FOREWORD.

Water has been and will remain a critical resource which is being affected by increasing

population, industrialization, urbanization, pollution, deforestation and above all climate

change. I am pleased to present this DIP document of the district which envisages challenges

and opportunities in the district for forthcoming decades. The document is useful for developing

a research road map for enhancing water productivity in different agro-ecological regions of the

district. The document gives an insight on the scenario of water, its challenges, operating

environment and new opportunities. The document also emphasizes on goal and target for

developing water management technologies to ensure food and nutritional security of the

district.

It is an opportune time that the district irrigation plan is being formulated as there has

been appreciable enhancement in productivity and production of different crops and

commodities, which has enabled the country to raise food production at a faster rate than the

growth in demand. This has enabled the country to become self-sufficient in food and emerge as

a net food exporter. However, agriculture in the district is now facing several challenges that are

expected to become even more diverse and stiffer. Natural resources (both physical and

biological) are deteriorating and getting depleted; risks associated with climate change are

rising, new forms of biotic and abiotic stress are emerging, production is becoming more energy

intensive, and biosafety concerns are growing. Intellectual property rights and trade regulations

impacting technology acquisition and transfer, declining preference for farm work, shrinking

farm size and changes in dietary preferences are formidable challenges. These challenges call

for a paradigm shift in our approach to harness the potential of water resources. Some of the

critical areas like surface and sub surface i.e sprinkler/drip irrigation need to be given priority.

The CSS PMKSY is addressing the issues of on-farm water management through basic, applied

and strategic research activities in the area of rainwater, canal water, groundwater and

waterlogged area scenario

I take this opportunity to express my best wishes to the DLIC and others associated with

the preparation of DIP.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This plan is aimed to provide a technical model to make Samba district

sustainable for agricultural water need. District Irrigation Plan (DIP) of Samba

district has been drafted as per Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY)

operational guide lines issued by Govt. of India. There is a huge gap between the

irrigation potential created and utilized of the district. To abridge this gap to the

maximum extent a comprehensive district irrigation plan is prepared for Samba

District under PMKSY. To this effect Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana

(PMKSY) has been formulated with the vision of extending the coverage of

irrigation through ‘Har Khet ko pani’ and improving water use efficiency ‘More

crop per drop' in a focused manner with end to end solution on source creation,

distribution, management, field application and extension activities. The main

objective of the plan is to improve irrigation and farm productivity, to achieve this

convergence of investments in the irrigation at field level, expand cultivable area

through assured irrigation, To improve onfarm water use efficiency to reduce

wastage of water, enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water-

saving technologies, Water conservation and cutting down on wastage is key to

bring irrigation facilities to every farm, Enhancing adoption of precision-irrigation

crop rotations and other water-saving technologies. The approach and strategy of

PMKSY is to increase in irrigation coverage, enhancement in use of augmented

2

resources by bridging the gap between irrigation potential created and utilized,

improvement/strengthening of water distribution network, enhancement of water

use efficiency, sustainable & efficient management of water resources etc. The DIP

have been prepared at two levels i.e., block & district, the work is primarily done at

block level. The block wise irrigation plan prepared is a replica of the district

irrigation plan.

INTRODUCTION

Hon’ble President in his address to the joint Session of the Parliament of 16th Lok Sabha

indicated that “Each drop of water is precious” government is committed to give high priority to

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 Paani’. There is a

need for seriously considering all options including linking of rivers, where feasible; for ensuring

optimal use of our water resources by harnessing rain water through ‘Jal Sanchay’ and ‘Jal

Sinchan’, we will nurture water conservation and ground water recharge. Micro irrigation will be

popularized to ensure ‘Per drop - More crop’.

As Per Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) operational Guidelines,

District Irrigation Plans (DIPs) shall be the cornerstone for planning and implementation of

PMKSY. DIPs will identify the gaps in irrigation infrastructure after taking into consideration

the District Agriculture Plans (DAPs) already prepared for Rashtriya KrishiVikasYojana

(RKVY) vis-à-vis irrigation infrastructure currently available and resources that would be added

during XII Plan from other ongoing schemes (both State and Central), like Mahatma Gandhi

National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme(MGNREGS), RashtriyaKrishiVikashYojana

(RKVY), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF), Member of Parliament Local Area

Development (MPLAD) Scheme, Member of Legislative Assembly Local Area Development

(MLALAD) Scheme, Local body funds etc. The gaps indentified under Strategic Research &

Extension Plan (SREGP) will be made use in preparation of DIP. DIPs will present holistic

irrigation development perspective of the district outlining medium to long term development

plans integrating

a) Formulations of new Irrigation sources under PMKSY (Har Khet Ko Pani).

b) Stabilization of existing scheme under PMKSY (Per Drop More Crop).

c) Water use applications incorporating all usage of water like drinking & domestic use,

irrigation and industry

DIP is prepared as joint exercise of all participating departments and it will form the

compendium of all existing and proposed water resource network system in the district.

Based on above, an attempt has been made to prepare a District Irrigation Plan for Samba

4

District in J&K State. The State Government and the District Administration were also requested

to take up on priority the preparation of DIP and also various state Government departments at

district level were requested to provide the data inputs so that a DIP for the district can be

prepared.

DIPs will present holistic irrigation development perspective of the district outlining

medium to long term development plans integrating three components viz. water sources,

distribution network and water use applications incorporating all usage of water like drinking

& domestic use, irrigation and industry. Preparation of DIP will be taken up as joint exercise

of all participating departments. DIP will form the compendium of all existing and proposed

water resource network system in the district.

The DIPs is prepared at two levels, the block and the district. Keeping in view the

convenience of map preparation and data collection, the work would be primarily done at

block level. Block wise irrigation plan is to be prepared depending on the available and

potential water resources and water requirement for agriculture sector prioritising the activities

based on socio-economic and location specific requirement. In case of planning is made based

on basin/sub basin level, the comprehensive irrigation plan may cover more than one district.

The activities identified in the basin/sub-basin plan can be further segregated into

district/block level action plans. Use of satellite imagery, Topo sheets and available database

may be appropriately utilised for developing irrigation plans at least on pilot basis to begin

with and subsequently may be extended to all projects.

BACK GROUND OF THE DISTRICT.

District Samba came into operation Vide Government order no.1345-GAD of 2006 dated

27.10.2006. It comprises 382 villages as per the notification issued by the Govt. under SRO

No.185 dated 22nd of May 2007. These villages have been organized into 55 Patwar Halquas,

and 99 Panchayats. Out of 382 villages, 62 villages have been detached from Tehsil Hiranagar of

district Kathua and one village from Tehsil Majalta of District Udhampur. Besides, four urban

towns viz. Samba, Vijaypur, Ramgarh and Bari Brahmna are also the part of this district.The

Samba town is located on Shivalik hills range alongside the National Highway 1-A on the bank

of river Basantar. Samba is bounded by District Udhampur in the North, District Kathua in the

East, Tehsils Jammu and Bishnah of District Jammu in the west, while on the southern side it

has International Border with Pakistan. Samba district has a a longitude of 75.1167 and latitude

of 32.5667. Samba is basically an agriculture-based town of Jammu & Kashmir. Most of the

inhabitants of Samba earn their livelihood from farming. Since Samba has an agro-climatic

condition, hence the crops have a high yield.

It is said that Samba was principality established somewhere in 1400 A.D. As per

folklore Malh Dev, the younger son of Rai Saidu of Lakhanpur was the founder of Samba

principality, who married into the family of Ghotar a local tribesman. After his marriage he

stayed at Samba and made himself the master of the tract with Samba as its capital. Samba

ultimately came under the supremacy of Jammu, during the period of Hari Dev, in 1816 A.D.

and in 1846 A.D. it became an integral part of the J&K State.

Samba district consists of 9 blocks: Samba, Vijaypur, Purmandal, Ramgarh, Nud, Sumb,

Bari Brahamna, Rajpur and Gagwal. The district has 100 panchayats and 2 assembly

constituencies Samba and Vijaypur. Both are part of Jammu Lok Sabha constituency Out of 382

villages, 62 villages have been detached from Tehsil Hiranagar of District Kathua and one

village from Tehsil Majalta of District Udhampur.

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 with the following

slogans;

Har Khet ko Pani

Jal Sanchaya

Jal Sinchan.

The goal of DLIC will be to develop a range of location/region specific water

management technologies to ensure food and nutritional security of district with reduced

availability of water. To achieve the target, the DLIC will aim for following,

• Efficient surface/pressurized irrigation methods to improve irrigation efficiency.

• Enhancing water productivity of rainfed ecosystems through rain water management,

alternate land use system/ farming and multiple use of rain water.

• Strategies for mitigation of drought, flood and other natural calamities in the changing

climate scenario.

• Evaluation of new materials and products to improve the performance and reduce energy

consumption of pressurized irrigation system.

• A water–land–soil resource index map to demarcate critical target areas, which warrant

immediate attention to ensure continuation of food and nutritional security along with decent

livelihood from agriculture.

• A comprehensive technology package for utilization of waste water of different qualities

including basin wise spatial and temporal mapping of availability of waste water of different

7

qualities.

• Water management practices for different crops to achieve more output per unit of water in

areas subjected to excess and deficit water stress.

• Developments of a dynamic institutional mechanism for water governance with inbuilt

flexibility to adopt changing socio-economic scenario.

• Improving the water productivity of challenged ecosystems including waterlogged and

rainfed areas.

• Small holder centric water management practices.

• Assessment of surface water, groundwater and wastewater availability and quality at district

level and to evolve management strategies using Decision Support System (DSS) for

matching water supply and demand in agricultural production systems.

• Surface and pressurized irrigation systems including small holders’ systems for enhancing

water use efficiency and water productivity for different agro-eco systems.

• Management of rain water for judicious use and to develop and evaluate groundwater

recharge technologies for augmenting groundwater availability under different hydro-

geological conditions.

• To evolve management strategies for conjunctive use of surface water, groundwater and

wastewater resources for sustainable crop production

OBJECTIVES

The broad objectives of PMKSY will be:-

1. Achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level (preparation of district

level and, if required, sub district level water use plans)

2. Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area under

assured irrigation (Har Khet ko pani),

3. Integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use, to make best use of water

through appropriate technologies and practices

4. Improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage and increase availability both in

duration and extent,

5. Enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving technologies (More

crop per drop).

6. Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices.

7. 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.

8. Promote extension activities relating to water harvesting, water management and crop

alignment for farmers and grass root level field functionaries.

9. Explore the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for periurban agriculture,

and

10. Attract greater private investments in irrigation.

9

This will in turn increase agricultural production and productivity and enhance farm

income.

The major objective of PMKSY is

• To achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level.

• Expand cultivable area under assured irrigation.

• Improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage of water.

• Enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving

technologies (more crop per drop).

• Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation

practices by exploring the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for

peri-urban agriculture.

• Attract greater private investment in precision irrigation system.

10

STRATEGY AND APPROACH.

As per PMKSY guidelines, the District Level Implementation Committee (DLIC) under

PMKSY to be chaired by the District /Collector/District Magistrate/ District Development

Commissioner and the DLIC will oversee the implementation and interdepartmental coordination

at district level and will inter-alia have following role:

• To act as the field level coordinator between the various implementation agencies/line

departments in the District and to ensure that the agreed District Irrigation Plan/ Annual

Irrigation Plan is successfully implemented.

• To prepare the District Irrigation Plan (DIP), showing the contribution of various funding

streams and programmes towards specific outputs and outcomes and seek approval of the

SLSC for the same.

• District Magistrate/Collector is the chairman of the DLIC and also responsible for the

implementation of the DIP in the district. The DIPs are prepared at two levels, the block

and the district. Keeping in view the convenience of map preparation and data collection,

the work is primarily done at block level. Block wise irrigation plan is prepared

depending on the available and potential water resources and water requirement for

agriculture sector prioritizing the activities based on socio-economic and location specific

requirement. Use of GIS Maps in land use maps in district, soil type maps of the district,

CCA Maps, cropping pattern, irrigation status and available database is appropriately

utilized for developing irrigation plans at least on pilot basis to begin with and

subsequently may be extended to all projects.

• For creating access to water source either assured or protective to each farm will require a

demand and supply assessment of crop water requirement, effective rainfall and potential

source of existing & new water sources considering geohydrological and agro ecological

11

scenario of the block. The DIP include information on all sources of available water,

distribution network, defunct water bodies, new potential water sources both surface and

sub- surface systems, application & conveyance provisions, crops and cropping system

aligned to available/designed quantity of water and suitable to local agro ecology. All

activities pertaining water harvesting, water augmentation from surface/sub surface

sources, distribution and application of water including repair renovation and restoration

of water bodies, major medium and minor irrigation works, command area development

etc. are taken up within the frame work of this master plan. Emphasis is given for

deriving potential benefit from low hanging fruits like extending the reach/coverage of

water source through effective distribution and application mechanism, reducing the gap

between potential created and utilized through more focus on command area

development and precision irrigation. Proper integration of creation of source like Check

dams and water harvesting structures, distribution system like canals and command area

development works and precision farming is made for deriving best possible use of water

resources. An attempt was made to set up an Approach for preparing the District

Irrigation Plan.

• The DIP covers broadly all the areas connected to water availability, requirement, use,

development and management. Therefore the data pertaining to preparation of DIP would

be multi-sectoral.

• The involvement of the agencies corresponding to a particular data type is shown in the

Approach prepared for DIP. The major part of the data is furnished by the State

Agencies. Accordingly, a mechanism is drawn up through a meeting at the appropriate

level for mobilizing the District & State agencies to furnish the required data through a

12

nodal officer nominated by the State Government for collection and compilation of the

data

Following Central and State agencies are involved for providing desired data:

CENTRAL AGENCIES

• Central Water Commission (CWC)

• Central Ground Water Board (CGWB)

• Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)

STATE/ DISTRICT AGENCIES

• Irrigation & Water Resources Department

• Command Area Development Authority

• Agriculture Department

• Forest Department

• Revenue Department

• State Census Department

• District Planning Department

• District Horticulture Department

• District Animal Husbandry Department

• Integrated Watershed Management Agency

• District Rural Development Department

• State Industrial Department Cooperation (SIDCO)

• Department of Industries & Commerce (DIC)

• Department of Public health Engineering (PHE)

13

The involvement of the agencies corresponding to a particular data type is shown above.

It is apparent from the above that the major volume of the required data is furnished by the State

, district departments/Agencies and accordingly a mechanism is drawn up through a meeting at

the appropriate level for mobilizing the state agencies to furnish the required data.

All the data described under Annexures will form the backbone of the DIP in terms of

getting the statistical profile of the individual blocks and the district as a whole. The physical

features, demographic / economic / social data, land use pattern and the meteorological data will

give an overview of the blocks / district and will form the statistical scenario essential for further

analysis and suggestions. The harnessed water availability in the blocks mainly obtained from

the canal supplies, the ground water recharge, and the water available in the small water bodies

and the check dams built across various blocks in the district. The analysis will further look into

the avenues of increasing the water availability in the blocks through various schemes which are

ongoing / contemplated. The present and projected water requirement is also essential for getting

the surplus / deficit scenario of the blocks and the district. The agricultural, domestic, industrial,

energy, etc water requirements is calculated by utilizing the various parameters which have been

included in the data requirement such as gross sown area / net sown area / gross irrigated area /

net irrigated area, present and projected population, industrial units, power plants, etc. The

harnessed water availability and the present / projected water requirement will give a surplus

deficit scenario of the blocks / district. Based on the above the actionable suggestions are

proposed that can be taken up in a phased manner for implementation of the schemes so that the

resource can be utilized sustainably in the future.

14

OUTPUT OF THE DIP

The DIP would broadly attempt to focus on bringing out the actionable areas in the

following domain subject to the availability of data from various agencies:

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Projects (Major/Medium/Minor/Old Water Bodies schemes / Ground water Development

Schemes etc.) that need to be formulated to cater present and future demands of various sectors

at the block level.

Early completion of ongoing projects under various schemes for catering to the water

requirement, Identification of sources and funding arrangements for various projects in the

pipeline.

Irrigation Potential Utilized and the reasons for the gap between IPC and IPU, Command

area development program in the various command areas,

Need for increased focus on improving water conveyance efficiency and water application

efficiency in the command areas.

DEMAND MANAGEMENT

The existing pricing policy, revenue collection and maintenance of water delivery

infrastructure / facilities. Role of Water User Association through Participatory Irrigation

Management for demand management.

STEPS INVOVLED FOR PREPARATION OF DIP

• Input Data Identification

• Identification of line Departments/ Agencies of Central, State & District

• Identification of Nodal officer for District for coordination with line Departments/

Agencies

15

• Collection, Compilation of Data for Statistical Details of the District

• Analysis of the Statistical Details of the District

• Actionable Areas of implementation of DIP.

• Development Strategy, Management Strategy, R&D Strategy, Funding Arrangement.

• Monitoring & Evaluation.

On the above lines the present DIP for Samba district is prepared duly taking into

consideration the data collected from all the line departments and converging the data of all the

departments in each block and thus a realistic action plan is arrived as presented in the format 5.1

for 5-7 years.

The total requirement of this comprehensive DIP is coming to Rs 42798.43 Lac for 5-7

years.

Rationale / Justification Statement

Water provides goods (e.g. drinking-water, irrigation water) and services (e.g.

hydroelectricity generation, recreation and amenity) that are utilized by agriculture, industry and

households. Provision of many of these goods and services is interrelated, determined by the

quantity and quality of available water. Management and allocation of water entails

consideration of its unique characteristics as a resource. Characteristics of demand for water for

irrigation relate to quantity, location, timing and quality. Irrigation generally requires large

volumes of water, which can be low in quality. This is in contrast to household use of water, for

example, which requires low quantities of water of high quality. The large volumes of water

required for irrigation usually have to be transported over some distance to the field. For surface

water, canals and pipes can enable conveyance; in the case of groundwater, extraction is

provided via tube wells. In terms of timing, demand for irrigation water can extend through the

growing season and, where adequate supplies are available, extend into the dry season for

multiple cropping. Peak demand for irrigation water does not usually coincide with peak flows of

surface water. This creates the need for storage capacity, which naturally occurring water bodies

(lakes, wetlands and aquifers) or specially constructed dams may provide.

Agriculture has been very successful at capturing the major share of the district’s

exploitable water resources. A new and more suitable approach to water resources allocation is

necessary if the world’s population is to be adequately fed, without further degradation and

destruction of the planet’s critical ecosystem services. Water productivity needs to be enhanced

considerably, and economic cost-benefit analysis and pricing regimes can play a significant role

in such a process. However, these economic measures will not be sufficient on their own. They

will need to be buttressed by technological innovation and institutional changes in order to

17

encourage a more equitable distribution of resources and to mitigate interstate conflicts across

'shared' water basins.

Water has unique characteristics that determine both its allocation and use as a resource

by agriculture. Agricultural use of water for irrigation is itself contingent on land resources. In a

situation of growing water scarcity and rising demands for non-agricultural (household and

industrial) use of water, reassessment of sectoral allocations of water are inevitable. In samba

district, irrigated agriculture plays a vital role in contributing towards domestic food security and

poverty alleviation. Therefore, achievement of these objectives is dependent on adequate

allocations of water to agriculture. Justification of such allocations requires that irrigated

agriculture be a cost-effective means of achieving stated political or social objectives, such as

food security or poverty alleviation, and that all externalities be taken into account in the pricing

mechanism. Improved allocation of irrigation water is required within the agriculture sectors in

order to achieve greater efficiency in the use of irrigation water and existing irrigation

infrastructure.

Water used for irrigation comes from surface water or groundwater. The use of

groundwater for irrigation enables the extension of irrigated area beyond that which surface

water alone can support. In addition, it assists with drainage of the soil (by lowering the

groundwater table and providing drainage of soil water into tubewells). Groundwater can

supplement surface water during periods of low flow, making surface water available for

alternative uses.

A modern industrial complex is established on the bank of river Basantar at Samba

named as Industrial Growth Center. A number of small & medium industrial units have been

established and have provided job opportunities not only to the educated unemployed youths, but

also to the labourers, skilled and un-skilled by starting their own ventures in the private sector.

To protect the traditional art of the area, the Government has established a Handloom

Development Project at Samba and is providing employment opportunities to a large number of

traditional weavers of Samba town and they are earning their livelihood by way of weaving of

clothes for the project. Samba is also famous in traditional Calico Printing, where local made

dyes are used for printing locally weaved cotton fabric.

1.4 Agro-Ecology, Climate, Hydrology and Topography;

Samba town is situated on range of Shivalik hills alongside the National Highway 1-A on

the bank of river Basantar at a distance of forty kms from Jammu city. District Samba is bounded

by District Udhampur in the North, District Kathua in the East, Tehsils Jammu and Bishnah of

District Jammu in the west, while on the southern side it has International Border with Pakistan.

About two third of the area of District Samba is Kandi & rain fed. The area on southern side

downside the national highway is irrigated through Ravi Tawi Irrigation canal network and

contributing towards major cereals crop and vegetable cultivation as special focus has been

assigned by the Government of India, Ministry of Water Resources through Command Area

Development Department.

Total geographical area of the district is 91374 ha which supports agriculture and allied

sectors and provides subsistence to majority of the population. Primary occupation of the

22

inhabitants of the district is farming coupled with animal husbandry and horticulture. The district

supports about one bovine per head as illustrated in the statistical data, but the availability of

animal proteins for human consumption is low.

The climate of the district being Low altitude sub tropical zone is hot and dry in summer

and cold in winter. Being in the foot hills of the mountains, nights are bit cooler than that of

neighboring areas of Punjab. The temperature ranges between 6 degree Celsius and 47 degree

Celsius. The altitude of the district at annual mean sea level (amsl) is 348 mt. The climate of the

district is characterized by hot summer and is generally dry except during the south-west

monsoon season. The year may be divided into four seasons. The cold season from November to

March is followed by the summer season from March to June. The period from June to

September constitute the south west monsoon season, while October and November from the

post monsoon season. The region receives rainfall during winters due to western disturbances.

The mean annual normal rainfall is 1156.5 mm with 54 rainy days, about 85% of annual

rainfall is received during the south-west monsoon season, July being the peak rainy month. The

variation in the Annual rainfall from year is not large.

There is a no meteorological observatory station in the district whereas the data is

collected from the nearest observatory at SKUAST-Jammu Chattha Campus. The cold weather

commences towards the end of November when the temperature begins to fall rapidly.

The relative humidity is generally high during the south-west monsoon season. The air is

generally dry during the rest of the year,

The climate of the district is characterized by hot summer and is generally dry except

during the S-W monsoon season.

About two third of the area of District Samba is Kandi & rain fed. The area on southern

side downside the national highway is irrigated through Ravi Tawi Irrigation canal network.

From the hydrological point of view, Basantar River flows through the district from block sumb,

samba, vijaypur and Ramgarh and then flows to Pakistan. Whereas, Devak River rises from

Purmandal and then flows through Vijaypur and meet with Basantar river at Ramgarh block.

DISTRICT WATER PROFILE

Growing population coupled with sustainable developmental efforts has an increasing

stress on water resources. The uneven distribution over time and space of water resources and

their modification through human use and abuse are sources of water crises in many parts of the

world. All these result in intensifying the pressure on water resources leading to tensions,

conflict among users and excessive pressure on the environment. These demand the planners and

policy makers for a proper management of water resources. This, in turn, calls for a reliable and

adequate statistics on water and related aspects.

According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

(UNESCO) estimates, the total volume of water on earth is about 1.4 billion km3, which is

enough to cover the earth with a layer of 3 km depth. However, World's oceans cover about

three-fourths of earth’s surface while the fresh water constitutes a very small proportion of this

enormous quantity available on the earth. It is only about 35 million km3 or 2.5% of the total

volume. Of these, 24 million km3 or 68.9% is in the form of ice and permanent snow cover in

mountainous regions, and in the Antarctic and Arctic regions and another 29.9% is present as

ground water (shallow and deep groundwater basins up to 2,000 meters). The rest 0.3% is

available in lakes, rivers (0.3%) and 0.9% in soil moisture, swamp water and permafrost

atmosphere. Some useful facts and figures on world's water is presented in Box 1 and Box 2.

Box 1: Some Facts and Figures on Water

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

• The daily drinking water requirement per person is 2-4 litres, but it takes 2000 to 5000

litres of water to produce one person's daily food.

• It takes 1000-3000 litres of water to produce just one kilo of rice.

28

• In 2007, the estimated number of undernourished people worldwide was 923 million.

• Over the period to 2050 the world's water will have to support the agricultural systems

that will feed and create livelihoods for an additional 2.7 billion people.

• The extent of land under irrigation in the world is 277 million hectares, about 20 percent

of all cropland. Rainfed agriculture is practiced on the remaining 80 percent of the arable

land.

• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts yields from rain-dependent

agriculture could be down by 50 percent by 2020.

• Due to climate change, Himalayan snow and ice, which provide vast amounts of water

for agriculture in Asia, are expected to decline by 20 percent by 2030.

• Irrigation increases yields of most crops by 100 to 400 percent, and irrigated agriculture

currently contributes to 40 percent of the world's food production.

• Water use has been growing at more than the rate twice of population increase in the last

century.

• By 2025, 1800 million people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water

scarcity, and two-thirds of the world population could be under stress conditions.

• World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP)

• Poor drainage and irrigation practices have led to water logging and salinization of

approximately 10 percent of the world's irrigated lands.

District Samba has total 0.416886090955 BCM water (both Surface and Ground water)

available for irrigation

side downside the national highway is irrigated through Ravi-Tawi Irrigation canal network and

contributing towards major cereals and vegetable cultivation, as special focus has been assigned

by the Government of India, Ministry of Water Resources through Command Area Development

Department.

Total geographical area of the district is 91374 ha with net cropped area accounting for

39203 ha, out of which an area of 14409 Ha is irrigated, supporting agriculture and allied sectors

and provides subsistence to majority of the population. Primary occupation of the inhabitants of

2.2 PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF MAJOR CROPS.

During Kharif season crops such as; Paddy, Maize, Mash/ Moong & Til and during Rabi

season Wheat, gram & mustard are cultivated in the district besides fodder and vegetables. The

per hectare productivity varies from 22300 Kgs to 28050 kgs for Kharif crops and 20985 kgs to

26083 kgs for Rabi crops in rainfed and irrigated areas of the district respectively.

With the ever increasing population pressure more food grains is required to satisfy the

demand, thus vertical expansion of the agriculture is the need of the hour. Constant efforts are

under way in this direction viz; creating more irrigation potential and introduction of new /

improved varieties to get maximum productivity per hectare in the district. With the increase in

area of the district under assured irrigation the gap in productivity per unit are in rainfed and

irrigated areas can be abridged.

3.2 STATUS OF GROUND WATER

The entire district, command and Non Command areas, falls under Safe Category.

Although, all the blocks of district area, categorized as ‘Safe’, irrigation by ground water is

developing fast in the recent decades. Farmers are seen constructing Bore wells for irrigation

purpose without much consideration of well spacing, resulting in adverse impact on the ground

water regime in some of the blocks, which has caused the water levels to deplete.

WATER REQUIREMENT/DEMAND.

This chapter deals with Crop water requirement for domestic, Irrigation, Livestock and

Industrial purposes.

4.1 DOMESTIC WATER DEMAND

Total Population for District Samba during 2015 is around 318898 (Three Lac Eighty

Eight Thousand and Ninety Eight Only) and as per growth rate projected population in 2020 it is

estimated be 420261 (Four lac twenty thousand two hundred and sixty one only) . Average

Per capita Domestic water requirement is 135 liters per day; Based on this information Gross

water Demand for Whole District in current year is 0.04305123 BCM. The projected gross water

demand in 2020 will be 0.056735299 BCM. With the increase in population the demand of

water will also increases substantially. Due to modern living standards water usage per capita has

increased multifold. Also with the help of technological innovations there are tube wells at every

home and everyday their count is increasing. People have also started using water filtration

techniques like R.O. devices which consumes more water.

4.2 CROP WATER DEMAND

Water requirement of a crop is the quantity of water needed for normal growth and yield

and may be supplied by precipitation or by irrigation or by both. Water is needed mainly to meet

the demands of evaporation (E), transpiration (T) and metabolic need of the plant, all together

known as Consumptive Use (CU),

CU = E + T + Water needed for Metabolic Purposes

Water requirement is a demand whereas the supply consists of contribution from

irrigation water, effective rainfall (ER) and soil profile contribution including that from shallow

water table. The water requirement of any crop is dependent upon

• Crop factors- variety, growth, stage, duration, plant population and growing season.

• Soil factors- texture, structure, depth, topography.

• Climate factor- temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity.

• Crop management practices- fillage, fertilization, weeding, etc. Water requirement of a

crop varies from area to area and even sometimes from field to field on a farm depending

on the above mentioned factors.

Total crop water demand for 2015 is 0.426712850 BCM. Existing water availability is

0.225625000 BCM. Hence 0.201087850 BCM potential has to be created for 2015.

For 2020, estimated water demand is 0.800896 BCM. To accommodate more crops and

increase the productivity of crops, efficient water management techniques like Drip, Sprinkler,

pipelines and micro-sprinkler will be promoted. Major percentage of crop water demand is for

paddy and wheat crops only, which is around 79 % of total crop water demand.

4.7 Water Budget

To prepare Water Budget for the district, first we calculated the village-wise water

demand and its availability, thus we reached out to Block-wise demand and its availability. Total

water availability, we calculated on the basis of Surface and Ground water availability. Ramgarh,

Vijaypur & Ghagwal block has the largest availability; the only issue is in the distribution of

water, which needs to be efficiently managed so that water can be utilized in other blocks and

reaches to every single farm in the district. All other blocks has deficiency of water and to

compete with it, many structures needs to be formed, which includes Check Dam, Percolation

tank, etc, so that rain-water runoff is collected and used in irrigation purposes. Every drop of

water is precious that is why advance agricultural techniques like Drip, Sprinkler, Mulching, etc

needs to be promoted. The table 4.7 gives block wise data of water availability, water demand

and water gap for current and future.

PROBABLE BENEFITS OF THE PLAN

Following benefits are intended from the proposed DIP

Through PMKSY, we are envisaging to increase irrigation potential in the district. Under

AIBP, medium irrigation projects are proposed in the plan which shall increase the irrigation

potential. The model irrigation plan envisages educating the farmers to adhere to the scientific

practices in the command area of district. This will increase the crop production per unit area of

agriculture land and ensure the recycling of ground water in a balanced manner.

Under Har Kheth ko Paani, Lift irrigation projects proposed shall enable to provide

irrigation access to some of the rainfed blocks in the district favoring second cropping during the

Rabi season. As such majority of the agriculture in Samba is rainfed and the aforementioned

minor irrigation projects will facilitate better availability of water.

A lot of Water Harvesting and conservation structures, like Farm Ponds, Check Dams,

Percolation Tanks, Nallah bunds are proposed which shall enhance the Net Irrigated Area. This

shall be undertaken in convergence with MGNREGS and Integrated Watershed Management

Program.

On the other hand, there is depletion of ground water levels in Samba district. Hence the

plan has proposed for many ground water table recharge structures. This shall favour micro

irrigation activities in the region mainly drip and sprinkler irrigation. This will also spur a change

in cropping patterns and farmers will show interests towards vegetable and other horticultural

crops. This can be boost commercial precision agriculture fostering local economy. There is high

potential for micro irrigation in Samba and the plan has proposed for maximum utilization of the

same. Nearly 10% of the total cropped area can be brought under micro-irrigation system.

Target of “More Crop per Drop” will be achieved.

71

New Structures shall provide more surface water opportunities and shall act as support

for the live stock. This is one of the major water needs that goes unnoticed. The plan has

proposed for cattle troughs and village ponds that favour cattle and other livestock.

Increased Water Availability shall spur many Agro-based industries in the region providing

employment generation.

Conclusion • The holistic irrigation plan was prepared at Block level & District level.

• PMKSY DIP will fulfill the resource gap in the irrigation chain.

• Irrigation to every farm will be achieved through completion of medium & surface minor

projects proposed under AIBP.

• Under Per Drop More crop, we will achieve enhance cropping & productivity which

leads to rural prosperity.

• Irrigated area of the district is 14409 ha and it is proposed to bring 25831 Ha under

irrigation under PMKSY.

• This action plan proposes for better water use efficiency & management along with best

distribution of water sources.

Recommendations

Samba district has high availability of water both through rainfall and rivers, streams

intersecting the mainland. However much of the potential has not been capitalized till date.

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayi Yojana is a boon at this important juncture of Samba especially

in this new phase of development after the District formation. The district has to undergo a

transformational phase of development mainly in irrigation as agriculture is the spine of the

district’s economy. Access to irrigation to small and marginal farmers who comprise nearly 70 %

of total farmers, alone shall bring a synergy in rural economy and it is high time the water

potential of Samba is utilized to its fullest.
