RAMTHAL (MAROL) COMMUNITY DRIP IRRIGATION
PROJECT FOR 24,000 Ha. OF COMMAND IN HUNGUND
TALUK OF BAGALKOT DISTRICT, KARNATAKA
An Initiative By
Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigam Limited(A Govt. of Karnataka Undertaking)
A STEP TOWARDS ADVANCED AGRICULTURE IN COMMUNITY IRRIGATION PROJECTS 2
KARNATAKA
RAMTHAL(MORAL) LIS AT HUNGUND TQ. BAGALKOT DISTRICT
KBJNL has implemented Drip Irrigation under 2nd Stage of
Ramthal (Marol) LIS Project for 24,000 Ha. of Command Area in
Hungund Taluk of Bagalkot District.
The Project is commissioned and started irrigation from
Khariff’2017. This is the one of the largest
of its kind Drip Irrigation
Project in the World.
KBJNL is also considering
developing downstream
linkage with Agri-processing
firms for better price
realisation for farmers.
Implementation of this project
will result in economical use
of water, increase in irrigation
potential and yield, and all
these benefits will together
contribute to improving the
economic status of farmers in
the region.3

UNIQUENESS OF PROJECT
Its mega Community Drip
Irrigation Project
Total beneficiaries = 15,000 plus
farmers
Total infrastructure cost is by Govt.
System operation is through
wireless automation
O&M of the system for first 5 years
is our responsibility
Formation of WUA & Marketing
Linkages
Irrigation is only for partial command
area – 80% during Kharif Season &
50% during Rabi season6
ENHANCED YIELDS, QUALITY AND UNIFORMITY
– Lowers dependence on weather, enabling greater control over yields & peace of
mind.
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER YIELDS
– Irrigation uses resources more effectively, leading to higher overall yield
production.
INCREASES PROFITIBILITY
– Increasing profits with enhanced crop planning, irrigation scheduling, while
reducing input and manpower costs.
SIGNIFICANT RESOURCE SAVINGS
– Drip uses 30%-50% less water and up to 30% less nutrients.
DRIP IRRIGATION OFFERS SEVERAL ADVANTAGES

Efficiency
Irrigation Methods
40%-60%
90%-95%
Efficiency is defined as the maximum output per unit of area and input.
DRIP IS THE MOST EFFICIENT IRRIGATION METHOD THAT INCREASES
YIELDS, BY USING LESS WATER, NUTRIENTS AND ENERGY

Automation System
As Ramthal is community Drip Irrigation Project
involving about 6700 beneficiaries, the operational
mechanism should be simple, sturdy & technically
viable with minimum no of control points. Accordingly
our proposed automation system is as follows :
Zone Level Controls :
• Primary fully automatic filter, NMC XL Irrigation
Controller with RTU, antenna, solar panel etc
• Every zone will have about 100 solenoid valves &10
sub- zone level water meters. Other components like
RTU, expansion cards, antenna etc will be wherever
necessary
Sub-Zone Level Controls :
• Water meter, RTU, antenna, lithium battery, group of
solenoid (wherever possible)
• Sub-zone will have 10 solenoid valves & a water meter
with other automation components as necessary
Infield Automation :
• Group of 2-4 solenoid valves each serving 4-6 Ha area,
RTU, antenna, lithium battery etc
The master controller will be connected
with computer in pump house which will
communicate with other zone level
controllers. The log of info like time of
operation of solenoid valves, water meter
readings etc will be monitored with
computer. 10
General outline of the WUA :• The entire package 1 Project Area will act as a one Water User Federation
(WAF).
• Optimum size of WUA as 500 Ha which will be easy to maintain from operation
point of view.
• The 500 Ha Zone is then further divided in 10 nos. Water User Group (WUG) @
50 Ha area of sub zone.
Formation of Water User Association (WUA)

• Doubled the no of project beneficiaries with same
resources
• With 2.77 TMC of water, irrigating 24,000 Ha area
with Drip system as against 12,571 Ha in flood
method.
• Improved standard of living of project beneficiaries
• Equitable Distribution of Water -Irrespective of
topography & distance of farm from the water
source
• Incremental returns to all the project associates.
RAMTHAL PROJECT : IMPACT

15 Thousand Farmers“This project of 24 thousand hectares is going to change the
lives of 15 thousand farmers, with same quantity of water
double the area under irrigation, with same per Ha capital cost,
same or lesser per Ha power requirement, reduced land
acquisition requirement and reduced project execution time”
