river which rises on the southern
slopes of Kailash mountain near Mansarover in Tibet flows 130 km in Kinnaur. Less rainfall and the
desolate countryside of the district can by compared to that of the Leh and Ladakh region
1.5 Soil Profile
Soil type of Kinnaur is predominantly mountainous in nature. Types and characteristics of the soil
are influenced by several factors viz. slope, altitude, temperature and vegetation etc. GLakhsial
7 Disaster Management Report, Kinnaur
Page | 21
processes have cast quite a pronounced effect on the soil and edaphic conditions in higher reaches.
Fluvio-gLakhsial terraces primarily contain boulders and clay. There is dearth of elluviation owing
to the scanty precipitation in frigid areas. Besides, depth of soil is usually shallow and soil profile is
Poohrly developed.
Soil in Kinnaur is mainly sandy clayey in texture and acidic in nature. Nevertheless, valley soil and
that on uplands present striking variations. Soil in valleys in the form of fine clay and less stony and
is richer in plant nutrient. It is because it has been formed of sediments and detritus material deposited
by Satluj river and its feeders. The soil map clearly indicates that upper Kinnaur has entisol which is
of poor quality and is stony with shallow soil profile. Grass and shrubs grow on this soil, occurring
on steep-slope. Main features of soil in Kinnaur include less developed profile, immaturity, thin cover
and leaching. Soil of Kinnaur can be divided into the following four categories;
(i) Entisols (skeletal soil):
Soil of higher tehsils of Hangrang, Pooh and Morang does fall under category of entisols. It is of
recent origin without well-formed soil horizons. Basically, it is thin soil on unconsolidated gLakhsial
debris. Most of it is not fit for agriculture in pockets near Labrang and Salgiu villages. This area is
near Satluj valley, Entisols are found in Tidong, Gyanthing, Satluj, Spiti, Ropa and Pejur/Taiti river
valleys. Higher altitude of these valleys make growing season short which renders entisols
agriculturally Poohr. Most of these areas remain under snow for more three months. Moreover, the
area lies in the zone III that is the zone of scanty precipitation. Irrigation is hardly possible in this
area as villages are situated higher up streams whereas river valleys are quite narrow and low 1.
(ii) Histosols (snow fields):
The soil type lies in temporary and permanent snowfields at higher altitude, therefore, the area is not
suitable for settlements.This type of soil occupies higher reaches of Kinnaur. Soil of this zone is
representative of cold desert. It has very little nutrients for plant cover and is acidic in nature but
vegetation present has high organic content in upper horizon.
(iii) Mollisols (Mountain meadow soil):
One of the most fertile soil types of Kinnaur. This soil seasonally undergoes freeze and thaw. It is
quite important for apple and other temperate fruits orchards. Soil map clearly indicates that soil
occupies river valleys those of Bhabha, Baspa and Satluj in its lower reaches. That is why Sangla and
Kalpa tehsils are agriculturally better-off. There are two pockets of the soil, one is in extreme south-
eastern comer while other is in lower south-western part of Nichar tehsil. Mollisols has its areal extent
in all three rainfall zones represented in the rainfall map. Environmental factors like climate, terrain,
vegetation cover, soil character, snow cover and soil moisture etc. create considerable variations in
the thickness of soil cover 3.
Page | 22
(iv) Alfisols (submontane soil):
Alfisols lies around the mountain meadow soils and has least aerial coverage. Most of it lies in the
rainfall zone of above 1,000 mm. However, some of its area falls within the zone of 600-1,000 mm
of rainfall. Alfisols are primarily the soil of Nichar tehsil. This soil type occupies south-western
position and happens to be the lowest region in the district. It is a soil of deciduous woodland. This
type of soil is agriculturally very productive for common crops .8

However as per the Agriculture Contingency Plan of Kinnaur the soil of kinnaur is categorised in three
classes viz. sandy loam soils, sandy soils and rock land. The third category, rock land captures 98 percent
area of the district.

As per the recent soil survey by NBSS & LUP (1997), more than 75 per cent of the geographical area
of Kinnaur is suffering from one or other soil degradation problem. The degradation problems, like
water erosion including topsoil loss and terrain deformation, flooding and acidity etc are the most
prominent degradation problems in the district.
Land Slope: Almost the entire districts of Kinnaur (except a narrow strip along the rivers) except
few area of sangla valley and hangrang valley have rock outcrops and very steep slopes. Sangla valley
and Hangrang valley have slope of 8 -25 % and all area of Kinnaur District have >25 % slope As
depicted in the map below, Less than eleven degrees slope in Kinnaur comprises of total 98.2 percent
of total area3.
Map 4 Land slope Map of Kinnaur
Source: An outline of the Geology and Tectonic Evolution of the Western Himalaya
Similarly, 19.14 percent area of Kinnaur lies between 11 to 21 degrees of slope. Maximum area of
Kinnaur (35.3) has 21 to 32 degrees of slope. This is followed by 32 to 42 degrees of slope
which encompasses 28.12 percent area of the district. Likewise, 42 to 53 degrees of slope have 6.89
percent of total area. Above 53 degree slope in Kinnaur has only 0.74 percent area
of the district.9 The block wise details of slope in Kinnaur is as mentioned below:

1.6 Soil Erosion and Run Off
In Kinnaur, big rocks, boulders and stones are common features of its geographical area. . More than
85 per cent of the area is sloppy and prone to soil erosion. Because of fragility, these areas are exposed
to landslides and acute problems of soil erosion. Some man made factors like unbridled exploitation
of forest wealth, excessive grazing, unplanned developmental activities, non-scientific cultivation
practices, etc; have exacerbated the problem of soil erosion in the district
The problems and interventions regarding land development have been highlighted in Table 1.9. Land
sliding due to steep slopes, forest degradation and overgrazing of pastures etc; were the common
problems reported by majority of panchayats for land development.

1.7 Land Use Pattern
Kinnaur district has an area of 6401 sq. km or 6,40,100 hectares but because of the physiographic
constraints the area for land use is restricted and hence the cultivated or gross cropped area is 21,425
out of which 9,017 hectares is under agricultural crops (1.44 per cent) and 12,408 hectares under
horticulture crops. The percentage of net sown area to the total area in the district is 1.21 percent as
Page | 25
compared to the state average of 10.5%. The major proportion of the area falls under permanent
pastures and other grazing land (about 51 per cent), wastelands (21 per cent) and forests (6.80 per
cent). Further there is moderate scope of increase in arable area in the district as the current fallow
land (1,513 hectares), other fallow land (83 hectares) and current waste land (3,254 hectares) can be
brought under cultivation by investments in reclamation fencing/ bunding and development of
irrigation1. Although Pooh is the largest block in Kinnaur as per geographical area, it is second to
Kalpa in terms of net sown area in the district. Kalpa accounts for 28.4 percent of the net sown area
as compared to Pooh having 25.9 percent net sown area of the district. Double/ multiple cropping is
practised in 22 percent of the cultivated area in the district. Pooh block has the highest cropping
intensity of 412 per cent as compared to the district average of 263 percent. Nichar block accounts
for 62 percent of the districts area under forest while Pooh block accounts for 81 percent of the
district’s total wasteland

The land use maps of Kinnaur district (Map 1.7a and 1.7b) have been analysed for two periods viz.
2002 and 2015 to assess the change in land use witnessed in the area. Owing to the increase in
urbanisation in Kinnaur, area under forests and gLakhsiers has decreased by 5.29% and 17.5 %
respectively whereas built up land has increased by 0.01 %. The land under grasslands has increased
by 7.13% whereas area under river and water bodies showed a decline of 0.03 %. Over the past 13
Page | 27
years, there has been a tremendous increase of 13.65 % in the area under rocky lands, barren land
area in the district has also increased in Kinnaur by 1.70 %. This may be attributed to the reduction
in the area under snow caps and gLakhsiers and their corresponding conversion into rocky and barren
land.

Chapter 2 DISTRICT WATER PROFILE
Kinnaur district lies is the High hill temperate zone. Majority of farmers in this district are marginal
and small farmers and average size of land holding is 1.38 ha. Rainfed farming is mostly practiced in
the area.
2.1 Area Wise, Crop Wise Irrigation Status
Kinnaur has a total gross cultivated area of 21,425 ha out of which 9,017 hectares is under agricultural
crops and 12,408 ha is under horticultural plantations. Further, about 59.35 percent area under
agricultural crops is irrigated and 40.4 percent is rainfed. As indicated in figure 2.1Nichar block has
the highest arable area i.e 3,618 ha followed by Kalpa (2,917 ha) and Pooh (2,482 ha). Kharif season
is the main cropping season in the district as about 83 percent (7,602 ha) of the arable area is utilised
in cultivation of various agricultural crops. On a contrary, in Rabi season about 1,415 hectares of land
is cultivated. Nearly 67 per cent of Kharif cropped area is irrigated and during rabi season 29.3 per
cent of the area is irrigated.
Pooh and Kalpa blocks have approximately 90 percent and 78 percent of the area under irrigation.
However, Nichar block lags far behind the two blocks as it has only 23 percent irrigated area. The
reason for this marked difference in irrigation status is that Kalpa and Pooh block are in proximity to
the snow-capped mountains and gLakhsiers which are a source of irrigation to the downstream
agricultural lands of these blocks. However in Nichar block such natural sources of irrigation are far
and few. The block wise area under irrigation is mentioned in Figure 2.2 below:

*Details are presented in Annexure 2.
Vegetables are the main agricultural crop cultivated in the district because of their lower cropping
cycles and higher returns. About 36 percent (3,286 ha) of the total land is utilised for vegetable
production in the district. Cereals like wheat and maize occupy the second largest or 2,290 hectares
of area (or 25 percent) followed by coarse cereals like bajra and Millets which occupy 1,502 ha of
area (or 16.6 percent).

The crop wise irrigation scenario in the three block of the district his as under:
1. Kalpa block has maximum area under vegetable cultivation (1,054 ha), followed by cereals
(680 hectares) and pulses (555 hectares). These crops are mainly irrigated as about 71 percent
of the cultivated area under cereals, coarse cereals and pulses is irrigated.

Kinnaur district has maximum area under Apple cultivation which is followed by Almond, Apricot
and Walnut. In Pooh and Kalpa blocks, 90 percent and 80 percent of the arable area under horticulture
plantation is irrigated. However in case of Nichar block only 23 percent of the cultivated area is
irrigated.

2.2 Production and Productivity of Major Crops
The economy of Kinnaur is predominantly agriculture based where as large as 67.09 per cent of the
total working force is engaged in tilling the cultivable land. The space of arable land is small and the
cultivation is common on narrow strips along the browse of the mountains. The crops for the most
part are Poohr and a great scarcity of grain pervades. As a result, Public distribution system is heavily
relied upon in the district.

The district has a long spell of winter season from November to March, due to which cultivation is
carried out mainly in April-October. The crops cultivated in Kharif season cover much higher area as
compared to crop area in rabi season. The standard grains are barley, phaphra ( Fagopyrum
esculentum) and ogla (Fagopyrum emerginatum), barley is sown in March-april and harvested in July
after which fields are prepared for oogla and phaphra which are harvested in October. The other
grains are Bathu (Amaranthus), cheena (Panicum miliaceum) and poda (Paspalum ocribiculatum).
Over the years, the area under remunerative crops like vegetables and pulses have increased and area
under grains have decreased. Green peas and cabbage are the main vegetables cultivated in the block.
Farming in Kinnaur is largely irrigated and the main sources are the Kuhls drawn from the streams
fed by the gLakhsiers. However, in Nichar block the arable area is mainly rainfed. The production of
Kharif crops under irrigated system accounts to 2,01,000 quintal and under rainfed system a
production of 17,500 quintals is accounted. Likewise, during Rabi season the production of
agricultural crops under irrigated system is far more than rainfed system (as depicted in Figure 2.8)

Chapter 3 Water Availability
Kinnaur has an isolated and rugged physiography. The topography of the district presents an intricate
mosaic of mountain ranges, hills and deep valleys with altitudinal variations ranging from 1500-6500
metres. The scenarios of water availability in the district have been assessed based on the pre
monsoon and post monsoon drainage maps of Kinnaur (As depicted in Map 7 and 8).
Map 7 : Pre Monsoon Drainage Map of Kinnaur
Page | 36
Map 8 : Post Monsoon Drainage Map of Kinnaur
The comparison of the pre-monsoon and post monsoon drainage map of the district shows that during
pre-monsoon the tributaries of river are spread in lesser catchment area but post monsoons because
of increase in water levels in the main river, its tributaries and sub tributaries cover much larger
catchment area. This clearly underlines the dependence on rain water in the area.
3.1 Status of Water Availability The important water resources of Kinnaur are as follows:
a) River and khads (Tributaries)
The Satluj- This is the principal river of Kinnaur, almost dividing the district into two parts.
In its passage through Kinnaur, the Satluj river successively crosses three more or less parallel
mountain ranges; the Zhaskar mountains, the Great Himalaya and the Dhauladhar. The
significant tributary streams and rivers that flow into the main Satluj river from the south or
along its left bank are successively the Tiang, Hogis, Gyamthing, Tiding, Baspa, Duling,
Ramni and Panwi khads and likewise those entering from the north or along right bank are
Page | 37
the Spiti river, Ropa, Kirang, Kashang, Pangi, Choling and Bhaba khads. In between there are
many streams that meet the Satluj river and its tributaries. The Satluj descends from about
3,050 m (the point of its entrance in the district) to 1,200 meter at Chaura flowing almost the
whole way between narrow cliffs and, therefore, there is no open ground worth mentioning
all along its banks. The water of the river is more or less discoloured. Cultivated fields in
terraces are generally at considerable height from its bank and thus are immune to the turbidity
of water, which is largest in June to August. The river is not navigable. After Satluj leaves the
district boundary near Chaura, it enters Shimla district.
The Baspa- This river is the feeder of Satluj and passes through the famous Sangla valley. It
is next to Spiti in size and is about 72 km in length and joins Satluj at Karchham. Zupki,
Thatang, Bering, Rukti and Suti are its important tributaries. This river has a potential for the
propagation of brown trout ( Salmo fario).
The Wangar/Bhaba- This torrent is formed by the junction of two streams, namely, Bhaba
and Sooreh and joins Satluj on the right side.
The Tidong- It is about 56 km in length. The Ropa- It is about 43 km in length and falls in
Satluj near the village of Shyaso. The Spiti – It rises from Kunzam range by the confluences
of Kunzam La Togpo and the streams Kabzima and Pinglung. After travelling a distance of
about 152 km it joins Satluj at Khab in Kinnaur district.
b) Lakes and Tanks- A small lake with its grassy banks, lies at village Nako in Pooh sub division.
The other mentionable lake of appreciable size is Sapni lake situated about 3 km above Mane village.
There is another small lake above the villages of Jani and Ramni in tehsil Nichar. Its area is about
420 m2 with a depth of about 15 m.
c) Springs and Spring-heads- Springs are scattered all over the area and occur at the foot, on the
sides, shoulders, saddles and depressions of a mountain or a hill. Where possible, the water from
spring is used for drinking as well as for irrigation through kuhls. The spring water mostly comes
from snow. In Nichar tehsil, there are number of hot water springs, the waters of which are used for
bath and washing of clothes. The bauris (kunda) for the most part built of hewn stone, descending by
steps; not more than half to one meter deep, are often shaded by trees or an arched roof. The water is
limpid and cool in all the seasons. One existing in or near every settlement, these sources are presently
in a state of disappear and neglect.
d) Snow Fields/GLakhsier and Ice Caves – The area above 5,200 m from the mean sea level
remains under permanent snow. The area between 3,050 to 5,200 m remains covered with snow for
more than six months in a year. The tract falling between 2,000 to 3,050 m remains under snow for
Page | 38
three to six months. The higher reaches of mountains like Pargial and Raldang Kailash are worth
mentioning as the snow fields.
Kinnaur district has no major and medium irrigation schemes, however, rainwater harvesting
structures are constructed under MGNREGA, IWMP, DCs fund etc to provide a sustainable means
of irrigation to the farmers of the district. A total of 8 rainwater harvesting structures have been
approved and constructed in Recong peo circle having a storage capacity of 1.05 Million cubic
meters. The treated water from sewage treatment plant is not used in the district for irrigation
purposes. Hence, the prospective water sources in the blocks are Kuhls, Minor irrigation tanks under
Lift irrigation system and flow irrigation system,
The block wise status of water availability is as follows:

3.2 Status of Ground Water Availability
The district can be divided broadly into two hydrogeological units viz. Porous Formations comprising
unconsolidated sediments and the Fissured Formations comprising hard rocks. The Porous
Formations are fluviatile deposits, occurring along the Baspa River, Ropa Gad, Taiti Gad, Wenger
Gad, Tidong Gad in the lower reaches and in the upper reaches generally underlain by gLakhsio-
fluviatile deposits. These form potential aquifers. Along the Baspa River in Sangla valley, about 40
sq.km and along Ropa River valley, 7 sq. km area is ground water worthy, with expected thickness
of 20 to 30 m below Riverbed. However, there are other numerous isolated small valley fills, which
are also ground water worthy.
Fissured formations are constituted by hard rock formations, belonging to crystalline rocks. These
rocks are generally, massive and devoid of primary porosity. However, due to the tectonic activities,
Page | 39
secondary porosity has developed along fracture / joints and fault zones. Weathered zone, rarely form
an aquifer because of the little thickness of the weathered mantle, due to the topographical slope in
the area. In hard rock terrain of district Kinnaur, the ground water is distributed either along
structurally weak / fractured zones, faults and landslides zones or along the contacts of the different
rock formation in the topographically favorable areas. In the Satluj River valley,the areas around
Taranda, Tapri, between Oling and Lipa, Morang and Tabling are most promising for exploration.
The other ground water potential areas are along Baspa River, Tidong Gad, Taiti Gad and Spiti River.
The occurrence of the large numbers of springs in these zones, are indicative of existence of these
zones10.
Rainfall is the major source of groundwater recharge, apart from the influent seepage from the rivers,
irrigated fields and inflow from upland areas, whereas, discharge from ground water mainly takes
pLakhse from effluent seepages of ground water, in the form of springs and base flow in streams etc.
The area therefore is not considered for estimation of the ground water resources, being discontinuous
aquifers
Ground Water Quality
National Hydrograph Network Stations have not been established in the district so far. However, the
water samples were collected form various sources like spring and handpumps during the various
hydrogeological studies, which reveal that the overall ground water quality is good and is suitable for
all type of uses.
Status of Ground Water Development
The entire demand for domestic and irrigational use, is fulfilled by means of either spring or nallah
sources. Most of these sources are perennial, with low to moderate seasonal fluctuation. Such sources,
are tapped by the irrigation department for its further use.
So far ground water exploration has not been carried out by CGWB in Kinnaur district because of
difficulty in transporting the heavy machinery. However, Irrigation department of the State has drilled
number of shallow bore wells, fitted with handpump in various parts of the district for domestic use.
The depth of these bore wells, ranges between 100 to 120 feet. At pLakhses, where the discharge is
sufficient, depending upon the need, they are energized. These handpumps are installed in hardrocks,
hilly terrain and also along river valleys. Tubewells are absent in all these valleys. In future, the areas
of Sangla and Ropa valley, can be taken up for ground water exploration.

Page | 40
The district being hilly and mountainous, traditional sources of ground water, mainly springs, has
played a major role since past in providing assured irrigation and water supply. These include, the
nallas and springs. In some areas, even at present these are the only sources of water of the
settlements. However, modern means for tapping ground water have been employed in recent years
Map 9 : Ground water user map- Kinnaur
Source: Central Ground Water Board Report, Kinnaur
Page | 41
Ground water development on small scale is seen in the valley areas, particularly in the Baspa valley.
Handpumps have been installed in these areas and are energized for water supply. There exists, a
scope to explore the ground water potential in remaining low lying valley areas. The area of the district
is feasible only for drilling shallow to medium depth bore wells.

3.4 Existing Type of Irrigation
As discussed in Chapter 2, Pooh and Kalpa blocks, have maximum cultivable area (up to 60 percent)
under irrigation mostly through kuhls and tanks. The major irrigation projects in Kinnaur are handled
by the IPH Department and minor irrigation schemes are run by the State Department of Agriculture.
There are 99 major Kuhls in the district out of which 63 are present in Pooh. The total command area
of these major kuhls is 6,835 ha out of which 1,709 ha is irrigated (as per district agriculture plan).
The status of existing irrigation schemes as provided by IPH Department is depicted in Table 3.5

Kinnaur as a whole does not have any ground water sources being used for irrigation because of the
low potential of ground water in the district. Also, the number of water extraction devices in the
district has been reported to be zero in all the three blocks. Kuhls, khads and nallah are the major
sources of irrigation and are used by farmers to draw water to their fields under gravity flow by
digging channels.
As per the District Agriculture Plan of Kinnaur (based on 2007-2008 field survey), there are 84 minor
kuhls, in the district being used as a water source for irrigation. Kalpa block has 72 percent of the
minor kuhls of the district. The total command area under irrigation from minor Kuhls is 3825.6 ha
and the actual irrigated area is 361 hectares.

Chapter 4 Water Requirement/Demand
Planning (irrigation) interventions is a prudent exercise which must be done meticulously after taking
into cognisance the current resource availability vis a vis the current needs and future demand. Since,
there is always a time lag between planning and implementation an assessment of future demand
along with present needs is a pre requisite for make the plans more executable. The present chapter
deals with the current (2015) and projected (2020) demand of water for various sectors. The demand
for water has been assessed on the basis of data obtained from different departments.
4.1 Domestic Water Demand
Data of Census 2011 and 2001 has been considered to arrive at the growth rate of population of the
district. As per Census 2011, the district has shown an annual growth rate of 0.739%. Table 4.1 below
indicates the block-wise population of the district. Current population (in 2015) has been calculated
by assuming a growth rate of 2.956% (0.739% × 4 Years) over a period of four years (from 2011-
2015). Projected population has been calculated in similar way by assuming a growth rate of 3.695
% (0.739% × 5 Years) over the period of five years (from 2015-2020).
It has been assumed that per capita daily water requirement of people residing in urban areas of the
district is 150 Litres and for population in rural areas, the daily per capita daily water requirement is
70 Litres. Using the same norms domestic water supply demand has been worked out and given in
Table 4.1 below

Page | 45
Figure 4.1 Domestic water Demand Present and Projected (2020)
It can be inferred from the figure that considering the growth rate of population of the district, the
quantity of water required in 2020 for domestic consumption shall be approximately 2.164 MCM
which is 1.003 times more than the present water requirement.
4.2 Crop Water Requirement
Kinnaur has small arable area due to which cultivation is carried out on narrow browse of mountain
strips.
Area under different crops has been discussed in Chapter 2 (Figure 2.8). Taking into account, the
water requirement (Table 4.2), requirement of water for different crops have been worked out.
Existing water potential available (being utilized) has been assumed as the water used in irrigated
land.

It can be concluded from the table that in 3 blocks, a total water potential of 6.26 MCM is to be
created in the district to fulfil the requirement of crops. The crop wise water requirement has been
taken based upon discussion with Agronomists of Agriculture University as per practice prevailing
in the State which is as under:

the terms of the following:
Page | 47
Per capital daily water requirement for cows/buffaloes 65 litres, sheep/goats/pigs 6 litres and
Poultry 0.25 litres.
For projecting the water demand of livestock, growth rate as deduced from census has been
considered during calculations. In case of livestock with decreasing growth rate of population,
the present population has been considered. It is assumed that present water requirement of
livestock is met from existing water usage and hence existing potential is equal to existing
demand.
4.4 Industrial Water Demand
Kinnaur has 333 industrial units and all of them are registered. Owing to the severe topographical
conditions and tribal status of Kinnaur, there are no Large and Medium scale enterprises in the district.
Recong peo is the only Industrial area with 42 plots out of which 37 have been allocated and only 23
are in production. The details of existing small and micro enterprises is as given below:
Figure 4.2 Industrial Units in Kinnaur
Kinnaur has highest number of Woolen ,silk & Artificial Thread Based cloth workshops followed by
Agro based micro enterprises.
The water requirement of existing small/micro enterprises and workshops is being met by the present
water supply schemes of IPH department. The water demand of these enterprises is negligible. Since
there are no major water consuming industries in the district the water potential to be created for
industries has been taken to be zero.

4.5 Water Demand for Power Generation
Himachal Pradesh has abundant water resources, with five major rivers flowing from the western
Himalayas. It has a power potential of about 23,000 MW. About 6,480 MW has been harnessed till
now by public sector units and private and joint venture companies.
All the hydel projects in Kinnaur are run off the river projects and no storage is involved. The major
hydroelectric power projects of the district are as mentioned below:
Shongtong-Karcham Hydro-Electric Project (450 MW) : Shongtong Karchham Hydro
Electric Project, a run-of-river scheme, on the river Satluj in Distt. Kinnaur of HP, envisages
construction of 102.50 m long diversion barrage, near village Powari, to divert 406 cumecs
discharge to four sedimentation chambers, each 300 m long.
HPSEB has 4 hydro power projects in Rongtong, rukti, SVP- Bhaba and Bhaba Aug with a
capacity of 2, 1.50, 120 and 4.5 MW respectively. The corresponding design discharge for
these four projects is 4.25 cumecs (Rongtong), 0.5 cumecs (Rukti), 21.20 cumecs (SVP-
Bhaba) and 10 cumecs (Bhaba Aug).
Karcham wangtoo is a private hydro prower project with a capacity of 1000 MW and design
discharge of 421 cumecs. Baspa-II is another private hydro power project with a capacity of
300 mw and design discharge of 52 cumecs.

The district does not have any thermal/ nuclear power plant where water is consumed. However, the
various hydroelectric plants in Kalpa, Nichar and Pooh have power generation capacity of 969 MW,
1295 Mw and 100 Mw respectively. Thus, total power generation capacity comes out to be 2364 MW
in the district. The water after power generation is used downstream side for irrigation. Since water
is not being consumed in Hydro Power generation, no water potential needs to be created for power
generation and hence the potential to be created has been taken to be zero in the district.

4.6 Total Water Demand of the district for various sectors
The present water demand of the district has been assessed to be 13.67 MCM annually. Out of the
total water demand 10.6 mcm (78 percent) is the requirement from crop production. Nearly 2.149
mcm is required for domestic and drinking purposes and another 0.9 mcm (or 6%) is required for
livestock water requirement purpose. There is no water requirement for industries and power
generation.
Figure 4.3 Sectoral water Demand of Kinnaur
This sections presents the total water demand of the district and has been calculated by summing up
all major sectors consuming water. The current water demand has been indicated in Table 4.9 and the
projected water demand has been depicted in Table 4.10.

During 2020, total water requirement of the district has been assessed at 13.71 MCM. Hence, there
is will be an increment in water demand by 0.05 MCM by various sectors in Kinnaur.
4.7 Water Budget
The water budget shows wide gaps between water availability and water demand in the district. While
the availability at present is 7.46 mcm, the present water demand is 13.67 MCM giving rise to an
unmet demand of close to 6.21 mcm (or 45.4%). If the existing water availability is continued the
water gap is likely to increase further in future and as a result the unmet demand for water is likely
to go up reaching 13.70 mcm.
Figure 4.4 Water Budget of Kinnaur
Kinnaur district has negligible ground water. Less than 5 percent of the domestic and livestock water
needs are being met by ground water. Surface water is the predominant source which caters to all the
sectoral needs of water viz. domestic, livestock, crop, industry and power generation. The water
budget for the district is mentioned in Table 4.11 below:

Chapter 5 Strategic Action Plan
65 million hectares out of the 141 million hectares net sown area in the country i.e. 45% is presently
covered under irrigation. In the case of Himachal Pradesh about 20% of the net sown area of 5,38,000
hectares i.e. 1,06,000 hectares is provided with assured irrigation. Substantial dependence on rainfall
makes cultivation in the unirrigated areas a high risk and less productive proposition. Empirical
evidences suggest that assured or protective irrigation encourages farmers to invest more in farming
technology and inputs leading to productivity enhancement and increased farm income. The
overarching vision of the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) is to ensure access to
some means of protective irrigation to the cultivated land in the country, to produce ‘per drop more
crop’, thus ushering in much desired rural prosperity.
The total geographical area of Kinnaur district is 6,24,308 hectares, but because of slopy and
mountainous terrain , the cultivated or gross cropped area under agriculture is 9,017 hectares and the
area under horticulture crops is 12,408 hectares. The net irrigated area in the district is only 13,751
hectares. It is pertinent to mention that agriculture/ horticulture is an integral anchor of the economic
backbone of Kinnaur district providing direct employment to large section of the population. Majority
of land being rainfed exposes the farmers to uncertainties of monsoon. There is moderate scope of
increase in arable area in the district by bringing the current fallow land (1,513 hectares), other fallow
land ( 83 hectares) and current waste land (3,254 hectares) under cultivation through investments in
reclamation, fencing / bunding and large scale provision of irrigation facilities.
5.0.1 Strategic Plan for irrigation in PMKSY
The strategic action plan presents the estimated area planned to be brought under irrigation and the
financial outlays required for completion of the proposed projects for the period 2016-17 to 2019-20.
5.1. Component wise and Year wise total Plan of the district:
Total plan for four years works out to Rs. 9935.90 lakh (Figure 5.1). Maximum share of Rs.7381.80
lakh (74.29%) is for Irrigation and Public Health Department, followed by Rural Development
Department with Rs.2225.64 lakh (22.40%) and Agriculture Department with Rs. 324.22 lakh
(3.26%). Horticulture Department’s plan for four years is Rs. 4.2 lakh (0.49 %). While working out
the plan, phasing of ongoing irrigation projects has been considered. However, from the proposal of
Page | 54
departments, eligible activities under RIDF will be covered as per the funds requirement of the State.
Projects sanctioned under RIDF XXI for micro irrigation have not been shown separately as it will
be implemented by the Agriculture Department and covered under the plan of the Department.
Capacity building, extension and training is an important component of successful execution of the
plan, therefore, Rs. 103.29 lakh has been proposed in the plan from 2016-17 to 2019-20. Few of the
schemes of IPH department are MLA priority schemes, i.e. these are the schemes suggested by
Hon'ble MLAs in the annual action plan, these schemes amount to Rs. 1881 lakh and have been
described later in the chapter.
Figure 5.1 Share of departments in PMKSY Budget
The strategic action plan envisages to provide assured irrigation in an additional command area of
5,231.5 hectares. Under the component hark het ko pani a command area of 4196.5 ha (80 percent
share) is planned to be covered by irrigation infrastructure, AIBP contributes command area
development to the tune of 800 hectares in the plan (15 %). The watershed component and per drop
more component envisages to develop irrigation potential in a command area of 140 ha (3 %) and
95 ha (2 %) respectively.

Figure 5.2 Component wise Coverage of Command area in Action plan
Department wise planned coverage of area: Department wise, irrigation and public health
department will cover 3,671 ha or 71 percent of planned coverage of area followed by Agriculture
department having a coverage area of 1,410 ha or 26.96 %. The intervention of watershed department
will provide irrigation infrastructure in a command area of 140 ha (2.6 %) and horticulture department
will ensure precision water application in an area of 10 ha by installation of 20 drip/ sprinkler
structures. Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) focused on awareness generation
and capacity building of the beneficiary farmers on water distribution, efficient use of water and water
saving technologies etc.

of 30,450 metres. The total estimated cost required for these works is Rs 4628.8 lakh. These irrigation
interventions will be implemented by IPH and agriculture Department from 2016-2020 as mentioned
below:
The arable land in Kinnaur district is located in small patches, as such there is not much scope
of constructing major and medium irrigation projects. However considering the topographical
constraints and availability of sources, 21 minor irrigation schemes, (both flow and lift will be taken
up under PMKSY (Har Khet ko Pani) by IPH department. These schemes will provide assured
irrigation in a command area of 2071 hectares with an estimated cost of Rs 4382 lakh The block wise
details of the proposed schemes are as under :-

5.4 Strategic Action Plan for Blocks under Per Drop More Crop
The PMKSY emphasizes optimum utilization of available water resources to produce ‘Per Drop More
Crop’, leading to productivity enhancement and increased farm incomes ushering in rural prosperity.
Under, the component per drop more crop efficient water conveyance and precision water application
has been ensured by envisaging installation of 200 sprinkler irrigation structures and 10 drip
irrigation structures. Secondary storage structures (60 nos. each 20,000 ltr capacity)) at tail end of
canal system has been proposed 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; on farm development by laying 50, 000 mtr High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes
has been proposed. The creation of secondary storage structures will result in creation of water
potential to the tune of 1200 cubic metres.
Extension activities has been planned by ATMA for capacity building and training of farmers and
officers so as to ensure promotion of scientific moisture conservation , agronomic measures including
cropping alignment, maximisation of available water use including rainfall and minimisation of
irrigation requirement
The details of activities proposed in Kalpa, Pooh and Nichar Blocks under PMKSY (Per Drop More
Crop) are given in table 5.11.

5.5 Strategic action Plan for Blocks under Watershed Development Component
The PMKSY (Watershed Development) emphasizes effective management of runoff water and
improved soil and moisture conservation activities like construction of water harvesting structures
such as check dams, nalla bunds, farm ponds, tanks etc. The capacity building of the stakeholders,
entry point activities, soil and moisture conservation, livelihood activities for the landless persons
and production systems and micro enterprises for small and marginal farmers as well as convergence
with MGNREGS for creation of new irrigation sources, water harvesting structures on individual
lands of vulnerable sections, upgradation/ desilting of traditional water bodies, water conservation
works etc. are to be given top priority.
Among the four components, PMKSY (Watershed) covers a planned area of 140 hectares through
various watersheds covered under Integrated Watershed Management Project (IWMP). Given the
hilly terrain and with steep slopes, soil and water conservation was given importance through creation
of new water harvesting structures including 4 farm ponds, 117 tanks and 155 Kuhls. In order to
enhance the capacity of existing infrastructure renovation has been given equal importance. The plan
includes renovation of 3 farm ponds and 1 Kuhl. The soil and water conservation in the district is to
be ensured by creation of 99 Bench Terracing & Crate Wire structures. The details are given in table
5.13.

5.6 Suggestions
For successful implementation of PMKSY plan it is suggested that:
All the stakeholders should convene meeting of concerned Gram Panchayat and then finalise
the village plan and prepare DPR.
All the structures planned should be geo tagged and marked on map, so that social auditing of
the projects can be conducted. This will also avoid duplicity and wastage of resources.
The Departments 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.
Where ever feasible, solar pumpsets should be installed.
Priority should be given to projects to minimize the gap in potential created and potential
utilized.
Execution of the schemes should be properly planned to avoid time and cost overrun.
There should be smooth fund flow for timely completion of the project and to avoid cost
escalation.
Period of implementation:
It is proposed that the planned activities and outlay will be spent in a period of 4/5 years. Some of the
activities relating to extension, small irrigation works etc., are recurring and hence will have a period
of implementation less than a year. Through these activities PMKSY program is expected to increase
the water availability meeting the water demand from multiple sources. A total of Rs.99.36 crore will
be spent during the next 4 years covering 5231.25 hectares of land.
Monitoring and Evaluation
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. Further, the activities, outputs 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:
Page | 66
1. 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
2. Potential created and utilized measured as the ratio of total potential utilized (measured crop area)
to irrigation potential created
3. Output (agricultural production) per unit irrigated area measured as the ratio of total value of
agriculture production divided by the total irrigated area.
4. 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.
5. 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 utilized).
6. 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)
7. Equity performance measured as actual area irrigated in head, middle and tail divided by
Command area in head, middle and tail.
5.7 Expected Outcome
As stated above in earlier Chapters gross sown area of the district is 21,425 ha (including area under
horticulture) of which 13,751 ha is irrigated. Thus there is a gap of 7646 ha which can be converted
from rainfed to area under assured irrigation. As the water requirement of crops for the existing
cropping pattern works out to be 10.58 MCM and if the gross cropped area is to be brought under
irrigation 6.27 MCM water is required. Though the water (surface and ground water) is available in
the district yet it will not be feasible to create irrigation potential to the extent of 100 % as the
construction of irrigation project may not be economically viable even if it is technically feasible. In
hilly area due to tough terrain, high head, small and fragmented land holdings, per ha.cost may be
very high.
Keeping in view the above constraints a plan to develop 291irrigation structures has been proposed,
this will create a water potential of 5503 cubic metres. Under Har Khet ko Pani and Per Drop More
Crop an area of 4,196.50 ha and 95 ha will be developed by installing new lift irrigation and flow
Page | 67
irrigation schemes. Potential of 85 ha is proposed to be created under PMKSY ‘Per Drop More Crop-
Micro irrigation component’. Sprinkler and drip irrigation schemes have been proposed under this
programme. It is proposed to cover about 80 ha and 5 ha under sprinkler and drip irrigation schemes
respectively. On completion of these projects, it is expected that an additional irrigation potential of
approximately 45.05 ha will be created due to saving of water. Also, 60 secondary storage structures
have been planned in the district which will create a water potential of 1200 cubic metres in Kinnaur.
On completion of all the projects proposed under PMKSY a command area of 5,231 ha is likely to
be developed in the district. This is likely to generate an additional income of Rs. 1000 lakh to the
farmers of the district. This is based on the assumption of atleast 50% of potential utilised and Rs.
40000 per ha incremental income from rainfed to irrigated farming. This is also likely to create 9.1
lakh mandays11 of non-recurring employment and 2100 jobs12 annually on recurring basis. The
interventions under PMKSY will generate an irrigation potential to the tune of 5,231 ha in the district
as an outcome.
The average productivity of land in Rainfed area is 2136 kg/ha while the same is 4034 kg/ha. Hence,
with extended irrigation facility to 3138 hectare, the incremental yield would be 5955 MT
approximately.
The interventions under PMKSY may result into increased acreage under crops thereby contributing
to both agricultural and horticultural production. At the same time, it will create livelihood
opportunities for the local population and contribute in generating direct and indirect employment.
The strategic action plan of Kinnaur for 2016-2020 is presented below:
11 Non recurring employment is calculated by considering the labour component to be 20 % of the total financial outlay and dividing it by wage rate 12 Recurring employment is calculated by using the rationale that 1 job will be created in 2 hecatre of land irrigated additionally.
