KARNATAKA INTEGRATED AND SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT PROGRAM 1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
Introduction Karnataka is a water stressed State in India with ever increasing inter-sectoral water demands, the major sector being agriculture. With the assistance of the Asian Development Bank (the Bank), the State Government of Karnataka has launched the Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resources Management Investment Program (the Program), with the objective of improving water availability for competing water demands in the selected river basins by implementing integrated water resources management (IWRM) and improving irrigation services delivery in the State. The program is expected to increase water use efficiency, and provide economic opportunities, in particular, to women, and improve rural incomes. The focus of the Program for implementation of physical works is Krishna Basin, in specific, the Tungabhadra Sub-basin. However, the IWRM activities will be implemented State-wide. The multi-tranche financing facility (MFF) for the KISWRMIP and the periodic financing request (PFR) for Project-1 were approved by ADB on 25 September 2014 and 17 October 2014 respectively. The total cost of the investment program over the period 2014-2021 is expected to be $225 million, with ADB financing amounting to $150 million. Project 1, estimated at $48 million, is expected to be completed by September 2018. Project 1 financing comprises $31 million from ADB’s ordinary capital resources, $16.6 million from the Government of Karnataka (GOK), and $400,000 of beneficiary contribution. The loan effective from 13 July 2015 is scheduled for closing on 31 March 2019. Project Management Unit Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Limited (KNNL) is the Executing Agency for Implementation of ADB assisted KISWRMIP. The Project Management Unit (PMU) is headed by the Project Director and Managing Director, KNNL with its headquarters at Bengaluru. Project Implementation Offices (PIOs) are headed by Chief Engineer of Upper Tunga Project Zone, Shivamogga for Project-1 and Chief Engineer of Irrigation Central Zone for Project 2 at Munirabad. M/s SMEC International Pty. Ltd., Australia has been contracted as the Project Support Consultants by KNNL to provide consultancy services for the Tranche-1.

Quarterly Progress Report January-March 2017
The overall physical progress is 28% as against the target of 43% of the total programme as of 31 March 2017. The overall financial progress achieved as of 31 March 2017 is Rs.47.16 crores as against Rs.54.86 crores which is 42% against the planned 49% of the total estimate. The overall progress upto the first fortnight of November 2016 was at par with program. Subsequently, the progress has not kept with the programme due to the embankment issue in the canals in particular the RBC. PSC has been highlighting this matter with senior officials of KNNL who are exploring ways of addressing the issue. As the S Curves show, about 90.92% lining of the LBC has been completed. Lining of RBC achieved is 18.36% only majorly due to the embankment issue. The lining in the tail end area under RBC is under progress while construction of structures is taking place throughout the length of the canals. The Chief Engineer has been conducting regular meetings with both departmental officials as well as the contractor to hasten the progress and achieve the targets. He has instructed the contractor to mobilize more manpower and machinery to make best use of the extended closure period currently available. Similarly, he instructed the SE and EE to closely monitor the progress. The Chief Engineer is also making field inspections and PSC often joins the team in addition to its own field visits.
1.8.2 PHYSICAL PROGRESS The physical progress as of 31 March 2017 is as follows: • Gondi LBC Lining: 12.82 km of GLBC out of 14.735 km has been completed. Out of 74 structures, 66 are completed. • Gondi RBC Lining: 13.49 km of GRBC out of 74.239 km has been completed. Out of 395 structures, 141 completed. • Distributaries Lining: Out of 26.64 km (of GRBC), 23.91 completed. Out of 212 structures, 47 completed.

2 PROJECT ACTIVITIES DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
The Quarterly Progress Report submitted herewith is for Quarter 1 (January-March) of 2017 (Q1Y3). This report does not include Output 1 as the same will be reported by ACIWRM separately. Water User Cooperative Societies The project recognises the critical role of WUCS for the success of Gondi Modernization and Participatory Irrigation Management. As most of the WUCS were in dormant state, PSC has focused on institutional building of WUCS along with their capacity building.
The following are some of the several activities taken up by PSC: • Introduction of the concept of IWRM in the modernization programme and its integrated approach; • Listing out the main physical works and other components of the programme; • Disseminating information on the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders (KNNL, CADA, PSC, Agriculture, Rural development, etc.); • Social mapping of the area with the help of WUCS, with focus on prevalent water supply systems and water availability, inclusive of tail end reaches; • Educating farmers on the process of implementation of CAD packages; • Sharing the implementation plan of each WUCS, including water tariff collection, operation & maintenance, monitoring etc. • Mapping livelihood activities carried out under various government schemes (as that of Department of women & Child development, Panchayat, MNREGA, etc.) • Sharing background information on ADB Safeguard Principles and Communication Strategy during meetings for better comprehension of the role of different stakeholders.
Further, the PSC supported by experts and its Support Service Team (SST) members (in place since 15 September 2016) has been visiting all the 10 WUCS regularly and interacting with the WUCS members to: (a) make them active in terms of holding regular meetings, and carrying out activities as per bye-laws; (b) prepare them for active participation in the ongoing Gondi Modernization Project by informing them about the project, broad details of modernization and the need for their taking up CAD packages, and (c) enhance WUCS directors’ and members’ awareness about their roles and responsibilities in Participatory Irrigation Management. Alongside, the PSC has also been focusing on improving women’s participation in the project including enhancing their formal role in both the WUCS and the project.
2.1.1 WUCS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE AND ONE-TIME GRANT The vibrancy of any people’s institution or group is also a function of the strength of its members. To make the Gondi WUCS vibrant, PSC continued to work for increasing the number of active members with a view to enhancing not only their participation but also the amount of shareholders fee collected. The shareholders fee also helps in leveraging higher mobilization amount from CADA at the rate of Rs.1080/- per hectare based on hectare contribution (Rs. 120/ha (farmer)+ Rs. 960/ha (CADA) by each farmer. The higher amount thus collected is usually held in a bank as deposit which also fetches interest returns. Since 2014-15, CADA has banned use of interest proceeds for salary payment to secretaries or for office expenses Table 11: WUCS Membership and One-time Grant

(ii) Source: Bank details available with WUCS offices. Table 11 also shows that with the increase in the number of members, the monetary contribution has also increased significantly. The one-time grant which is also a function of the membership collected also shows a significant jump. During the reporting period, four WUCS, namely, Seegebagi, Doddaguppenahalli, Tallikatte and Kakekodamagge have received CADA grant. Another four WUCS, namely, Nagathibelagalu,Babhalli, Barandur & Koppa Doddakere have submitted proposal to CADA and are expected to receive grants shortly.
2.1.2 UPDATION OF DEMAND, COLLECTION AND BALANCE BOOK PSC has identified the need for updation of the Demand, Collection and Balance (DCB) book. The DCB has a direct bearing on the collection of irrigation water charges from farmers which is one of the core functions of the WUCS. The Demand collection and Balance (DCB) book and the khatadars list (farmers list) available with the Irrigation Department is 17 years old. Many changes in the ownership have reportedly taken place due to various reasons including death of many farmers, and crops and cropping pattern. PSC carried out correspondence with the Revenue Tahasildar with a request to update the DCB and the farmers list which would help WUCS in the collection of water charges.
2.1.3 FORMATION OF SUB COMMITTEES PSC continued to facilitate formation of Sub Committees as per bye laws to ensure broader participation as well as diffusion of responsibilities such as collection of membership fee and one time contribution amount, collection of water tax and operation and maintenance of works, monitoring the quality of work during execution of CAD works, conflict resolution, and water distribution based on cropping pattern. The sub committees can also help enhance the participation of women thereby mainstreaming them.

Quarterly Progress Report January-March 2017
PSC has been encouraging and facilitating WUCS to form sub committees by explaining the effectiveness of the same. During the reporting period, sub committees have been formed in the following WUCS as per details given: Table 12: Sub committees and Women Representation
S. No. Name of the WUCS No. of sub No. of WUCS Women No. of Committees Directors Directors achkatdars 1 Tallikatte 2 2 2 18 2 Nagatibelagalu 6 5 1 36 3 Kagekodmagge 3 4 2 9
2.1.4 REPRESENTATION IN WUCS BOARD ACROSS REACHES PSC has prepared a list of board members and their area of representation as a function of the head, middle and tail end canal reaches. Table 13: Representation in WUCS Board, Canal Reachwise
Sl. Total Reach wise representation Name of the WUCS No. Directors Head Reach Middle Reach Tail end 1 Barandur 9 2 2 5 2 Seegebagi 10 2 5 3 3 Tallikatte 10 4 3 3 4 Nagatibelagalu 9 0 8 1 5 Kagekodmagge 9 2 3 4 6 Babhalli 10 3 4 3 7 Dasarakallahalli 11 3 5 3 8 Koppa Doddakere 9 3 5 2 9 Holehonnur 11 3 5 3 10 Doddaguppenhalli 10 3 4 3 Note: *Dasarakallahalli and Holehonnur elected one extra member; 10 elected members are mandatory. The total number of members in each of the WUCS should be 10 (elected)+1 (section engineer); another secretary is appointed by the WUCS. However, it can be observed from the Table 14 that the total membership is falling short of the 10 members in a few WUCS. This is due to reasons such as death of a member and non-responsiveness. While elections are held once in five years, in the meanwhile, shortfall members can be elected on obtaining permission from District Cooperative Society. PSC is addressing this issue. As can be seen from the Table 13, there is a reasonably good representation from the middle and lower reaches except in one or two cases such as Nagatibelagalu and Koppa Doddakere. The middle and lower reaches farmers are often the sufferers in terms of lower inflows into the canals in their areas, in particular, during lower water supply periods. This ensures that there is scope for voicing the problems faced by middle and lower reaches farmers in the WUCS.

Quarterly Progress Report January-March 2017
2.1.5 NEW WUCS Mudla vetlapura WUCS was formed in the year 2000 and functioned only for around six months. The president expired and the WUCS became dormant in the absence of an effective leader. Since the WUCS was not active, it was not included in the PPTA of the KISWRMIP. Nevertheless, Mudla vetlapura WUCS has a bank account, audit report for 2014-15 and 60 members registered as shareholders. WUCS has an ayacut of 435 ha in Bhadra and 172.47 ha in Gondi. After discussions with the concerned divisional engineers and the Chief Engineer, it was decided to take up Mudalavittalapura with Gondi ayacut only as part of the project. Currently the 10 existing WUCS cover CCA of 4124.7 ha out of the project estimation of 4600 ha. The balance therefore is 340.3 ha CCA. Hence, it is possible to accommodate a 11th WUCS. Necessary documentation was prepared by PSC to enable KNNL and CADA to issue guidelines for forming the new WUCS.
2.1.6 MAINSTREAMING LEFT OUT VILLAGES It was noticed that 5 villages in the ayacut area were left out of the project area. PSC brought this to the notice of KNNL after which in depth discussions were held among the Chief Engineer and divisional engineers. Finally, it was concluded that this area could be included in Koppadodkkare WUCS. A draft notification to this effect was issued by KNNL calling for objections if any. As there were no objections received during the mandatory two weeks period, KNNL issued a final notification bringing the five villages with an ayacut of 326.47 ha into Koppa Doddakere WUCS.
2.1.7 THIRD BASELINE ASSESSMENT OF WUCS To render the WUCS vibrant, and to monitor the change in terms of their functioning, PSC conducted the first round of Baseline Assessment during September/October 2016. The assessment made against 29 parameters brought to light the poor institutional performance of WUCS. Based on the findings of the assessment, an Action Plan (see first baseline assessment report) was developed and implemented between October and December 2016. A second baseline assessment was carried out in December 2016, and the third in March 2017 to monitor the change (see Annexure 1).
To implement the action plans developed after each of the baseline assesments, PSC has discussed the baseline results and actions needed with the WUCS directors and other members. For this purpose, several field visits were made, meetings and focus group discussions organised. Actions taken included the following:
• Enhancing awareness among WUCS/members of the Gondi Modernization project objectives and activities, and their role in it; • Establishing and registering WUCS where they are not yet formed; • Establishing WUCS Office, equipping WUCS with relevant information and records and helping them update their records; • Creating awareness among farmers about the roles and responsibilities of WUCS in irrigation service delivery including crop water planning, water management, minor and CAD system O&M, water charge collection and remittance; • Formation of Sub committees as required by the bye-laws; • Mobilizing non-member farmers to become members of their WUCS. In addition, PSC organised to collect maps of each WUCS area, and arranged for display the coloured map in their ‘office space’. Similarly, communication material developed earlier is also displayed.

Quarterly Progress Report January-March 2017
Another point of focus was promoting discussion with the aim of encouraging WUCS to sign MOU with KNNL. Post this, the WUCS will also be eligible for a one-time grant deposited in their bank account by CADA which would help swell the corpus with interest proceeds from time to time.
Broadly, the following are the preliminary findings from the third baseline assessment:
• All the WUCS now have identified an office, set up registers, files and records. • All the WUCS now have appointed a secretary to assist them in office administration. • All the WUCS have conducted a General Body meeting in September. • All the WUCS are now registered; MoU with KNNL to be entered. • Some WUCS who have not obtained one-time grant are encouraged to pursue. • All the WUCS are now aware of the ADB supported KISWRMIP and are in preparation for entering into MoU with KNNL. Further, • Some WUCS, namely, Kagekodamagge, Dasarakallhalli, Seegebagi, Tallikatte and Barandur have completed audit with the support of PSC. Others are in progress. • Kagekodamagge and Tallikatte WUCS have now begun collecting water charges based on the cropping pattern under the guidance of the PSC. Others are also being encouraged. • Guiding WUCS members to elect new committees as per norms: Dasarakallhalli WUCS is in the process of completing elections. Renewing MoU with a defunct WUCS One WUCS, namely, Sri Veerbhadreswara Holehonnur WUCS, was declared defunct by CADA because the AGM and other mandatory audit processes were not carried out from the year 2010 onwards. Interaction of PSC with CADA for recommendation and with the Director of Cooperatives on a regular basis led to recognition of WUCS by the Director of Cooperatives. Details of WUCS Gram Panchayatwise During the quarter, PSC visited all the villages and Anganwadis for the purpose of collection of socio economic data. During the process, PSC team has prepared grampachyatwise list of all villages under WUCS. A total of 38 villages fall under 18 gram panchayats while 12 villages come under the CMC area of 5 WUCS.

2.2.4 AWARD FOR WUCS During the WUCS workshop held on 20 October 2017, KNNL and CADA announced award for three best performing WUCS. During the current quarter, PSC has developed a draft document containing criteria for selection of WUCS for the award. The goal would be the sustainability of Water Users Cooperative Societies (WUCS) as a first form of participatory management approach in the irrigation sector, and their success with respect to the adequacy and quality of the service provided as well as financial control. These goals would be monitored and evaluated periodically. The quantitative and qualitative indicators are simple and cover environmental, socio-economic, managerial, institutional, and technical aspects. The quarterly assessment shall focus on institutional aspects, management and financial aspects, socio-economic and environmental impacts, efficiency in operation and maintenance of irrigation schemes and facilities, and irrigation performance. Gondi O&M, And Asset Management Plan For the purpose of preparing an Operation and Maintenance Plan (OMP) for Gondi Irrigation System, PSC continued to pursue for data from the divisional offices. During the reporting period, PSC has made some more field visits of the Gondi project area, interacted with CADA and KNNL engineers, and WUCS representatives to understand the current practice of operation and maintenance of canal infrastructure. During the previous reporting period, formats were developed and shared with KNNL for obtaining information regarding existing asset management scenario, and operational and maintenance costs. Some data and maps could be collected and some more information is expected to be available shortly. PSC has also met the Chief Engineer, SE and EE in this context.It is planned to complete the O&M plan and asset management plan by 30 April 2017. Safeguard Monitoring For Gondi Irrigation System During the reporting quarter, PSC reviewed the implementation of EMP by the Contractor RPP Infra Projects on Gondi Irrigation System modernization project. PSC visited the Contractor’s office, Batching Plant and the construction sites to look into the progress made by the Contractor in implementing the Environmental Management Plan. The following are the observations by PSC:
1. The Contractor is maintaining the following documents: a. Cleaning Register to record the weekly cleaning activities carried out at the Staff and Office Quarters; b. EMP Manual for Land Management, Dust Management and Noise Management – recording approvals of the farmers/ land owners for disposal of silt; recording instances of water sprinkling for dust management and recording instances of noise issues raised by the community and the action taken by the Contractor to address the community concerns; c. Environmental Checklist especially in terms of environmental issues at construction sites have been maintained; d. Medical Camp Register to record the medical camp events carried out by the Contractor for the office staff, workers and labourers – Medical camp has been organized every month this quarter. e. Safety Register; f. Environmental Complaint / Suggestion Register. 2. During this quarter, the Contractor had to carry-out mitigation measures in the following instances:
Page | 41 Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resources Management Investment Program (KISWRMIP)
Quarterly Progress Report January-March 2017
a. During the conduct of work, oil contaminated soil was encountered at three locations. The contaminated soil was removed completely and disposed of safely in an authorised location; b. A new set of labour force, when recruited, had started to utilise firewood from the local forests. The Contractor has instructed the labour force not to cut trees in the forest and provided them with alternative firewood for cooking; c. During work on service road at Kanchikatta Canal Subdivision, the construction truck fell off the road because of slippery ground condition due to which 3 arecanut trees were destroyed. The Contractor has paid compensation for the trees destroyed in spite of the fact that the trees were on encroached property. d. The Contractor has requested the Electricity Supply Company to shift the electric poles from the encroached portion of the Service Road in order to prevent any untoward incidents during construction. The ESCOM has not yet to carry out the work. 3. The Contractor is in the process of initiating composting of kitchen wastes at both the camp sites. In sum, PSC finds that the contractor makes efforts to pro-actively carry out the EMP requirements; further, the contractor is also amenable to suggestions. Social Management Framework And Gender Action Plan The 1st baseline assessment has shown that the participation of women is not up to the mark in the WUCS, either as members of the WUCS board or as members save for one or two WUCS. During the reporting period, PSC has put in special efforts to mobilize women as described below:
• PSC encouraged women to take active part in the meetings organised by WUCS from time to time, and in PSC organised meetings. To enable their mainstreaming, PSC organized separate women’s focus group discussions, informal interactions and awareness meetings. • PSC efforts have started showing results in the form of women’s increased participation. For example, three women members each have been selected as members in the subcommittees of two WUCS-Dasarakahalli and Seegebagi. Notably, the WUCS have also resolved to take into consideration the convenience of women while fixing date and time of sub-committee meetings. • It is observed that the level of not only participation and understanding, but also enthusiasm of women members in WUCS has substantially improved over the past few months. Notably, 30 women members attended the Seegebagi WUCS meeting on CAD package on 9 January 2017 and remained till the end of the meeting. In a recent meeting of WUCS facilitated by PSC to discuss implementation of CAD package works, women members expressed their keenness to execute one CAD work by themselves. The WUCS board responded positively and agreed to do the needful. • Further, more WUCS have now resolved to increase the formal membership of women in the WUCS board as well as sub committees to the level of 30%. As part of the Gender strategy, PSC started working broadly along these lines: (a) PSC members have identified active women displaying leadership qualities and started training them to carry out specify tasks and actions; (b) Worked towards gradually building up a network of women leaders and motivating them to participate in the implementation activities-including CAD community package works-ongoing or proposed; (c) PSC made special efforts towards information dissemination among the women members on various aspects of the project to enhance their levels of awareness and knowledge, and to make them more comfortable to participate in meetings, and (d) Carry out orientation meetings to specifically help them overcome inhibitions that limit their active participation in WUCS activities.

Quarterly Progress Report January-March 2017
One decision that all the WUCS have taken is to induct more women members in WUCS activities and decision making. The 2nd and 3rd baseline assessments have shown that the level of comprehension among the women members about the project, and the proposed CAD works has increased. This has also led to their increasing participation in various events gradually. For instance, the last WUCS meeting in Seegebagi held on proposed CAD package works on 9 January 2017 has seen at least 30 women members attending the meeting and getting prepared to participate in the implementation of CAD package work. Further, with a view to achieving the target of at least 30% women as Directors in WUCS, a few separate women’s groups are planned to be formed to include their perceptions and priorities in WUCS activities. As part of awareness, mapping of existing livelihood programs carried out under various governmental schemes such as the Department of Women and Child Development, MNREGA and Panchayat Raj Department was discussed in the previous quarter. The work is initiated during the reporting quarter under the leadership of Ms. Sujatha, one of the women directors of Seegebagi WUCS. Particular focus is also being made to mainstream the landless, tail end farmers and socially disadvantaged communities. 2.5.1 ORIENTATION PROGRAMME ON SOCIAL AND GENDER RELATIONS • As mentioned in the Table 15, PSC conducted an orientation programme on social and gender relations for women from Seegebagi on 31 March 2017. The programme held at Seegebagi aimed at assessing the awareness and knowledge levels of women in general about the project, functioning of WUCS, roles and responsibilities of men and women in irrigation and agricultural production, knowledge about CAD package works, and encouraging more women to get involved in WUCS activities and CAD packages.
• In all, 18 members (12 women and 6 men) participated in the interactive session. Out of the 12 women, 6 were landless. How to involve them into the mainstream activities was flagged as an issue. These women are engaged in farm labour.
• During the interaction, men opined that women do play a key role at home and in agricultural activities. They have not seen any gender differentiation in the villages. Women are involved in all types of agricultural activities along with men folk. In fact, they feel that women’s role is more important during activities such as harvesting and irrigation management.
• PSC has also decided to look into the female headed households involved in agriculture. They probably need to be supported by providing livelihood related skills enhancement training to supplement their meagre earnings.
• It was decided to meet again during April to prepare a strategy to address the concerns identified. SST of PSC will take the lead with the support of Ms. Sujatha, Director WUCS-Seegebagi.
Alongside, PSC has been focusing on improving participation of women in the modernization program, which is described below with examples of response:

Quarterly Progress Report January-March 2017
2.5.2 INCREASING WOMEN MEMBERS ON WUCS BOARD Table 13 shows the total members on each of the WUCS board as well as the number of women members in it. As can be seen in the Table 12, the total membership of women is short of the 30% mandated by bye-laws. PSC is making effort to increasing this number as described in this section. Training & Capacity Building During the reporting quarter, PSC continued to focus on carrying out formal and informal interactions with a view to spreading information and awareness about the modernization project, the role of WUCS and its strengthening as a grass root level institution, and role of WUCS in carrying out the execution of CAD packages. During the several visits to WUCS, PSC team members have also facilitated their meetings with KNNL and CADA engineers to address concerns and issues arising during preparation of WUCS packages, execution and monitoring. Joint visits were also made by KNNL, CADA and PSC members including senior officers to works in progress and completed. Guidance is being given from time to time to WUCS Directors on quality measures on CAD package works on canals. Formally, the following training programmes were conducted by PSC. Where necessary, external resource persons have also been invited. Table 16: Training programmes conducted during January-March 2017

In addition, many gram sabhas have been conducted on themes of increasing women’s participation, preparation and execution of CAD community packages, CAD Package acceptance meetings and women’s involvement in CAD package works. At least 5 events per WUCS were conducted in which 50-70 members attended per event.
2.6.1 INFORMATION, EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION Significant progress has taken place during the reporting quarter in this component. The following is a brief account: • Short duration videos: Two short duration videos prepared by PSC on Gondi Modernization and WUCS workshop have been uploaded onto the KNNL website with due permission of KNNL. • Preparation for Radio Programme Series: PSC finalised a 13-episode radio programme series in consultation with AIR Bhadravati. The episodes will cover all aspects of Gondi Modernization. Stakeholders represented by Chief Engineer KNNL, CADA Administrator and Chairman, WUCS representatives, farmers, women members and children shall be covered through interviews. It is also planned to capture views of senior officers from the PMU including the Project Director. PSC has done the scripting and design.

This will be useful to put together short duration videos on the project in due course. • Newsletter: A draft newsletter has been prepared. Will be finalised and uploaded on KNNL website after obtaining PMU permission during April 2017. The newsletter shall cover key information and progress elements of KISWRMIP. • Change documentation: PSC is in the process of capturing and show casing change through photographs. For this, before and after photographs are being captured.
Program Performance Management System PPMS: The Program Performance Management System (PPMS) under Gondi Irrigation Project is operational. However, some improvements are being made from time to time. PSC is working with the hosting agency (hired by KNNL) for hosting the application on the server maintained by the agency, testing and finalizing. The package has been demonstrated to KNNL and ACIWRM in the previous quarter using dummy data. Both KNNL and ACIWRM are yet to enter the data and start using the application for generating reports as necessary. In the meanwhile, PSC has started entering data obtained from KNNL. Based on the requirements emerging, necessary modifications are being done in the application. URL: http://kiswrmip1.vmdtechnologies.com/
PMIS Application has been developed, tested and hosted durng the previous quarter. Data entry into the thematic formats of WUCS, Agriculture and Socio economic data is in progress. More data is being collected and entered from time to time.

During the reporting period, the project website http://knnlindia.com/kaveri2/adb.html has been updated with many project related documents, events and photo-gallery. Some technical problems arising sometimes at the hosting end have been addressed. Tranche 2 Subprojects Feasibility Study
2.8.1 MODERNIZATION OF VIJAYANAGARA CHANNEL SYSTEM PROJECT Vijayanagara Channel (VNC) system is spread over 3 districts namely Bellary, Raichur and Koppal. The Geographical area lies between latitude 14° 30' to 16° 34' N and Longitude 75° 40' to 77° 35' E. As part of Tranche 2, the modernization of VNC and TBP is proposed. A Feasibility Study is being carried out for VNC which is described in the following section.
2.8.2 VIJAYANAGARA CHANNEL FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT The VNC Feasibility Study Report (VNC FSR) was first submitted to KNNL/ADB on October 19, 2016. Based on the suggestions and feedback of the November ADB Mission, the PSC has carried out field surveys along all the 16 canals of the VNC for social, environmental, and economic and financial components; based on the field analysis, the VNC FSR has been revised as described in this section. The FSR will be submitted by 30 April 2017. Based on the DPR and the assessment reports, namely, Initial Environmental Examination (IEE), Social Management Framework (SMF), Gender Action Plan (GAP), Resettlement Plan and Indigenous People’s Assessment, a VNC Feasibility Study Report was prepared. The VNC FSR consisted of four volumes: Volume 1: Executive Summary and Main Report Volume 2: Initial Environmental Examination Volume 3: Socio-Economic Assessment, and Volume 4: Financial & Economic Analyses. The ADB mission during November 17-22, 2016 had reviewed the VNC FSR submitted and has given feedback and guidelines, along with some templates to facilitate better analysis and reporting. The ADB Mission advised examining the following including remedial actions:
• Channel wise mapping of all the 16 Canals of the VNC for settlements, erosion, and issues related to canal width etc. as part of social and gender component; • Revise the social safeguard due diligence report as per guidelines provided in the aide memoire to support ADB approval to both IP and IR safeguard for Tranche 2 as “C” in accordance to ADB SPS 2009; • Rename the Socio-Economic Assessment report as Poverty and Social Assessment (PSA); • Financial and Economic analysis to be conducted for full project and all the subprojects, and that each subproject should meet the economic threshold. A reporting format has been advised. For each subproject, the affected WUCS be identified and surveyed specific for the head, middle and tail reaches, measure the crop types, intensities, areas and yields. Crop yield responses to watering should be estimated by comparing crop yields to the number of watering for each crop. For this purpose, it is advised that informal canal wise interactions with farmers are sufficient.

Quarterly Progress Report January-March 2017
• Since at least 12 Vijayanagar canals with their anicuts fall under protected areas, the Mission recommended an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as per guidelines annexed to the aide memoire. PSC has addressed all the above suggestions. The EFA has been done using economic and other data from the old approved DPR. However, the BoQs are being modified after verification by the DPR Consultant. As soon as the modified data is available, the EFA and the VNC FSR will be revised as needed and submitted.
• The comments and guidance given in the aide memoire of November ADB Mission has been followed while revising the VNC FSR chapters. The progress on various chapters is as follows: (a) Poverty and Social Analysis has been completed in consultation with the ADB expert. The Social Safe guards and due diligence study and the Resettlement Framework are part of the PSA. Bar charts are used to depict the type of the problem and mitigation measures proposed all along the 16 canals. Photographs captured of the problem are also inserted at the appropriate location. (b) Social and Environmental Safeguards: Field studies along all the 16 canals for social and environmental safeguards aspects are completed, strip maps of all canals prepared, and data analysis completed and report finalised in consultation with the ADB expert. (c) As part of the PSA, The Resettlement Framework has been updated in view of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013 (RFCTLARR Act 2013). (d) As part of the initial environmental examination, PSC conducted field visits, collected primary and secondary data which was analysed and findings discussed with the stakeholders. A total of 9 canals are located in the Otter Conservation Area and appropriate mitigation measures have to be incorporated while carrying out the construction work. Further, based on the Good Practices for the Collection of Biodiversity Baseline Data document prepared for the Multilateral Financing Institutions Biodiversity Working Group, PSC has prepared a format for collection of data for the Rapid Biodiversity assessment in VNC. The format is being shared with ADB for approval. An expert has to be identified and engaged for conducting the rapid assessment. (e) Draft Social Safeguard Due Diligence report has been prepared and shared with ADB consultant for his comments a couple of times, revised, and shared with KNNL. (f) Financial and Economic analysis: Informal meetings along all the 16 canals completed; data analysis is in progress. (g) Data related to crops and cropping pattern has been collected from the department. Other agriculture data such as impact of watering on yield is being collected to feed into EFA analysis. (h) Canal wise EFA is under progress; there is a delay due to the data required being collected from various sources, including primary surveys. VNC FSR expected to be completed by this month (January) end; this will also include results from MASSCOTE training undergone by KNNL/CADA engineers with ACIWRM. The Rapid Biodiversity Assessment shall be completed within the stipulated date, that is, by mid-April 2017.

2.8.3 VNC BID DOCUMENT After detailed discussions with the engineers a few times, the bid documents were modified and submitted to ICZ- KNNL, Munirabad on 30 December 2016. Following this, another meeting was conducted by the Chief Engineer-ICZ, Munirabad, on 5 January 2017 at KNNL, Bangalore, to discuss and finalise the bid document. Matters related to the project duration, number of packages, employer, and Schedule B, among others, were discussed. Feedback from PSC procurement specialist was considered, manual procurement incorporated as required by ADB norms, and time frame discussed. Another meeting was held in the office of the CE-ICZ on 17 January 2017. Following this, PMU reviewed the bid document in detail along with SMEC 3 or 4 times, revised the document which was discussed in a meeting with MD on 22 March 2017 who clarified some key terms and conditions. Further, on the request of the PMU, PSC prepared a comparative statement of Gondi bid document and the proposed VNC bid document. PMU plans to finalise certain points with MD after which the bid document terms and conditions would be ready. The next step would be to incorporate the financial details.

2.8.4 SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK AND GENDER ACTION PLAN FOR VNC During the reporting period, the social management framework (SMF) and gender action plan (GAP) for Tranche 2 sub project VNC was prepared. As part of this, stakeholder consultations and socio economic surveys have been carried out. Also, public consultations and Focus Group discussions were conducted in different localities by ethnicity, type of farmers and other locally specific characteristics. To facilitate meaningful participation of the communities, PSC team explained about the modernization work and the need for their active participation including community contribution for effective implementation of the project. Interactive sessions were conducted specifically with the Directors of WUCS and were explained their roles and responsibilities.
2.8.5 RAPID BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENT & EIA During this quarter, the PSC Environmental expert issued the Rapid Biodiversity Assessment Questionnaire and sent out a request for approval for hiring of the Biodiversity Expert to conduct the assessment. The Consultant is awaiting the approval for hiring of the services in order to conduct the Rapid Biodiversity Assessment and thereby complete the Environmental Impact Assessment Report. It may be noted that submission of the Environmental Impact Assessment may move beyond the originally scheduled date of April 15, 2017 because of the delay in the approval of the additional expert input to the Rapid Biodiversity Assessment.
2.8.6 TBP FEASIBILITY STUDY During the previous reporting quarter, a few meetings were held with PMU to discuss and demarcate the areas for TBP. The November ADB Mission has specified that: (a) the investment should be preferred in under-performing areas within the Right Bank system, and (b) the area should be contiguous. Due to non-availability of contiguous area in the TLBC, the ADB Mission during November advised to include TRBC also; hence the nomenclature hence forth will be Tungabhadra Project (TBP) in place of TLBC.
During the reporting period: (a) In addition to informal interactions, a formal meeting of all concerned engineers and SMEC was held with Design Consultants on 24 November 2016 at Bangalore which was followed up with another meeting of engineers of ICZ-Munirabad and SMEC in KNNL office at Bangalore on 6 January 2017 to discuss criteria and suitability of areas for TBP; (b) A final meeting to finalise the demarcated areas was held during 17-18 January 2017 at ICZ Munirabad. The comprehensive TLBC DPR already approved by CWC includes RBC areas also. It was decided during consultation with KNNL to consider these areas and prepare a TRBC DPR. The EE ICZ Munirabad will be coordinating this activity as decided by the MD during later March later part and share the DPR along with BoQ/Schedule B with PSC for preparation of the bid document.
In the meanwhile, a multi-disciplinary team from PSC has visited the TBP villages during February 15-22, 2017 for detailed assessment of the social, economic, institutional and technical parameters. The team visited 38 villages located in and around the canals falling under Bellary District. During the visit, it was observed that since the canals were constructed several decades ago, in 1960s, majority of the canal bunds are in poor condition and provide unreliable supply of water to the tail end areas, are filled with agro wastes, plastics and waste water (including sewerage), especially the areas near to the cities. The maintenance has also been deferred resulting in the poor condition of the canals.
The PSC Environmental expert completed field visits to all the Tungabhadra Project canal sections selected for rehabilitation under the Tranche 2 financing. The preparation of the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) report is under preparation.

4 PLANS FOR NEXT REPORTING PERIOD
The following are key activities that are planned to be implemented/continued during the next reporting period April-June 2017. Gondi Modernization: Gondi Modernization works will continue till the end of the current closure period that would end with the advent of monsoon which is likely in first week of June. The issue of embankment hopefully would be addressed early the next quarter so that some more physical progress can happen.
4.1.1 GONDI WUCS: • Proposal on Gondi WUCS Strengthening: Subject to approval of the revised proposal, several activities planned in the proposal will be initiated towards strengthening of WUCS during the April-June 2017 quarter. • Women Mainstreaming: More rigorous efforts shall be made towards mainstreaming of women as part of the proposal implementation by conducting specific awareness and orientation programmes, exposure visits, skill building etc. for women.

5 CHALLENGES, MITIGATION AND LEARNINGS
PSC has been facilitating towards smooth progress of KISWRMIP. In spite of its limitations, it has tried to identify critical issues from time to time and bring them to the notice of the concerned authority for addressing.
Gondi Modernization After some initial delays, Gondi Modernization works have more or less come on track. While the physical and financial progress on LBC is satisfactory, that of RBC is not so. The contractor quite some time ago has pointed out that the silt and embankment problem on the RBC is hampering progress. The Chief Engineer has called for a meeting with the design consultant on 15 April 2017, who have prepared the DPR for Gondi in the year 2008.
5.1.1 CAD PACKAGE WORKS EXECUTION One of the challenges that has caused some delay in the launch of CAD packages relates to formal involvement of CADA in the entire process. Although as per project proposal, CADA is expected to play a key role in terms of preparation of the CAD packages and entering into a contract for execution with WUCS-in addition to monitoring implementation-there have been no formal instructions given to CADA. This resulted in some confusion in role clarity. PSC has put in a lot of effort into addressing this grey area through discussions with the Chief Engineer, KNNL, CADA Administrator, and finally MD-KNNL office. A recent effort was that the Chief Engineer held a meeting with the Administrator CADA and others on 6 April 2017; hopefully, this will help work hasten up.
This may be a lesson for formal inclusion of CADA in future similar efforts.
5.1.2 DATA AVAILABILITY Data for Gondi Asset Management and O&M Plan is yet to be completely obtained despite persistent efforts. PSC has started compiling and analysing the available data while continuing efforts to obtain rest of the data.
5.1.3 CAPACITY BUILDING COMPONENT The budget for allocated for training component currently available under provisional sum is very meagre. And hence, a separate proposal on Gondi WUCS Strengthening was submitted to ADB. Similarly, not much budget is provided for the agriculture component. Revised proposal has been submitted. Upon approval, the capacity building component along with agriculture component will be taken up in a significant way. To include the capacity building and agriculture components in any similar project is a lesson for future.
5.1.4 PROJECT LEVEL WUCS FEDERATION Similarly, a project level federation of all WUCS is critical for continuing to nurture the WUCS and maintain them. The federation also has several other roles such as in conflict resolution, equitable water distribution, women mainstreaming, linkages with the departments, and dovetailing of other programmes. All these have been included in the Gondi WUCS Strengthening proposal.

6 THIRD BASELINE ASSESSMENT REPORT ON GONDI WUCS ADMINISTRATION INTRODUCTION An important component of KISWRMIP is forming/strengthening of the Water Users Cooperative Societies (WUCS) under the Gondi Modernization programme. Under the KISWRMIP, it is aimed at strengthening/forming WUCS to promote Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) for increasing water use efficiency through involvement of all stakeholders in various management activities. To assess the status of the ten (10) WUCS in the Gondi Irrigation System, a baseline assessment was carried out during September/October 2016. Subsequently, based on the findings of the assessment, an Action Plan was developed to enhance the institutional performance as well as knowledge and skills base of the WUCS office- bearers and members. To assess the changes in performance of WUCS, second and third baseline assessments were conducted during December 2016 and March 2017 against the same indicators, action plans developed to address the shortfalls observed and implemented. This report presents in brief the changes. It is observed that there is a significant improvement in the performance of WUCS as presented in this QPR.
6.1.1 METHODOLOGY AND DATA COLLECTION The methodology used has been the same as employed for the first assessment. The format used for the first baseline comprising 29 indicators was adopted. The PSC has visited each of the 10 WUCS, conducted meetings which included both the WUCS directors as well as a cross section of members including women. During the visits, PSC team verified the adoption of the parameter/activity/indicator from the records, registers, discussions and visual observation as appropriate, and made a note of the same. Along with verification of the indicators, qualitative discussions were also held to understand the process of change, and the enthusiasm of the directors and other members. Table – 1 provides the data collected during the first, second and third rounds of assessment.

MFF 0085 :L 3172-IND: KARNATAKA INTEGRATED AND SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT PROGRAM (KISWRMIP) – PROJECT 1 – OUTPUT-1
QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT January – March 2017
A. Introduction and Basic Data
The Government of India (GOI), Government of Karnataka (GOK) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) have agreed to implement the Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resources Management Investment Program (KISWRMIP).
The concept underlying the KISWRMIP is shown in the following diagram. While the major program investment is in modernization of irrigation infrastructure, the greatest return to cost will be by establishing an effective ACIWRM. This will result in strong and sustainable water resources management including, aware and involved communities; allocation and sharing of water between users and uses; water moving to high value uses over time; droughts, floods and climate change that are managed proactively; Nigams that move from basically construction agencies to water service providers focused on operations and maintenance and with a service orientation; and conservation of the water environment.

C. Project Purpose
The impact of KISWRMIP is improved availability of water resources in selected river (sub) basins in Karnataka. The KISWRMIP will introduce an IWRM approach to effective irrigation service delivery to enhance efficiency, productivity, and sustainability in water use by implementing key policy principles, furthering reforms for improved sector governance, and by incorporating the best practices from elsewhere in the world.
The intended outcome of KISWRMIP is for IWRM to be successfully implemented in selected river basins in Karnataka with
(i) from 2018, systems established for quantitative water use by sectors and
(ii) by 2021, State water resources management strategies institutionalized.
The indicators for this output are, by 2021:
at least 3 river (sub) basin plans are developed and implemented, about 600 WRD staff (of which about 200 are women staff) are certified in IWRM, and State Water Resources Information System (K-WRIS) established.
The output-1 is implemented by the ACIWRM which will be the implementing agency. Specialist support in IWRM is provided by international and national consulting services which are recruited as individual consultants to provide specific expertise in topics like river basin planning, basin modeling, communications etc.
The main activities to be undertaken (target dates are as identified in the loan documents) will include:
i. Establishment of offices and appointment of staff for AC-IWRM (Nov 2014);
ii. Institutional/capacity assessment (WRD/KNNL/AC-IWRM) (Nov 2014);
iii. IWRM certification program in implementation (Sep 2015);
iv. River basin resources inventories prepared (May 2017);
v. State IWRM strategy endorsed by IWRM steering committee (May 2019);
vi. Water Resources Information System (WRIS) established and under use for river basin planning (September 2020);
vii. Pilot projects completed for land and water management, remote sensing of water consumption, water use efficiency and water productivity (March 2021); and
14
viii. River basin plans prepared and under implementation in 3 sub-basins (August 2021).
Karnataka River Basins There are seven river basins (Figure 2) with which their tributaries drain the state. The average annual yield of the rivers of the Karnataka has been roughly estimated as 98,406 MCM (3,475 TMC) which is about 6 per cent of the India's surface water resources. About 40 percent of the state’s water is in the east flowing rivers and the remainder flows to the west.
The Krishna basin accounts for 28% of the State’s total annual yield. The master river basin plans indicate that total economically utilizable water potential for irrigation likely under major, medium and minor irrigation projects using surface water is 48,000 MCM (1,690 TMC).
Figure 2: River Basins of Karnataka

The State is one of the most water-stressed in India, with about 61% of the State, the 5th highest percentage, in drought prone areas or desert development programs in 2003. Irrigation water use is important as Karnataka has limited water resources (1,608 m3/person/year overall and approximately 1,072 m3/person/year in eastward flowing rivers).
Karnataka has its State Water Policy (2002) and it has a draft State Water Policy 2015. ACIWRM revised the water policy in 2016 with IWRM in focus and is under circulation to all the departments for their comments/inputs. The GOK agreed a range of initiatives including its "Vision 2020," which shifts focus from yield per acre to yield per unit of water consumed; declaring 2011 to 2020 the irrigation decade, and the revision of Karnataka State Water Policy. These policies and plans however fell short of establishing water governance arrangements and actually managing water resources. Institutionally, water resources management in Karnataka is extremely fragmented with more than 12 separate departments/Ministries having responsibilities for policy and management of aspects of water resources and more than 23 organizations involved when service delivery organizations are considered.
Irrigated agriculture is the largest water user and accounted for about 84% of water diversions in 2000 and with estimated water demands increasing by 40% from 2000 to 2020. The demand for water by non agriculture sectors is increasing rapidly and industrial demand is expected to almost triple from 2000 to 2025. However, agriculture will remain by far the largest water user and the major source of employment for about 55% of the total population and about 75% of the rural population.
Groundwater sources that include open wells and bore wells is the major source of water irrigating 45% of the net irrigated area in 2004; other sources being from tanks and river abstractions.
Groundwater is showing a decreasing trend due to very large increases in the numbers of wells and of groundwater abstractions. Groundwater use increased by 150% from 1992 to 2004 and by 2009 there were over 730,000 tube wells as well as 244,500 dug wells which had decreased in number by 40%. The storage of groundwater has reduced by 10% from 1992 to 2004 as a result of over extractions.
The number of Taluks with groundwater categorised as either “semi-critical”, “critical” or “over exploited” have increased as shown in the following table with more than 35% of the 174 taluks having such status by 2013.
Taluks with impaired groundwater conditions

Consistent data on irrigated areas and the sources of water is difficult to find. Of a total irrigated area of about 3.6 million ha; groundwater is the source for 1.43 million ha; canals for 1.33 million ha and tanks 0.6 million ha although some areas receive water from multiple sources.
The Tungabhadra sub-basin (TB), the main pilot area for this project, lies within the Krishna river basin and largely within Karnataka.
Figure 3: Project location
The Tungabhadra River Basin The Tungabhadra River is an eastern-flowing river and is the chief tributary of the Krishna River. It is formed by the confluence of two rivers, the Tunga and the Bhadra, at Koodli in
17
Shimoga and flows east across the Deccan Plateau for a distance of 530 km, joining the Krishna River in Andhra Pradesh.
The Tungabhadra river is an inter-state river system flowing through the states of Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Major tributaries are the Bhadra, the Haridra, the Vedavati, the Tunga, the Varda and the Kumdavathi. The catchment area up to Karnataka and Telangana Border is 57,548 sq Km excluding the portion of Vedavati river flowing through AP (7148 sqkm).
Drainage area of Tungabhadra river in the Western Ghats receives about 4500 mm of rainfall, while in the Rayalaseema area in the Peninsula receives less than 500 mm of rainfall. It is influenced chiefly by the South-West monsoon with September being the highest rainfall month.. The average annual mean temperature is 29.4°C.
The basin falls into six major agro-climatic zones.The important soil types found in the basin are black soils (regur), red soils, laterite and lateritic soils, alluvium, mixed soils (red and black, red and yellow, etc.) and saline and alkaline soils.
Climate and Land Use
The climate in upper reaches is mostly humid with hilly western ghats having average elevation 1200 msl and annual rainfall 2300 mm. The middle reach is upper catchment of Tungabhadra dam, dry region with average annual rainfall is 800 mm and characterized by undulating land. The lower reaches is mostly dominated by irrigated land with flat terrain having average rainfall of 600 mm. The 70% of annual rainfall occurs in the months of July to October. The basin is falls in the arid to semi arid region having 65% area of the TBSB.
As per the assessment of Land Use Land Cover, major part of the basin (60.09%) is covered by agriculture . Approximately 15.94% of the basin area is covered by forest (mostly in upper reaches), and around 3.89% of the basin area is covered by water bodies. Net sown area in the basin is around 38,800 sq km of which 11,626 sq km is irrigated by all source.The major crops grown are paddy, jowar, sugarcane, cotton and Ragi (finger millet).
The designed cropping pattern in the basin has been specified for semi arid crops. But in reality paddy and sugarcane crop dominates as the irrigation crop across the basin. This has resulted in more water logging and salinity in the downstream. Soil erosion, siltation and sedimentation is more in the middle reaches specially on Hirehalla tributary of Tungabhadra dam.
Administrative and Demography
In the Tungabhadra sub-basin, districts with area more than 40% of the district are Bellary, Chitradurga, Davangere, Haveri, Koppal, Chikmaglur, Shimoga, Raichur, Gadag. These nine district cover about 68 taluks, 1697 villages, 2 Municipal Corporation, 14 City Municipal Councils, and 5 district headquarter. As per 2011 census, the total population in the sub basin is about 14.2 million. The population density ranges from 273 to 223 persons per sq km. Most populated area in the basin is Davanagere and Bellary with more than 5,580 persons per sq km. Growth rate of urban population is 31%, which is 4 times higher than rural population growth. Main issue is more water demand from urban user leading to conflict.

Figure 4: Tungabhadra map
Surface Water
There are total 12 gauging stations maintained by CWC and 9 by WRD on the eight tributary and mainstream of the Tungabhadra river. There are 325 rain guage stations maintained by WRD of which 52 are automatic type. The annual river flow varies from 297 TMC to 605 TMC., the average being 405 TMC.
There are 7 Major project and 16 Medium Projects. The important projects in the basin are Tunga, Bhadra, Tungabhadra,Vanivilas Sagar and Vijayanagar Major Irrigation Projects, while Upper Tunga,Singatlur are two major projects under construction. Since TBSB is interstate, the water allocation is decided as per the KWDT award. The total water allocation of Tungabhadra Reservoir across the sectors and concerned states (Karnataka and AP) is 230.31 TMC out of which, the agriculture sector gets the major share of 94.3 % (217.18), only 1.96 % (4.49) for drinking water and 3.72 % (6.1) for industrial usage.The total water allocation from reservoirs of the TBSB for domestic and drinking is 5.148 TMC and 14.737 TMC for industrial purpose.
All reservoirs were owned and managed by the Irrigation Department except Tungabhadra Reservoir, which is managed by the Tungabhadra Board.
Minor Tanks are the most predominant with the total number of 1420 in the basin.
There is one inter-basin transfer link proposed viz, Bedti - Varada Link which envisages the diversion of 8.54 TMC to TBSB and one intra-basin transfer link proposed; the Bhadra-Vedavati
19
Link for filling 367 tanks in Vedavati including 2 TMC water to be fed to Vanivillas Sagar by lifting 30 TMC water from Bhadra dam.
Irrigation
Irrigation is major input to crop production, in TBSB, area irrigated by all source is 11626 sq km of which 4240 sq km is by canal, 820 sq km by tanks, 123 sq km by wells, 5203 sq km by Tube wells, 621 sq km by Lift and 620 sq km by others. The total achieved potential of irrigation by canal is only 11 % of the net sown area in the basin. The percentage of net irrigated area by GW is 45% vis-a-vis 36% by canal for the year 2014-15. However, it is difficult to separate GW and Canal water use in the command area. Canal irrigation in command area is less efficient compared to individual field being irrigated by GW.
There are many issue in command areas such as lack of regulation system to decide release of water in canal network, farmers at tail end either do not get water or insufficient to meet Crop Water Demand due to poor maintenance of canal or excessive use of water at head reaches.
Ground Water
The CGWB is monitoring the ground water levels four times a year (Jan/May/Aug/Nov) through a network of 479 ground water observation wells in the sub basin.The net availability of GW is 189 TMC in TB sub basin and the volume of ground water extracted was 114 TMC in March 2014. Irrigation is the key sector contributing to extraction e.g. extraction for irrigation purpose is 107 TMC which is 93 % of total GW extracted). The extraction of GW is more in command areas as compared to non-command areas.
The net irrigated area by wells/Tube is around 45 % as compared to 36% by canal. The exploitation is more in district of Davengere, Gadag, Tumkur, Hassan, Chitradurga, and Haveri, this may be due to the non availability of irrigation command areas.
The GW is more exploited in the TBSB (60% of Net availability) and due to that GW table is going deeper as extraction is more than recharge.
Water Quality
There are 4 water quality location in TBSB by WRD and 16 locations by KSPCB andall are monitored on a monthly basis. The surface water quality is deteriorating at Bhadravati, Shimoga, Harihar, Hole Honnur towns due to release of effluents and chemicals for paper mills, chemical and other industrial establishments.
The major pollutants in TBSB are mainly organic and bacterial contamination, especially BOD and COD, which threaten the life along the river.
Increase in EC of groundwater in the basin has reported especially in the arid region of Koppal, Bellary and Raichur district. Problems of salinity and water logging has increased due poor GW quality and shallow water tables
20
Groundwater in lower parts of basin specially in the districts of Bellary, Koppal and Raichur has gone beyond the permissible level for irrigation and also become non potable in certain parts of districts.
River Health and Ecology
The Earth Summit in Rio de Janerio in 1992 promoted the conservation of ecosystem as a public good, independent of their utility as a resource. A logical extension to this is to grant rights to species and ecosystems, alongside the rights demanded by mankind. International Organisation, such as The World Conservation Union (IUCN) are now promoting environmental flow as a key element of IWRM.
The Tungahadra river is a haven for various aquatic flora and fauna. Hundreds of species of wild fish and other aquatic wildlife found here. The globally endangered endemic major fauna including Smooth-coated Otter, Giant Soft-shelled Turtles (Chitra indica, Nilsonian lethii), Fresh water Crocodile and rare species of fishes are found here.
The sand banks and islands are the breeding grounds for the crocodiles and turtles. Otters too make their nest under the bushes in the banks for giving birth to the young ones.
By the efforts of Society for Wildlife and Nature and forest officials, the 34 kms stretch of river from Hole Mudlapura near T.B.Dam reservoir to the bridge of Kampli is declared as the “Tungabhadra Otter Conservation Reserve” on 25.4.2015 by the Government of Karnataka to protect the rare wildlife species from hunting and destruction of habitat.
Sedimentation
There are two locations at which sedimentation is measured in TBSB, one at Balehonnur and other at Tungabhadra dam. Sedimentation is a major issue in the TBSB as it is observed that gross storage of TB reservoir has been reduced from 132.47 TMC to 100.85 TMC; a 23.8 % loss as compared to design storage in the year 1953. TB Board has recommended soil conservation methods in the catchment of TB reservoir and construction of dams across Hirehalla tributary of river.
Capacity loss of Bhadra dam is reported to be 3% from its original 71.53 TMC in the year 1964.
Drought and Flooding
According to the Revenue Department, downstream of TBSB specially the district of Koppal, Bellary and Raichur are facing the worst drought for more than 10 years out of 16 years. Estimated loss due to drought in 2016 is Rs. 17193 Crore or a 20% loss compared to 85375 Crore in the plan budget. Almost 129 taluks have experienced drought for more than 8 years between 2001-2016.
Drought is more common in TBSB compared to flood because TBSB is falling under semiarid to arid region and it is more drought prone.
21
Various drought proofing works like construction of bunds, farm ponds, multi arch check dams, bore well recharge structures, river and tank rejuvenation works,and open wells have undertaken under MGNREGA by Rural Development and Panchayath Raj Department.
Urban Water Supply
Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Drainage Board is responsible for providing water supply and sewerage facilities to all 49 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the basin. River Tunga, Bhadra and Tungabhadra are the main sources of drinking water supply.
The total volume of water supplied is 344.5 MLD (4.49 TMC), out of which 331.4 MLD (4.32 TMC) constitutes surface water and 13.09 MLD is groundwater. However, 5.148 TMC water is allocated for drinking and domestic needs for urban and rural areas from various reservoir and from Tungabhadra rivers by WRD.
During scarcity, drinking water is the priority water use and water is supplied also through other alternative sources -groundwater and irrigation tanks to meet the demand.
Fishing
Fishing is one of the major activities supporting livelihoods in the Tungabhadra basin. Reservoirs are one of the major sources of fishing supporting 40 % of fishing community in the TBSB. Reservoirs cover a large area with total water spread area of 57217 ha, out of which 98 per cent is covered by major reservoirs in the TBSB. The fisheries sector contributes 0.7% of the gross GDP and 3.18% of the net GDP to the state’s economy.
Hydro Power
There are two power houses in the sub basin namely The Tungabhadra Hydro Electric Scheme (TBHES) comprises of two powerhouses at the TB reservoir with total installed capacity of 36 MW each and New Mini Hydel Power Station initiated in 2004 with 12.25 MW capacity and installed at 2015. Power generated is shared between Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka in the ratio of 80:20.
Industry
There are 27 large-scale industries in the basin, 2,543 small-scale industries and the two major industries viz., Mysore Paper Mills (MPM) and Vishweshvaraiah Iron and Steel Industries (VSIL) located at Bhadravathi. Harihara Polyfibres, GRASIM, two sugar industries and two distilleries are the major industries located along the Tungabhadra river.
The sources of supply for the industries are both surface and ground water with the majority of the water supply from ground water sources. Total allocation to industry made by WRD is 14.74 TMC from various reservoir to the industries spread in the basin.
22
Tourism and Culture
Sringeri, a religious temple established by the Adi Shankaracharya on the bank of Tunga attracts more than 10,000 pilgrims daily normally and 15,000 to 25,000 on special occasions. Visitors are offered free lunches everyday and consume 70,000 to 1 lakh litres daily. Another temple at Horanadu, consumes around 25,000 – 30,000 KL/d. Similarly, there are other prominent places like Hampi and other religious centres.
National Park and Sanctuary
The forests of Karnataka support a wide range of flora and fauna (bio-diversity) through a network of well-connected and protected Wildlife Sanctuaries and National Parks. There are 5 Wildlife Sanctuary viz, Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary, Bhadra Tiger Reserve , Shettyhalli Wildlife sanctuary , Daroji Bear Sanctuary , Ranebennur Black Buck Sanctuary and one National Park viz., Kudremukh National Park. The annual number of visitors in those park is 45000 including foreign tourist. The availability of water allocation and use is not much estimated.
The Advanced Centre for IWRM
In recognition of the enormous challenges and deteriorating water resource and human conditions, the GOK determined that a new approach to water resources management is needed and that this should build upon international best practice.
In recognition of the need to better manage these challenges, as well as to introduce and adapt international best management practices, the Government of Karnataka (GOK) established the ACIWRM in 2012 under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act. Its purpose is to engage in policy analysis and research, develop an updated water sector knowledge base, and, assist the Water Resources Department (WRD) in introducing IWRM into Karnataka.
To this end, the GOK requested financing from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to enhance water security in selected basins where there is increasing water stress due to rapid economic growth and future competing needs for water supply and to support the establishment and operations of the ACIWRM.
The Advanced Centre for Integrated Water Resources Management (AC-IWRM) will act as a think tank to the Department of Water Resources, Government of Karnataka. The Advanced Centre will engage in policy analysis, policy research, develop knowledge base within the State and WRD for gearing up the department up to its future vision 2030. The activities of various agencies will be integrated at the output level by the Centre and the results fed into the policy and working of the WRD. It will also serve as a platform / agency thru WRDO for coordination among main departments and other related government agencies, NGOs, private sector firms, water user associations and other organizations dealing with the water sector and leading up to implementation of the IWRM principles.
23
The activities to be undertaken are detailed in the IWRM road map and the design and monitoring framework (DMF) of the Facility Administrative Manual (FAM) of GoI-GoK-ADB loan agreement. In summary, these are to include:

1. RIVER BASIN PLANNING
The first task in preparing the river basin plan is to compile a comprehensive ‘River Basin Profile’. River Basin Management Expert is in final stage of drafting the Tungabhadra Sub Basin Profile (TBSB).
River Basin Profile Preparation
A review meeting was held on 01-February and 2- February, 2017 with Chief Technical Advisor and Director, ACIWRM about progress on TBSB profile preparation. There were few suggestion on improving the water quality aspect and ground water and same has been updated. There was a plan for stakeholder consultation on River Basin Profile of TBSB on 13 March 2017, however due to budget session of the government, it was postponed to April 2017.
Consultations were held with the following agencies;
One day meeting (along with CTA) was conducted on 28 February 2017 with Dr. B. Nagappa of State Pollution Control Board of Karnataka for collection of water quality data. Visited KERS for one day - Collected Sedimentation and Water Quality Data on hard copy and digitization is in process. Visited KSNDMC 2times – Collected data on Normal PET, Rainfall and Drought and Flooding for last 10 years Visited Revenue Department- Collected data on Memorandum of Drought and Flood in soft copy
Draft report on TBSB profile is in final stage and by the end of March 2017, it will be ready for publication. Purpose of RB profile is to identify the key issue and impact on water. RB planning is further to assess the water availability and demand through modelling the current situation and practices. Second stage of assessment is to develop the scenario for inter and intra basin transfer, new project, climate change impact, improving the water efficiency and demand in future for urban, soil conservation measure to reduce sedimentation.
On the basis of assessment, evaluation of option would be generated for further improving thematic plan and will be discussed for agreeing plan of action and rule and mechanism to implement plan in the basin.
Executive summary of TBSB profile was prepared for circulating to stakeholders which is attached as annexure.

4. CAPACITY BUILDING
IWRM training
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) training is the flagship programme of ACIWRM to build the capacities of Engineers of Water Resources Department (WRD) to be efficient managers of the finite annual renewable natural resource despite increasing demand for water across sectors. An annual workplan prepared for 2017 was discussed internally in ACIWRM and it was decided that IWRM training be held four times during 2017 on a quarterly basis covering 120 Assistant/ Junior Engineers by updating the modules of first IWRM training held during November 28 to December 10, 2016, facilitated by VLEAD. i) Preparation for 2nd IWRM training course: Discussions were held with other training providers such as Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi; and Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru. IISc has expressed interest and the discussions will be held during early April and one training during end of April/ early May 2017 will be organized. VLEAD has also been advised to identify some more faculty members. ii) Course Curriculum improvement: Although the course curriculum for the 1st IWRM training is finalized and shared with all the participants, based on the feedback of the trainee engineers, case studies are to be developed for each of the module, if possible, based on a fictitious sub-basin or even taking into consideration the work carried out in Tungabhadra sub-basin. For this ACIWRM identified about 10 resource persons to develop a few case studies to be included in the training modules and it has been decided to take the examples from Tungabhadra sub-basin only. During the period, April-June 2017, the resource persons will be contacted to avail their services. iii) Communication with UNESCO, IHE: UNESCO-IHE, The Netherlands has been contacted to provide feedback on the modules of first IWRM training organized during Nov-Dec, 2016. They have also been invited to provide the suitable training methodology for effective communication of the topics. UNESCO-IHE has been requested to organize a two-day Training of Trainers workshop for IWRM training faculty identified jointly by ACIWRM, VLEAD and IISc. They have also been invited to be present during one of the IWRM training courses.

Other special trainings
ACIWRM organized two trainings on Remote Sensing & GIS conducted by Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Center (KSRSAC), Bengaluru during Jan 17-21, 2017 and Water Accounting+ facilitated by UNESCO-IHE, The Netherlands during Jan 24-25 and 27-28, 2017. i) Remote Sensing (RS) & Geographic Information System (GIS): 16 Assistant Engineers from different nigams and WRDO attended the training. The course was organized in wake of training the Engineers on basics of remote sensing and GIS in order to make them understand the subsequent trainings on Water Accounting+ and also to identify suitable engineers for training on river basin modelling using source model in Australia at a later date. The topics covered in the training include; Basics of Remote Sensing and GIS, concepts of RDBMS and Data Management System, Geospatial data base required for water resources management, Mapping of Irrigation Command areas, water management indices for improvement of command areas, Applications of RS & GIS for command area development, Photogrammetry/ Lidar and terrain application, Drainage morphometry, Geospatial applications for monitoring reservoirs and Irrigated agriculture, Geospatial Technology applications for IWRM, Geospatial inputs for watershed management, Web/mobile based applications for agriculture/ horticulture/ water resources and familiarization of RS & GIS software. Hands-on-training was also provided on: High resolution RS data analysis, Irrigation crop identification and area estimation, and Reservoir monitoring and irrigated agriculture. The participants expressed that the training was useful and requested for more time allocation for hands-on-training. ii) Water Accounting+: The Water Accounting Plus (WA+) framework is developed by UNESCO-IHE, the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). It is a multi-institutional effort that aims to provide a valuable and reliable source of information regarding presence and utilization of water resources. The WA+ framework communicates information on water storage, flows and fluxes for a variety of land use systems using a number of intuitive resource sheets that are designed to be understood by people with technical and non-technical backgrounds alike. The WA+ framework focuses on the use of public access remote sensing data in an effort to maintain a high level of transparency. Datasets of precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, net primary production, land use, water surface areas and water level datasets can be downloaded or determined from the raw satellite data. The water accounting reporting is based on sheets, tables and maps. Maps created from remote sensing, GIS and hydrological models form the basis of distributed computations on flows, fluxes and storage changes. This data is then compiled by Land Use - Land Cover (LULC) class. Class average values will
51
form the skeleton for presenting the results in tables. The results will also be presented by means of tributaries and rivers; the monthly discharge at any point in the basin with a spatial resolution of 250 m will be computed. This practically means, that every 250 m of a river bed, the actual flow in that river will be estimated. The flow is changing continuously due to runoff, baseflow, withdrawals and return flows, apart from storage changes. Tabular data will be summarized by means of sheets, to ease the interpretation and overview of the key processes. In total, 33 Engineers from WRDO, different nigams, ACIWRM, VTU, Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Center (KSNDMC) participated in the training.

The four types of training that would be in a systematic training plan are as follows: IWRM training for new joiners of WRD Reorientation training on IWRM for Engineers working in the field Project and task force training Academic/Advanced Training on themes like hydrological modelling, climate change modelling, river basin planning, etc.
55
Training in the future will be carried out within a broader framework that includes developing the management capacity within WRD, Nigams and projects. There is growing recognition that irrigation technology must also take into account environmental considerations and sociological characteristics such as farmer's behavior.
Academic training should be reserved for employees who demonstrate high quality and self- motivation in the performance of their duties, that is, those who concisely strain or exceed their established work targets. There is a need for advanced training topics like hydrological modelling; climate change modelling and adaptation strategies; river basin planning, etc. The screening criteria for identifying such participants is required for advanced and academic training to be imparted. There is also a need identify the possible institutions offering such high-level training within India and abroad.
The methodology involves reviewing all available relevant documents such as KPWD manual, Irrigation act, Training Need Analysis (TNA) report prepared for IHE, The Netherlands, TNA prepared for all the Nigams (KNNL), Current Policy and Institutional reforms (if any) and any other related document regarding water resources management; Interviewing selected persons involved in water resources management from Junior Engineers to Managing Directors of Nigams; Analyzing all items of data collected, etc.
It is proposed that a consultant will be engaged under the supervision of the Director, ACIWRM to support the national specialist staff, local consultants, partners and the international CTA by advising and providing support on:
the strategic directions to build State capacity in water resources management and approaches reflective of international best practice in water resource management Carry out a training need survey to collect data on the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for successful job performance. Provide an outline for the intensive capacity building program to prepare WRD staff to function effectively as the Department’s role and responsibilities change in the future. Give more attention to academic, technical and hands-on training. Capacity building of ACIWRM staff, national consultants and other participants (for example from universities and the private sector) in order to build the capacity in the State

6. WATER RESOURCES INFORMATION SYSTEM
The work of developing the IWRM based Water Resources Information System is entrusted to M/s Microware Computing & Consulting Pvt. Ltd., Gurgaon after following the ADB procurement guidelines of goods and services. The Software Supplier has worked in multiple projects of World Bank, ADB, WHO, UNDP, AusAID & others and has delivered multiple products in the Water Sector and has supported GW software in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Gujarat & Odisha. Also, the software supplier was part of Hydrology Project – 1 & 2 and has worked with CWC.
The WRIS will be used to support activities namely River Basin Profile, River Basin Modeling, Hydrological studies, Water Accounting, Water Use efficiency & productivity, River Basin Planning etc. In particular, it will lead to a spatially based Inventory of River Basins in Karnataka; River basin and sub-basin plans; monitoring and reporting of water resource condition etc.
In this regard, a consultation meeting is held at WRDO - Water Resources Department Organization, Groundwater Department, KSRSAC - Karnataka State Remote Sensing Application Centre along with ACIWRM officials & Software Supplier on 22-03-2017 has been discussed on the following:
1. Understanding of existing water related software SWDES – Surface Water Data Entry System, GWDES - Groundwater Data Entry System, WQDES- Water Quality Data Entry System, KGIS – Karnataka Geographic Information System, Web based Hydrological monitoring system, Karnataka Hydrological project portal, real time hydro meteorological data portal etc.
2. Basic data analysis and reporting system
3. Water usage information to be included in WRIS
Meeting#01: ACIWRM office – ACIWRM officials and Microware
1. Discussions on deliverables and timelines 2. Demonstration setup for HRIS software with Dr Prakash and Ms Indu Dhawan; demonstration 3. Discussions on meetings to be held in the day
60
Meeting#02: WRD office – WRD officials, ACIWRM officials, Canarys & Microware
The SE, WRD who also holds the charge of he Registrar, ACIWRM, other ACIWRM and Microware provided the background to the assignment. Microware was represented by Mr Sangal, who is the original developer of the SWDES software of the World Bank. The following were discussed:
1. Data Availability / Sources (existing and potential) a. SWDES stores a substantial (70-80%) of data available with the Department b. Canarys has put up rain gauges which transmit data (hourly etc>0 through telemetry (manual SMS also used at some locations) – formats will be shared, and are preferred in binary format, alternatively clear text (ASCII) or XLS, or any other standardised format (note that excel is avoidable on account of date conversion confusion) c. Additional information on gauging (ADCP – Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) with flows and X-section d. About 1069 additional SRG/ARG e. IMD gridded data, FCS data from WRD f. WINRIVER software g. Reservoir data (15 approx – large and medium), DVA curve is available h. Barthymetric survey data i. GIS layers j. DEM data k. NDMA has 6000 odd rain gauges which may also supply data – captured for Crop Insurance / drought l. 2 Level II Labs have WQ data on limited paramters m. Data may also be sought from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (to be followed up) – may be processed reports stored in the document repository n. Tanks / Ponds / Lakes / STP / WUA data planned for the next phase (detail), though some static data may be incorporated o. Agricultural data may be part of the next phase (this also refers to Crop Water Balance computation based on cropping pattern) p. CWC data may be incorporated – to be discussed - eSWIS data, when prepared, may also be considered (this would be CWC data) q. KPCL for Hydro electric plant data to be followed up r. Seismological data – should be available real time – to be followed up s. Industry data for polluting industries – chemical/leather/tanning not planned for now; potentially heavy draft companies like soft drink bottling plants not covered in this phase t. Soil data not covered for now (other than GIS layers) u. External projects i. Watershed development project (social department) ii. DHARMA – Drip projects iii. GW implementation project, watershed projects iv. District Irrigation Plan v. Other projects to be identified who would share relevant data v. Specific pollutant data to be identified (also water borne diseases), health data
61
w. Any information on RO plants to be identified 2. Knowledgebase, discussion forums etc. were discussed in brief, as were KPIs for the MIS (Deliverable #2 and 3 of the contract) 3. Server would be provided by Microware during development, and would move to state centre (in all likelihood) post security audit, to be organised by ACIWRM / WRD. This would be useful as the GIS portal is also located at this centre, and scalability can be assured, as can maintenance and backups. 4. Data exchange mechanisms would differ for different sources – it is expected that about 10 sources would be integrated in Phase I 5. HYMOS is no longer in use – no data is expected from HYMOS 6. Data exchange with Canarys can be on SFTP or SOA (webservice). The same shall be finalised when the formats are made available 7. Data validation flags will be maintained
The ACIWRM and MW teams went to the Data Centre, interacted with the users, made certain recommendations, and have requested some current data formats for assimilation into the warehouse.
In conclusion, the meeting was focused, and served entirely the purpose of bringing primary stakeholders onto the same page. In future, against the checklist established, follows up can be initiated so as to ensure quicker and more reliable delivery of data to the warehouse.
Meeting#03: GWD office – GWD officials, ACIWRM officials & Microware
The Director discussed the data availability, and was appraised of the scope of the contract. Data is available primarily in GWDES, which Microware is totally familiar with. No modelling data is currently available readily, however, when located, will be stored in the repository. An on-line system is being built through NIC – will be incorporated when possible
The GWDES software in some districts is not working on account of Windows version upgrade, though it works on others with the same version. Microware has agreed to support, FOC, the process of operationalising this. In addition, the Director requested an estimate for GRASP, Microware’s proprietary software which totally replaces GWDES, and is procured by five other Indian states. A demonstration of the same was also planned.
The WQ Lab has been shifted, and data was not readily available. However, it is known that WQDES was used for years in the lab, and the information needs to be retrieved so that it can be assimilated into the warehouse.
In conclusion, it was felt that though the GWD has gone through a disruptive upheaval on account of the change from Dept. of Mines & Geology to Minor Irrigation, the system is coming together and data flow will restart soon, in case GWDES goes back into operation across the state (or is replaced by GRASP, or the new on-line software from NIC). Contact needs to be maintained on a regular basis.
62
Meeting#04: KSRSAC – KSRSAC officials, ACIWRM officials & Microware
A long discussion, clarifying the efforts made by ACIWRM, as well as the requirements for the WRIS, was held with the CTO and other officials. The efforts made by the KSRSAC were demonstrated (including the digitization efforts – the scale, and the extent – down to the parcel level), and it was apparent that the way to go was to provide water related data on a sustainable basis (time series) linked to available GIS layers and point data (stations etc.).
Integration points include utilising services (SOA) from the portal, and for this purpose, it was felt that GeoServer, with a database that can store Spatial geometry (POSTGreSQL, SQL Server new versions etc.) be used, and the platform could be open source, or .NET (as that is what used currently by the KSRSAC in the demo software that was shown).
It was finalised that Microware would provide basic information on possible connect points, and the information would be validated by KSRSAC for finalisation of GIS integration into the application.
For reference, the coding system used currently was understood, and as far as possible the same shall be used for the GIS linkage. This comprise the state code, district, taluka, village or ward, followed by department, asset code, type and sequence number. Unique one to one correspondence will need to be built.
Conclusion: Follow up meetings will be required, preceded by a basic information exchange document laying out the various options.
Meeting#05: Debriefing - ACIWRM officials & Microware
A meeting was held with the Director (T) to appraise him of the proceedings, commitments made, and the way forward.
At present, Microware will develop the SRS, which will include all information gathered in this meeting, follow ups, and also the design of the system (at a basic level).

7. Water Accounting+
In the frame of the ongoing Water Accounting Plus activity in selected Asian river basins (supported by the Asian Development Bank), in May 2016 UNESCO-IHE has initiated the work in Karnataka focusing on the Tungabhadra basin. In this section, we give a summary of the major activities performed in 2016 and beginning of 2017. The report is divided in two parts: (1) meetings, workshops and training, (2) data collection and analysis. More information can be found in the Inception Report, submitted in November 2016.
Meetings, Workshops and Trainings May 2016: first exploratory meeting. Dr. Elga Salvadore visited ACIWRM in Bangalore, she gave a presentation to introduce the Water Accounting Plus (WA+) system to a selected technical group of ACIWRM. This short visit had three major outcomes: information sharing regarding WA+, agreement on the study area (Tungabhadra basin), and local data collection (land use maps, shape file of the basin, rainfall measurements and discharge measurements).
23rd January 2017, Workshop: Water Accounting + and Water Productivity using Remote Sensing Data. The Workshop was organized by ACIWRM and several UNESCO-IHE representatives (Prof. Wim Bastiaanssen, Dr. Xueliang Cai, and Dr. Elga Salvadore) presented the WA+ basic concepts to a larger audience, including details regarding the ongoing activity, and preliminary results. The workshop ended with an extended discussion with large participation.
24th-28th January: First training session on Water Accounting (Prof. Wim Bastiaanssen and Dr. Elga Salvadore). Nearly 30 participants. Major topics: fundamental concepts of WA+ and Water Management, introduction to the Accounting sheets and to (remote sensing) open access databases, beneficial and non-beneficial water consumption, and introduction to: GIS (QGIS), Remote Sensing and Python programming.
Data Collection and Analysis Land Use Land Cover Map: starting from the LULC of 2006 provided by ACIWRM we developed a LULC map according to the WA+ standard classification scheme (80 classes) by combining information from open access and in-house developed data: (a) mask of irrigated and rainfed areas in India, (2) protected areas in Karnataka, (c) statistics of crop production per district. We have developed an irrigated and rainfed mask for the entire India for three years (2000, 2004, and 2009) as an ensemble of open access land cover products (ESA CCI, GIAM IWMI, and GlobCover). The resulting map could be further improved by a finer spatial diversification of crop types. More than 60% of the Tugabhadra basin is characterized by Modified Land Use types (mainly rainfed agriculture), about 18 % is Utilized Land Use (natural land which is not protected), about 16% is Managed Water Use (irrigated agriculture, managed water bodies and mining), and 4% is Protected Land Use.
Precipitation: we collected monthly RS precipitation for the Tungabhadra basin for the period 2000-2015. We analysed and compared two remote sensing products: TRMM and CHIRPS. The annual average precipitation according to these products is around 1050 mm/yr. Based on these
64
RS data we identified the driest year (2003 with 700 mm/yr), the wettest year (2010 with 1400 mm/yr) and the average year (2006). The two remote sensing products show a good agreement regarding the absolute values and compare well with ground measurements. We compared the two RS products with data from 221 meteorological stations provided by ACIWRM. We used the Nash-Sutcliff (NS) statistical measure to assess the agreement between RS and ground measured rainfall. 10% of the stations have a NS higher than 0.75 (excellent agreement), and 65% of the stations have a NS higher than 0.5 (good agreement).
Remote Sensing data collection: We have developed monthly maps of Actual Evapotranspiration (250 m resolution) for the entire Karnataka for the period 2003-2012. We have collected RS- based vegetation index: LAI (2000-2015) from MOD15, NDVI (2001-2015) from MOD13. We have derived monthly 250 m resolution Net Primary Productivity (NPP) maps based on yearly NPP (MOD17), monthly Gross Primary Productivity (MOD17), and the spatial resolution of NDVI. We used these maps to estimate Green and Blue water consumption for the Tungabhadra basin. Finally, we have computed spatially distributed maps of reference ET based on the FAO56 method and climatic data from the global GLDAS model for the period 2000-2015.
8. Land & Water Management
The Land and Water Management Specialist had discussions about availability of maps, data and information related to water use, irrigation, land use, crop area, productivity with various State agriculture, Horticulture Universities, Central Government departments, leading development agencies such as University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, Dharwad and Raichur, University of Horticultural Sciences Bagalkot and Shimoga, National Bureau of Soil Science and Land Use Planning (NBSSLUP), Soil and Land Use Survey of India (SLUSI), Command Area Development Authority, etc. Possibilities of taking up projects on partnership was discussed. It is learnt from the discussions that, individual agencies wish to partner with the ACIWRM some in studies and others in executing interventions on pilot basis to augment water, save and manage water on integrated way and improve water use efficiency and productivity. LWM Specialist has accompanied the Secretary and the Director (Technical) field visit to Hiware Bazar, near Ahmednagar in Maharastra to know processes followed and observe tangible impact in integrated land and water management as a result of good local leadership through bottom up participatory planning, collective action, transparency in operations (details furnished in Annex- ). LWM Specialist has participated in the Agricultural Science Congress held during the month of February 2017 at the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Bengaluru. Presentation were made and participated in discussions about key issues related to 'Climate-smart Agriculture' in all its facets, including socio-economic empowerment of farmers through technology development and policy initiatives for sustainable farming, forestry and natural resource management, especially water on integrated way (detailed report is presented in Annex- ).
65
Specialist has also attended a workshop on Water Accounting+ and made consultations with concerned departments and universities for nomination of staff for the proposed training on Water Use Productivity. Water Use Efficiency (WUE) & Water Use Productivity (WUP): Developed the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the study on Water Use Efficiency (WUE), Water Use Productivity (WUP) and Micro Irrigation. Also, developed detailed plan and Terms of Reference to study perspectives of water efficient crops and technologies in Tungabhadra sub-basin in collaboration with University of Horticulture Sciences (UHS), Bagalkot. Shared the ToRs with the Experts in the subjects for feedback. Organized meetings with the experienced Scientists and professionals from within and outside state and discussed approach and methodology to conduct WUE and WUP studies. Collected the CVs from potential professionals and agencies who already did studies of WUE & WUP of Major and Medium Irrigation (MMI) Systems. Facilitated discussions with KSRSAC when the UNESCO-IHE expert has come to Bangalore on visit to train the Irrigation Engineers on computing WUP. WTC Proposals: Discussed and supported in developing draft proposals for taking up land and water management pilots on integrated basis and to start and/ strengthen Water Technology Centers. UAS Bangalore, (VC Farm Mandya) and UHS Bagalkot have sent the draft proposals to this effect. Discussions with the Director of Research and subject experts in the University of Agriculture Sciences (UAS), Raichur has resulted in development of draft proposal to take up Integrated Land and Water Management Pilots in the Tungabhadra sub- basin as the institute has network of research and extension units within sub-basin. Following are the points listed in proposal by the UAS Raichur: Apart from the identification of issues, limiting factors in improving water use efficiency and productivity, water management and potential interventions to address each identified issue, the University is planning to introduce promising tested water saving technologies such as Direct Sowing of Rice (DSR) in Head reach of canal commands. Attempt to have incentives/ penalties to farmers adopting best water management practices, execute measures to collect real time data and information, process analyze, generate scientific data on the basis of which suitable measures can be taken in extending services to water users. The University has identified three canal distributaries on the left bank main canal of Tungabhadra irrigation project namely one distributory at Kasbe camp- Sirwar Vijayanagara Camp area where many farmers still practice transplanting of rice and use ponding method of irrigation. Second distributory close to Neermanvi, covering 2-3 villages where all farmers practice transplantation of rice with ponding method of irrigation and the third distributory at Veerapur village near Sindhanur taluk. All the proposed distributories representing head, middle reach and tail end situations of canal command area.
66
It is also proposed to strengthen the Water Technology Centre established recently at Gangavathi with the support of Rastriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY a Govt of India Scheme to State Government) to impart knowledge and skills to farmers, Water User Cooperative Societies (WUCS), staff of Irrigation Department, WALMI, CADA and line departments and other stakeholders. University of Horticulture Sciences (UHS) Bagalkot: LWM Specialist, ACIWRM, had interactions with the key officials of UHS Bagalkot. At present the University is in the process of developing proposal for studying suitability of soils along with water, climate and other relevant factors for the Tungabhadra sub- basin. Proposed study includes preparation of soil maps, existing land use, crops grown, irrigation potential, water flows, livelihoods, water use efficiency, water use productivity, etc. also plan measures for arresting soil erosion, water utilization. Sample of watersheds proposed for study and land and water management pilots are 4D4A1, 4D4A3, 4D4A2, representing rain fed areas, command area under lift irrigation scheme and canal command area under irrigation scheme. They have also planned to conduct water audits, interventions aiming for crop intensification and diversification to increase water use productivity. University of Agriculture Sciences (UAS) Bangalore: The VC Farm Mandya where the University has the Water Technology Centre developed with the support of Rastriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) has proposed two distributaries under Carvery command with geographical area of about 1500 ha area. The Scientists had interactions back and forth with the water users in the proposed area, identified issues such as physical/ technical, institutional, financial/ economic constraints related to water use efficiency, water use productivity. Solutions proposed includes. Proposed interventions to address water scarcity includes physical works, improved maintenance, improved Management Information Systems (MIS), conjunctive use of surface and groundwater, facilitating greater participation by water users in management, Operation and Maintenance (O&M). service delivery and maintenance issues. Rebate to Water User Associations (WUA) if water allocation by volumetric measurement. It is proposed to further strengthen the existing WTC to capacitate Water User Association (WUA) members, staff working in Irrigation Department (ID), Command Area Development Authority (CADA), Water and Land Management Institute (WALMI), extension agencies and other stakeholders.

Review of Work Plan and action taken
Presented the progress over the work plan during the meeting chaired by Director and complied his suggestions as following
-circulate table of contents/chapterisation of strategy paper - draft letters to HR agency for staff and Note for file for PS approval - ToRs for submission to ADB - Mass Communication expert and Video film - background, structure, stakeholders list, venue, budget estimate for 1st stakeholder workshop - first stakeholder workshop panned on 10th or 13th March
Review of Video Clip of IWRM training
At the outset, the video documentary of IWRM training program give glimpse of training program including methods and approaches like classroom training in an interactive mode, group discussions, field visits and excursions, interaction with stakeholders and diagnosing the problem, participants reporting, etc,.
However, transforming this video into short time video that provide gist of training concept, initiative by GoK, program content, training output and outcomes, etc., in a nutshell needs different technique.
One of the ways to convert this video into program document on above lines is to do Voice Over i.e., the present video may be retained at the back and dubbing and scrolling text could be undertaken. This way, we will be showing important scenes like lectures, field visits, group discussions, knowledge and management issues and the audio would cover the program concept, approaches, methods, exclusive initiatives and aims and objectives, output and outcome. This will support both informed and uninformed group to grasp the program per se.
Input given to the draft concept note over the Training Needs Assessment of Engineers and Officers of WRD, GoK.
Discussion with in house experts and consultants
- Had series of sharing of experience on Governance issue, features of Tungabhadra project with CTA - Discussion with Institutional and Policy Expert on Institutional aspects of Water Resources Management including The Karnataka Gram Swaraj and Panchayat Raj Act.

10. Groundwater aspects
ACIWRM will steer preparation of Gram Panchayath (GP) level water security plans under the aegis of National Groundwater Management Improvement Scheme (NGMIS). There are good number of GPs in Tungabhadra sub-basin and the outcome of this programme will be useful in arriving at conjunctive use of water and its role in IWRM and river basin planning.
ACIWRM is the state level nodal organisation for NGMIS in Karnataka. It coordinates with relevant line departments of Government of Karnataka, and with Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD & GR) to prepare Gram Panchayath (GP) level water security plans to be implemented by respective line departments in close collaboration with GPs.
Identification of Observation Borewells & new sites for groundwater level monitoring: Data obtained from Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and State Ground Water Directorate (GWB) was analysed to finalise the observation borewells. It was decided to comply with the recommendation of MoWR, RD & GR to have 10 piezometers with Digital Water Level Recorders (DWLRs) well spread across the groundwater stressed taluks.
Only 252 existing piezometers in the state will be used for real time groundwater monitoring to be fitted with DWLRs. Additionally, another 158 new piezometers will be established. Manual water level indicators will be issued to each of the GPs to measure the water levels regularly on fortnightly basis to create awareness among the general public and promote participatory groundwater measurement and monitoring to make appropriate decisions for effective water management.
Formats for Baseline data collection: Baseline data collection formats to be used by the NGOs for water budgeting exercise have been finalised and they will be trained to collect the data from secondary and primary sources.

11. Water Quality
River health
The Earth Summit in Rio de Janerio in 1992 promoted the conservation of ecosystem as a public good, independent of their utility as a resource. A logical extension to this is to grant rights to species and ecosystems, alongside the rights demanded by mankind. International Organisation, such as The World Conservation Union (IUCN) are now promoting environmental flow as a key element of IWRM.
By the efforts of Society for Wildlife and Nature and forest officials, the 34 kms stretch of river from Hole Mudlapura near T.B.Dam reservoir to the bridge of Kampli is declared as the “Tungabhadra Otter Conservation Reserve” on 25.4.2015 by the Government of Karnataka to protect the rare wildlife species from hunting and destruction of habitat. There are 4 water quality location in TBSB by WRD and 16 locations by KSPCB andall are monitored on a monthly basis. The surface water quality is deteriorating at Bhadravati, Shimoga, Harihar, Hole Honnur towns due to release of effluents and chemicals for paper mills, chemical and other industrial establishments.
The major pollutants in TBSB are mainly organic and bacterial contamination, especially BOD and COD, which threaten the life along the river.
Increase in EC of groundwater in the basin has reported especially in the arid region of Koppal, Bellary and Raichur district. Problems of salinity and water logging has increased due poor GW quality and shallow water tables.
KSPCB meeting
Meeting with KSPCB officer Dr. Nagappa and Dr Clive, CTA and Mr. Mohan R. Zade, River Basin Management Expert of ACIWRM was held on 28 February 2017. Following are the gist of the discussion;
Dr. Nagappa informed that Bio Mapping of Karnataka river is underway and polluted river stretches is already identified and restoration plan is in action. KSPCB has directed all urban local bodies to treat the waste and sewages water before releasing into river. There are nine labs by KSPCB in the state to check the water quality on monthly basis. With funding from GoI and GoK, KSPCB is analysing water quality at 204 locations in the state.
All the reports are regularly sent to CPCB, New Delhi. Continuous monitoring of river water is proposed by KSPCB to CPCB and agreed for 30 additional sites for mapping the water quality.

ANNEX-1
Executive Summary of Tungabhadra River sub-Basin profile
Introduction
Karnataka is one of the most progressive states with registered GSDP growth rate of 7.8% for the year 2014–15. However Karnataka is one of the most water-stressed states in India, with 61% of the state, the 5th highest percentage, in the drought prone area. The relative importance of agriculture in the GSDP is reducing quite quickly and demand for water by non-agriculture sector is increasing rapidly (e.g. water demand for industry is expected to almost triple from 2000-2025).Agriculture however remains by far the major water use both by water taken from rivers and groundwater but also through the use of rainfall and runoff in watersheds. Moreover in regard to climate change, there is long term warming trend and negative trend in rainfall for Karnataka and climate change studies indicated that area affected by drought will increase. [2]
With above fact, Government of Karnataka (GoK) has declared the period from 2011 to 2020 as Irrigation Decade, thereby increasing water use efficiency and also achieving food security. To achieve the objective the Karnataka Integrated Sustainable Water Resource Management Investment Program (KISWRMIP)is under taken by Govt with help of ADB. The impact of KISWRMIP is to improved sustainable water security in selected river basins in Karnataka . As a part of KISWRMIP, the Government of Karnataka (GOK) is committed to the establishment of an Advanced Centre for Integrated Water Resources Management (ACIWRM) in the 2011-12 financial year budget.
The ACIWRM is the first of its kind in India. The rationale for this initiative is to create an enabling environment for the GOK to pursue its objective of moving towards achieving water and food security in the declared Irrigation Decade (2011 – 2020). The IWRM framework provides the opportunity to integrate the land and water related management aspects at the sub-basin and river basin levels
The ACIWRM act as a think tank to the government’s Water Resources Department (WRD). It will engage in policy analysis, research, planning, capacity building and develop the knowledge base for gearing up the department up to its future vision 2030. The ACIWRM will work with the various departments, universities, farmers and water user associations, civil society, the private sector, and other organizations to provide integrated advice to the WRD for managing the state’s water resources.
The prime objectives of ACIWRM is to bring the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management into the water resources sector in Karnataka and to apply them as practical tools such as developing River Basin Planning and Management.
River Basin (RB) Planning process is one of the important element in IWRM framework. Hence RB Planning is initiated for Krishna Basin of Karnataka with Tungabhadra sub basin (TBSB) as pilot study at the beginning by ACIWRM. TBSB is selected for RB planning due to its diverse nature of issues such as interdispute, unauthorized irrigation, crop violation, head reach and tail enders problems at the agriculture level, industrial and domestic pollution, watershed development reducing rainfall runoff, GW quality and soil erosion leading to sedimentation in reservoir. Moreover, TBSB is the major tributary of Krishna Basin and82% of the basin area is in Karnataka. RB Planning begins with building the RB profile which provides a summary of the
72
current conditions, issues and trends in the river basin, a foundation for developing the River Basin Plan, and an information source to support future planning and government policy initiatives.
rationale for developing a River Basin Plan is to achieve equitable, sustainable, and acceptable water allocation by adopting the principles of IWRM.
Methodology
The necessary information pertaining to preparation of RB profile is elicited through secondary data collected from concerned departments mimeo, reports published and unpublished and websites. The findings of the same is shared among the stakeholders during the Stakeholders consultation workshops which is proposed to be held at various levels with the objective to provide authorities, as well as interested and affected parties with the opportunity to identify issues, concerns, and opportunities regarding the RB profile and planning and to address key stakeholder concerns during the preparation of the various safeguard intervention measures.
The Project Area: Tungabhadra Sub Basin (TBSB)
73
An attempt is made to provide valuable information related to the topographic, demographic, climatic, surface and ground water resources, hydro-meteorological and water quality scenario of Tungabhadra sub basin. The river Tungabhadra derives its name from two streams viz.,the Tunga,and theBhadra,which rise in the Western Ghats and confluence of the two streams at Koodli in Shimoga.
The Tungabhadra river is an inter-state river system flowing through the states of Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Major tributaries are the Bhadra, the Haridra, the Vedavati, the Tunga, the Varda and the Kumdavathi. The catchment area up to Karnataka and Telangana Border is 57,548 sq Km excluding the portion of Vedavati river flowing through AP (7148 sqkm).
Drainage area of Tunbabhadra river in the Western Ghats receives about 4500 mm of rainfall, while in the Rayalaseema area in the Peninsula receives less than 500 mm of rainfall.It is influenced chiefly by the South-West monsoon. The average annual mean temperature is 29.4°C.The basin falls into six major agro-climatic zones.The important soil types found in the basin are black soils (regur), red soils, laterite and lateritic soils, alluvium, mixed soils (red and black, red and yellow, etc.) and saline and alkaline soils.
Administrative and Demography
In the TBSB, districts with area more than 40% of the district are Bellary, Chitradurga, Davangere, Haveri, Koppal, Chikmaglur, Shimoga, Raichur, Gadag. These nine district cover about 68 taluks, 1697 villages, 2 Municipal Corporation, 14 City Mun. Council, and 5 district headquarter. As per 2011 census, the total population in the sub basin is about 14.2 million. The population density ranges from 273 to 223 persons per sq km. Most populated area in the basin is Davanagere and Bellary with more than 5580 persons per sq km. Growth rate of urban population is 31%, which is 4 times higher than rural population growth. Main issue is more water demand from urban user leading to conflict.
Climate and Land Use
The climate in upper reaches is mostly humid with hilly western ghats having average elevation 1200 msl and annual rainfall 2300 mm. The middle reach is upper catchment of Tungabhadra dam, dry region with average annual rainfall is 800 mm and characterised by undulating land. The lower reaches is mostly dominated by irrigated land with flat terrain having average rainfall of 600 mm. The 70% of annual rainfall occurs in the months of July to October. The basin is falls in the arid to semi arid region having 65% area of the TBSB.
As per the assessment of Land Use Land Cover, major part of the basin (60.09%) is covered by agriculture . Approximately 15.94% of the basin area is covered by forest (mostly in upper reaches), and around 3.89% of the basin area is covered by water bodies.Net sown area in the basin is around 38800 sq km of which 11626 sq km is irrigated by all source.The major crops grown are paddy, jowar, sugarcane, cotton and Ragi (finger millet).
The designed cropping pattern in the basin has been specified for semi arid crops. But in reality paddyand sugarcane crop dominates as the irrigation crop across the basin. This has resulted in more water logging and salinity in the downstream. Soil erosion, siltation and sedimentation is more in the middle reaches specially on Hirehalla tributary of Tungabhadra dam.
74
Governance
The development programs centred around water and water resources management in the basin is carried out by number of Central, State Departments, Boards and Users institutions at various levels. Further, it is guided by Central and State policies, Laws, Acts and Schemes.
Levels of Government Involved with Water Resources Management in the Basin
In India, Water Resources Development and Management is carried out by Central Government usually referred as Government of India, State Governments and Panchayat Raj Institutions. Water in principle is a state subject meaning it is under the State list as per the Constitutional Provision. However, there are rivers flowing beyond state boundary and thereby virtue of its trans-boundary nature falls under Union list1. Similarly, Panchayat Raj Institutions like Gram Panchayats are vested with roles and responsibilities on water resources development.
Socio-Economic Condition he demographic data show that of 14.2 million population, 49.65 % are females and 50.35 % are males. The schedule caste and schedule tribes population constitute 20.61% and 12.54 % respectively. The literates population is 12.6 million, of which 55.49 % are males and 44.51 % are females. Mainly agriculture is the occupation for 11 million rural population. Therefore water is most important for upliftment of farmers.
Inequitable water distribution and unauthorised irrigation by the well-off is very common in the basin.
Surface Water
There are total 12 gauging stations maintained by CWC and 9 by WRD on the eight tributary and mainstream of the Tungabhadra river. There are 325 rainguage stations maintained by WRD of which 52 are automatic type.The annual river flow varies from 297 TMC to 605 TMC., the average being 405 TMC.
There are 7 Major project and 16 Medium Projects. The important projects in the basin are Tunga, Bhadra, Tungabhadra,Vanivilas Sagar and Vijayanagar Major Irrigation Projects, while Upper Tunga,Singatlur are two major projects under construction. Since TBSB is interstate, the water allocation is decided as per the KWDT award. The total water allocation of Tungabhadra Reservoir across the sectors and concerned states (Karnataka and AP) is 230.31 TMC out of which, the agriculture sector gets the major share of 94.3 % (217.18), only 1.96 % (4.49) for drinking water and 3.72 % (6.1) for industrial usage.The total water allocation from reservoirs of the TBSB for domestic and drinking is 5.148 TMC and 14.737 TMC for industrial purpose.
All reservoirs were owned and managed by the Irrigation Department except Tungabhadra Reservoir, which is managed by the Tungabhadra Board.
Minor Tanks are the most predominant with the total number of 1420 in the basin.
There is one inter-basin transfer link proposed viz, Bedti - Varada Link which envisages the diversion of 8.54 TMC to TBSB and one intra-basin transfer link proposed; the Bhadra-Vedavati
75
Link for filling 367 tanks in Vedavati including 2 TMC water to be fed to Vanivillas Sagar by lifting 30 TMC water from Bhadra dam.
Irrigation
Irrigation is major input to crop production, in TBSB, area irrigated by all source is 11626 sq km of which 4240 sq km is by canal, 820 sq km by tanks, 123 sq km by wells, 5203 sq km by Tube wells, 621 sq km by Lift and 620 sq km by others. The total achieved potential of irrigation by canal is only 11 % of the net sown area in the basin. The percentage of net irrigated area by GW is 45% vis-a-vis 36% by canal for the year 2014-15. However, it is difficult to separate GW and Canal water use in the command area. Canal irrigation in command area is less efficient compared to individual field being irrigated by GW.
There are many issue in command areas such as lack of regulation system to decide release of water in canal network, farmers at tail end either do not get water or insufficient to meet Crop Water Demand due to poor maintenance of canal or excessive use of water at head reaches.
Ground Water
The CGWB is monitoring the ground water levels four times a year (Jan/May/Aug/Nov) through a network of 479 ground water observation wells in the sub basin.The net availability of GW is 189 TMC in TB sub basin and the volume of ground water extracted was 114 TMC in March 2014. Irrigation is the key sector contributing to extraction e.g. extraction for irrigation purpose is 107 TMC which is 93 % of total GW extracted). The extraction of GW is more in command areas as compared to non-command areas.
The net irrigated area by wells/Tube is around 45 % as compared to 36% by canal. The exploitation is more in district of Davengere, Gadag, Tumkur, Hassan, Chitradurga, and Haveri, this may be due to the non availability of irrigation command areas.
The GW is more exploited in the TBSB (60% of Net availability) and due to that GW table is going deeper as extraction is more than recharge.
Watershed Development
Karnataka has the highest proportion (79%) of drounght prone area in a state's geographical area in India. Accordingly, Karnataka state has been adopting the watershed development approach in a big way. Over the past 23 years many watershed development strategies and programs were implemented. Among different programmes, River Valley Programme (RVP) started in 1963-64 in quite distinct to reduce siltation in reservoirs and is implemented across entire catchments of major reservoirs. However, involvement of local communities was very limited. In Tungabhadra catchment 3232 Sq.km. of priority area has been treated since inception which accounts for 64.38% of the total priority area.
Recently, Sujala Watershed program has been taken up in Chitradurga (1050 Sq.km. area) and Haveri (760 Sq.km.) districts in Tungabhadra sub-basin. Under Sujala-III, Davanagere, Koppal, Chikmaglur, Raichur and Gadad districts in the Tungabhadra sub-basin were taken up for IWMP.
76
Water Quality
There are 4 water quality location in TBSB by WRD and 16 locations by KSPCB andall are monitored on a monthly basis. The surface water quality is deteriorating at Bhadravati, Shimoga, Harihar, Hole Honnur towns due to release of effluents and chemicals for paper mills, chemical and other industrial establishments.
The major pollutants in TBSB are mainly organic and bacterial contamination, especially BOD and COD, which threaten the life along the river.
Increase in EC of groundwater in the basin has reported especially in the arid region of Koppal, Bellary and Raichur district. Problems of salinity and water logging has increased due poor GW quality and shallow water tables
Groundwater in lower parts of basin specially in the districts of Bellary, Koppal and Raichur has gone beyond the permissible level for irrigation and also become non potable in certain parts of districts.
River Health and Ecology
The Earth Summit in Rio de Janerio in 1992 promoted the conservation of ecosystem as a public good, independent of their utility as a resource. A logical extension to this is to grant rights to species and ecosystems, alongside the rights demanded by mankind. International Organisation, such as The World Conservation Union (IUCN) are now promoting environmental flow as a key element of IWRM.
The Tungahadra river is a haven for various aquatic flora and fauna. Hundreds of species of wild fish and other aquatic wildlife found here. The globally endangered endemic major fauna including Smooth-coated Otter, Giant Soft-shelled Turtles (Chitra indica, Nilsonian lethii), Fresh water Crocodile and rare species of fishes are found here.
The sand banks and islands are the breeding grounds for the crocodiles and turtles. Otters too make their nest under the bushes in the banks for giving birth to the young ones.
By the efforts of Society for Wildlife and Nature and forest officials, the 34 kms stretch of river from Hole Mudlapura near T.B.Dam reservoir to the bridge of Kampli is declared as the “Tungabhadra Otter Conservation Reserve” on 25.4.2015 by the Government of Karnataka to protect the rare wildlife species from hunting and destruction of habitat.
Sedimentation
There are two locations at which sedimentation is measured in TBSB, one at Balehonnur and other at Tungabhadra dam. Sedimentation is a major issue in the TBSB as it is observed that gross storage of TB reservoir has been reduced from 132.47 TMC to 100.85 TMC; a 23.8 % loss as compared to design storage in the year 1953. TB Board has recommended soil conservation methods in the catchment of TB reservoir and construction of dams across Hirehalla tributary of river.
Capacity loss of Bhadra dam is reported to be 3% from its original 71.53 TMC in the year 1964.
77
Drought and Flooding
According to the Revenue Department, downstream of TBSB specially the district of Koppal, Bellary and Raichur are facing the worst drought for more than 10 years out of 16 years. Estimated loss due to drought in 2016 is Rs. 17193 Crore or a 20% loss compared to 85375 Crore in the plan budget. Almost 129 taluks have experienced drought for more than 8 years between 2001-2016.
Drought is more common in TBSB compared to flood because TBSB is falling under semiarid to arid region and it is more drought prone.
Various drought proofing works like construction of bunds, farm ponds, multi arch check dams, bore well recharge structures, river and tank rejuvenation works,and open wells have undertaken under MGNREGA by Rural Development and Panchayath Raj Department.
Urban Water Supply
Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Drainage Board is responsible for providing water supply and sewerage facilities to all 49 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the basin. River Tunga, Bhadra and Tungabhadra are the main sources of drinking water supply.
The total volume of water supplied is 344.5 MLD (4.49 TMC), out of which 331.4 MLD (4.32 TMC) constitutes surface water and 13.09 MLD is groundwater. However, 5.148 TMC water is allocated for drinking and domestic needs for urban and rural areas from various reservoir and from Tungabhadra rivers by WRD.
During scarcity, drinking water is the priority water use and water is supplied also through other alternative sources -groundwater and irrigation tanks to meet the demand.
Fishing
Fishing is one of the major activities supporting livelihoods in the Tungabhadra basin. Reservoirs are one of the major sources of fishing supporting 40 % of fishing community in the TBSB. Reservoirs cover a large area with total water spread area of 57217 ha, out of which 98 per cent is covered by major reservoirs in the TBSB. The fisheries sector contributes 0.7% of the gross GDP and 3.18% of the net GDP to the state’s economy.
Hydro Power
There are two power houses in the sub basin namely The Tungabhadra Hydro Electric Scheme (TBHES) comprises of two powerhouses at the TB reservoir with total installed capacity of 36 MW each and New Mini Hydel Power Station initiated in 2004 with 12.25 MW capacity and installed at 2015. Power generated is shared between Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka in the ratio of 80:20.
78
Industry
There are 27 large-scale industries in the basin, 2,543 small-scale industries and the two major industries viz., Mysore Paper Mills (MPM) and Vishweshvaraiah Iron and Steel Industries (VSIL) located at Bhadravathi. Harihara Polyfibres, GRASIM, two sugar industries and two distilleries are the major industries located along the Tungabhadra river.
The sources of supply for the industries are both surface and ground water with the majority of the water supply from ground water sources. Total allocation to industry made by WRD is 14.74 TMC from various reservoir to the industries spread in the basin.
Tourism and Culture
Sringeri, a religious temple established by the Adi Shankaracharya on the bank of Tunga attracts more than 10,000 pilgrims daily normally and 15,000 to 25,000 on special occasions. Visitors are offered free lunches everyday and consume 70,000 to 1 lakh litres daily. Another temple at Horanadu, consumes around 25,000 – 30,000 KL/d. Similarly, there are other prominent places like Hampi and other religious centres.
National Park and Sanctuary
The forests of Karnataka support a wide range of flora and fauna (bio-diversity) through a network of well-connected and protected Wildlife Sanctuaries and National Parks. There are 5 Wildlife Sanctuary viz, Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary, Bhadra Tiger Reserve , Shettyhalli Wildlife sanctuary , Daroji Bear Sanctuary , Ranebennur Black Buck Sanctuary and one National Park viz., Kudremukh National Park. The annual number of visitors in those park is 45000 including foreign tourist. The availability of water allocation and use is not much estimated.
Conclusion
The major issues in TBSB, which are relevance to River Basin Plan are
• Cropping pattern in the Tungabhadra basin was specified for semi arid crops but paddy and sugarcane dominate in command areas, resulted in more water logging and salinity in the downstream due to shallow Water Table coupled with deep black cotton soils. • Infrastructure is broken in some areas of command area. • Unauthorized irrigation in head reach of the canal deprives water to the tail end areas generated inequality in water distribution. • Accessibility, availability and inequity in drinking water supply are prominent. • Unaccounted use of water in TBSB ranged between 20-40 per cent. • Run off from agricultural fields, industrial effluents, domestic sewage and mining activities cause pollution in river during non-monsoon period, thereby risk in aquatic life and human health in basin. • Sedimentation of Tungabhadra reservoir has reduced the capacity of reservoir. Hence reduction in irrigated area
79
• Fish kills are frequent affecting livelihoods of fishermen. • Health impacts of pollution are not analyzed regularly. • Water quality is affected from industrial pollution and domestic sewages due release of waste and untreated water into river as there is no provision of sewage treatment plant. • Around 20 towns have no underground drainage system and sewage treatment plants. • Eleven towns discharge waste water into the river. • Inflow to downstream Tungabhadra dam is reducing, while rainfall more or less same in the upper catchment of dam. Possibly due to Watershed Development Works • Migration of rural community from the basin because of crop failure associated with drought condition and increasing cost of cultivation compared to returns. • Drought is more often in the basin compared to flooding specially in the district of Koppal, Bellary and Richur

ANNEX-2
Field visit to - a successful village in water management through people participation Hiware Bazar, Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra
ACIWRM organised a field visit to a village in Maharashtra for Secretary, Water Resources Department, Government of Karnataka who led led a team of three officers from WRD, GoK for a field visit during 30 - 31 Jan. 2017 to Hiware Bazar in Maharashtra on the advice of The Secretary, Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Government of India in a meeting of NGMIS on 14th January 2017 at New Delhi to learn about the successful initiatives and process in effective participatory water resources management.
Background An effective implementation of watershed program with people’s participation which resulted in significant impact, at Ralegaon siddi village lead by Anna Hazare and/or Hiware Bazar lead by Popatrao Pawar in Maharashtra State are the two leading successful initiatives in India which are often cited as worth learning from. These two villages have become visiting places for all the stakeholders in watershed program.
Mr. Popatrao Pawar, the Panchayat President & Leader,
briefing the Secretary
During the visit an elaborate discussion was held with key person Mr. Popatrao Pawar, the person who took initiative and continuing his efforts since 1989, followed by a detailed visit to the works in the field. Mr. Pawar says the key elements contributed for success are as follows:
Openly discussing issues in Gram Sabha (GS), Village Council and decisions on any kind of development work or management arrangement being made in Gram Sabha Panchayat (elected) then collating those decisions into a work plan and look at the government schemes which can support financially to make the plan implementable
83
Transparency in transactions and budgetary aspects including people’s contribution - shared every 2 months in Grama Sabha Linking individual responsibility at community level for individual welfare Need to change thinking or attitude of people All works being decided against the calculation of water balance on a scientific basis Unanimous election/selection of Mr. Pawar as Sarpanch (President) of Gram Panchayat Development agencies or departments should go to villages not with ready made plans asking people to implement but go with open mind and plan with people, participatory need based, situation specific bottom up planning ensures feel of ownership by people With the experience gained and trust earned, now he can plan village development to create impact in much less time
Mr. Popatrao Pawar is a resident of Hiware Bazar in Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra State which was constantly hit by frequent droughts and crop failures. He completed his post- graduation studies in Accounts and was a sportsman too. After completion of his studies, he was touched by the challenges faced by people of his own village such as acute shortage of water for irrigation and drinking, migration of people in search of employment for survival.
During that period he happens to visit and see watershed development program work effectively implemented and address water crises in village Ralegaon Siddi, about 50 km away from Hiware Bazar village lead and developed by Sri Anna Hazare, a dedicated worker. Mr. Popatrao very much influenced and impressed about the process and development at Ralegaon Siddi, determined to adopt the same process in his village, initiated the discussions with villagers and after 3 to 4 yrs could bring people together for a common cause.
About Hiware Bazar Village: Hiware Bazar Gram Panchayat (GP) in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state has 216 households with 1,150 population (census 2001). Marathas (185 out of 216 households) constitutes majority of population. The village has 977 ha of geographical area, with 795 ha cultivable area.
The annual average rainfall of the village as reported is about 579 mm but in reality, they get less than the average rainfall, around 250 mm. It is said about 90 per cent of area is with basalt with low infiltration rate of 1.5 percent of the total rainfall. Ground water struck at the depth of 35 feet and used for drinking purpose. The ground water can be found within the depth of 100 feet only.
84
Bunding in rain-fed farm lands
They grow crops both in kharif and rabi seasons such as Jowar, Tur, Bengal gram, Onion, etc. The villagers don’t grow crops in summer if the rainfall is low. The income of farmers is supplemented in drought years with income earned from milk production.
During the year 1989 Mr. Popatrao Baguji Pawar got unanimously elected as the Sarpanch (President) of the Hiware Bazar GP and immediately initiated water conservation works. Pawar knows that, as per 73rd Amendment, the GP has rights to plan and execute works as per needs of villagers. He has oriented the villagers on the powers of the GP, existing Government Schemes, support to address problems of village in GP meetings and necessity of community action to overcome problems and get benefitted.
Mr. Pawar facilitated the villagers to present the issues of the village in the Gram Sabha (GS). The issues such as depleting ground water, migration, crop failures were presented and discussed in the GS, and sought opinions from the members on the issues and remedial/developmental options. The GP could develop a five years’ plan with the people participation for village development but could be able to execute the five-year plan within two years itself as people took interest in implementation.
Activities and Schemes (Interventions)
The village community has developed certain social norms which are considered as waste of money and harmful. These social norms are being unanimously agreed and followed. The norms followed are; - nobody in village consume liquor, - ban on tobacco and no one to smoke, - nobody should cut trees, - no free grazing by animals, and - everyone to contribute to the work; maintain self-governance and keep transparency in transactions.
85
These above five principles have ensured a very good discipline among the village population and apparently contributed to the turn over of the people for shramdhan and belongingness in community works.
The GP organizes periodical GS, once in two months, and share developments. Recently they also made HIV tests. People also decided not to grow sugarcane and crops in summer season to save water.
Masonry Gully plugs Series of gully plugging constructed along stream to prevent soil erosion & conserve water
After implementing initial small works during 1989 - 1994, under various schemes, a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for ecological regeneration on watershed principles was prepared for the village for 1995-2000. All the planned watershed works, were effectively implemented in two years though planned for five years, such as water harvesting, recharging structures, contour trenches, bunds, plantation, etc., under the leadership of Mr. Pawar. A water audit- demand & supply side exercise was also done, every year. Water supply side activities and water use (demand) side activities were being effectively considered in planning water use. Social audit organized periodically to keep up transparency.
Main water conservation works executed includes 40,000 contour trenches around hills to conserve rainwater and recharge groundwater. About 440 hectares of contour bunding stopped the run-off and 660 small water harvesting structures caught (stored) rainwater.
Apart from execution of core soil and water conservation activities, the villagers gradually included other related activities such as support for construction of School building, village roads, individual toilets, family planning, women welfare, market information Centre, etc. Mr. Pawar with his long experience is now confident of creating impact in new villages in short period of time. He has provided support for preparation of plan for Uvatmal village in Kotoda, where the villagers have implemented the plan. As a result of program, reduction in farmer suicides is clearly seen.
By looking at the impact in Hiware Bazar, many donors have spent their resources for further development. During the year 2012 Jairam Ramesh, ex Minister of Rural Development, Government of India visited the village and has granted funds to construct a training center under
86
National Institute for Rural Development & Panchayati Raj (NIRD) in Hiware Bazar with a wish to cloning to prepare more number of volunteer leaders like Mr. Pawar.
Impacts as a Consequence of Interventions: The present impact in the village is found to be the result of continued adoption of set (established) norms and practices by the people in the village under the able leadership of Mr. Pawar. It is reported that, because of conservation of water and efficient water use, better crop management practices, the farmers earned significant increase in income from crop and milk production. The forest area has been treated with water and soil conservation activities, planted with forest species and protected from free grazing. These measures have led to growing of grass abundantly. People are allowed to cut grass and stall fed animals. This activity has increased milk production and income of villagers.
Rejuvenated barren forest land with effective implementation of watershed works
Key Result Areas of Sustained Efforts: EGS funds are effectively used to regenerate village land and water resources by creating productive assets like water conservation structures and forest. Number of wells has increased from 97 to 217 and irrigated land has gone up from 120 ha in 1999 to 260 ha in 2006 Community adoption of not to use bore wells for irrigation purpose Curtailed wasteful use of water and regulated cropping pattern Increase in income of villagers by 20 times in past 15 years and now no family is under Below Poverty Line (BPL). About 50 families’ annual income in village is more than Rs. 10 lakh per year Ground water level maintained at about 40 feet even in drought years. More than 40 families returned from migration.
87
Gross production went up from 100 tons in 2000 to 6,000 tons from 70 ha protected forest area. Increase in number of milk animals from 20 in 1998 to 340 and milk production rose from 150 liters a day to 4,000 liters. No shortage of water for drinking and irrigation even in drought years. About 400 visitors come to village on daily basis to observe the achievements. Number of VIPs, national and international persons visited village including farmers. A number of awards were presented for good work done.
Water in open dug wells as a result of Water harvested in tanks which helped in conservation works recharging dug wells
Future Visionary Plans (Way forward): In response to the question of Secretary of Water Resources, Govt. of Karnataka, about their way forward, Mr. Pawar expressed his ideas as below: Prepare three months’ leadership development courses. Plan to develop village brand for agriculture products by focusing on four main crops. Promote green fodder, custard apple cultivation as these crops require minimum water. They still face challenges in equal distribution of water and marketing of produce and hence a plan to pump water from all sources, store in 3 feasible locations and distribute equitably among villagers in next 2 years Want to introduce processing of pulses to get profit to growers. Want to expand area under micro irrigation. Wish to introduce Organic farming. Vision of achieving people’s health aspects of sugar & BP free village.

Very healthy crop Onion grown as one of the cash crops
Milk production has supplemented farmers’ income even in drought years
LEARNINGS from visit to Hiware Bazar
Leadership is the crucial element for the success and sustainability of the development movement since 27 years Wonderful work is done with people's participation and efforts should be made to scale up the same in all villages. Utilization of various government schemes only and not depending on external finances Social Audit by the villagers themselves on the works enhances the quality of the works and also builds the trust between the people and the panchayat Transparency in decision making and sharing the progress both physical and financial is the crucial accelerator for development
89
Decisions such as No free grazing for effective soil conservation, no cultivation of sugarcane and paddy - which consume high water are well implemented because they were decided in Gram Sabha and people themselves were monitoring closely - these were possible because of the awareness on water balance calculations in the village

Agricultural Science Congress at the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Bengaluru February 21-24th 2017 The National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), India organized XIII Agricultural Science Congress at the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Bengaluru in collaboration with local ICAR Institutes from February 21-24th 2017. The theme of the Congress was 'Climate-smart Agriculture'. discussed key issues related to 'Climate-smart Agriculture' in all its facets, including socio-economic empowerment of farmers through technology development and policy initiatives for sustainable farming, forestry and natural resource management, especially water. Distinguished scientists in all concerned disciplines from across the world participated.
It was noted that, increased food production and sustainability in changing climate needs attention. It is reported that, ICAR has developed climate resilient villages under NICRA Project and now looking ways and means to replicate climate resilient villages models. Contingent plans related to Crops, animals were developed under NICRA project along with 45 Integrated Farming Systems. It is emphasized to think on how to take these success models to farmers to improve livelihoods. It is mentioned that, to see smile in farmers face every one has to think how to innovate & areas to innovate, specific plans.
It is felt that, the climate change (CC) has extended into our bedroom also. Calls for action. CC has three targets- decrease emission by 1/3, increase renewable energy and corban sequestration. Ag affects cc & gets affected. Meeting food needs is found nonnegotiable. Need to produce Rice with less carbon emission. People take serious if it happens very next to them than saying glaciers melt, global warming, etc. It is found that, now a day’s farmers are resorting for burning trash which is not a good practice. Need to change irrigation methods to improved methods to improve efficiency in water use.
If heat increases due to high temperature and droughts crop duration decreases. Water harvesting & W/S, nutrition security becomes necessary. We need to see the nutrition security by enthusing farmers & public policy, scientific technology.
Mr. Krishna Byregowda, Minister of Agriculture, Karnataka said, manifestation of cc is seen in KS during 2011 drought, 2012-13 in 152 blocks; 2015 in 139 blocks & 2016 in 160 blocks got affected with water crises. Irony is wind, torrential hailstorms devastating, flood & worst drought. Consecutive drought. State grapple with issues. Threat to humanity. Consensus in public domain about CC but people feel is remote. Not get linked global to local. Sensitize people in rural areas about cc with local happening facts. Reach to public by explaining cause & consequences at local. Cc poses risk to ag. Science has potential to address along with exciting innovations. He remarked biotechnology application is mind blowing, boggling. Issue, challenge: how to manage grossly inefficient use of irrigation water. Put hard facts to take tough decisions. Shrinking water availability day by day.

The Honorable Governor of Karnataka State states everything is possible. Rushimuni did research in past. Mangal—pani—life. Potentiality is there but, not found opportunity. We are manufacturing helicopters, success in aerospace- 104 satellites launched at one time. Farmers are only 30%. Farmers number decreasing over years. Save water like Israel then farmer live. He coated an example of Innovation- now bulb with 6 volts give same light as 100 volts earlier. “Pani Bachav, Pani Apku Bachayaga. Minimize carbon emission

Status of Water Resources in Karnataka State
- Inventory of River Basins - Executive Summary
Karnataka State Profile
The State of Karnataka is located within 11.5 degree North and 18.5 degree North latitudes and 74 degree East and 78.5 degree east longitude. It is situated on a tableland where the Western and Eastern Ghat ranges converge into the Nilgiri hill complex, in the Western part of the Deccan Peninsular region of India. The State is bounded by Maharashtra and Goa States in the North and North-West; by the Arabian Sea in the West; by Kerala and Tamilnadu States in the South and by the States of Andhra Pradesh in the East. Karnataka extends to about 750 km from North to South and about 400 km from East to West.
Administrative Profile
The state has a total land area of 1,91,791 sq.km, accounting for 5.83% of the total area of the country (32.88 lakh sq. km) and ranks eighth among major States in terms of size. As per 2011 Census, the State's population was 611 lakhs (approximately). There are 968 females per thousand population. Karnataka occupies Ninth place with regard to population and the density of population as per 2011 Census was 319 persons per sq. km which was lower than the all- India density of 382. Karnataka State has been divided into four Revenue divisions, 49 sub- divisions, 30 districts, 177 taluks for administrative purposes.
The State has 27,028 inhabited and 2,362 uninhabited villages, 281 (241 Municipalities) towns and urban agglomerations. Bangalore is the sixth largest urban agglomeration out of 23 metropolis, urban agglomerations and cities in India.
Geology
The geology of Karnataka lay widespread in 5 major eras, namely the Archean, Proterozoic, Mesozoic and the Ceonzoic. The geology of Karnataka is largely confined to the two oldest eras; the Archean and the Proterozic. The rest of the great periods from Cambrian to recent are hardly represented but for minor sediments of recent age exposed along the coastal margin to the West. A substantial part of North Karnataka is covered by Deccan trap, representing phenomenal outburst of volcanic activity at the dawn of the Cenozoic era. The state is exposed oldest rocks in Gorur area, Hassan district, Karnataka date back to about 3300 million years. The Precambrian craton of Karnataka is made up of western and eastern segments. The Precambrians of Karnataka have been divided into older Sargur supracrustals (about 3300 to 3000 million year old) and younger Dharwar supracrustals (about 3000 to 2600 million year old. The Dharwar supracrustals Supergroup has been further divided into older Bababudan Group (ca.3000 to 2700 million years) and younger Chitradurga Group (ca.2700 to 2500 million years). The schist belts of the Eastern craton, like Kolar, Hutti, Sandur etc., appear to be approximately equivalent to the
93
Chitradurga Group. The Karnataka craton has been extensively intruded by granites and granitoids of the ca. age2600 to 2500 million years. The eastern Karnataka abounds in these granites and granitoids. The northern part of Karnataka is made up of Kaladgi and Badami and Bhima Group of sediments, approximately of Proterozoic age. Further north the terrain is covered by extensive volcanic flows known as Deccan traps of Cretaceous - Tertiary age (NIDM, ).
Climate Profile
The state located on the western coast, gets most of the precipitation form the southwest monsoon. The state experiences three types of climate: arid, semi-arid and humid tropical. The climate changes fro pla e to pla e due to the region’s altitude, topography and the distance from the sea. The State enjoys three distinct climates varying with the seasons. The winter season from January to February is followed by summer season from March to May. The period from October to December forms the post-monsoon season. The period from October to March, covering the post-Monsoon and winter seasons, is generally pleasant over the entire State except during a few spells of rain associated with north-east monsoon which affects the south- eastern 4 parts of the State during October to December. The months April and May are hot, very dry and generally uncomfortable. Weather tends to be oppressive during June due to high humidity and temperature. The next three months (July, August and September) are somewhat comfortable due to reduced day temperature although the humidity's continue to be very high.
Rainfall
The state receives the benefit of two monsoons: the North-East monsoon and the South-West monsoon. Karnataka receives mean annual rainfall of around 1,355 millimeters. More than 73 percent of this rainfall is received due to the South-West monsoon.
The state can be earmarked into three meteorological zones, namely, North Interior Karnataka, South Interior Karnataka and Coastal Karnataka. The occurrence and distribution of rainfall in the state is not uniform. The region that receives the maximum rainfall is Coastal Karnataka. It gets an average annual rainfall of 3,456 mm. South Interior Karnataka receives only 1286 mm average rainfall while North Interior Karnataka receives the least rainfall with 731 mm average figure annually.
The southwest monsoon brings maximum rainfall to the state. The district of Udupi gets the highest average rainfall while the districts such as Chitradurga, Koppal and Bijapur receive the lowest rainfall. The annual rainfall in the state varies roughly from 50 to 350 cm. In the districts of Bijapur, Raichur, Bellary and Southern half of Gulbarga, the rainfall is the lowest varying from 50 to 60 cm. The rainfall increases significantly in the Western part of the State and reaches its maximum over the coastal belt. The South-West monsoon is the principal rainy season during which the State receives 80% of its rainfall. Rainfall in the winter season (January to February) is less than one percent of the annual total in the hot weather season (March to May) about 70% and in the post-monsoon season about 12%.
94
Demographic Profile
Karnataka ranks ninth in terms of population in India. The population density of the state is 319 per sq. km. The decadal growth rate of Karnataka’s population is 5.7%. Karnataka’s population was recorded as 61.13 million as per 2011 Census of India. Out of this, 61.43% reside in the rural areas.
The sex ratio for the state is 973 which is higher than the all-India average of 940. The sex ratio for rural Karnataka is 979 while for urban Karnataka it is 963. The child sex ratio for Karnataka stands at 948. This figure is again higher than the national average of 914. The overall literacy rate for the state of Karnataka is 75.4%. The male literacy rate is 82.47%. The female literacy rate stands at 68.08%.

Agriculture Profile
Agriculture is a major occupation for most people in rural Karnataka. About 123,100 sq. km of land is cultivated in Karnataka. This is about 64.18% of the total geographical area of the state. Agriculture in Karnataka is heavily dependent on the southwest monsoon. While only 26.5 per cent of the sown area (30,900 km²) is under irrigation, 64.60 per cent of the total geographical area is under cultivation. The major crops grown in the state are cereals, pulses, oilseeds and cash crops. Ragi, paddy, maize, jowar, and bajra are the major food crops grown in Karnataka.
Karnataka is the largest producer of coffee, raw silk and sandalwood based products like perfumes and 75% of Indian floriculture industry is located in Karnataka. The main oil seed crops in the state are sunflower, safflower, ground nut and sesame. Important crop exports from the state include coffee, tea and mango. The state accounts for 59% of the ountry’s offee produ tion and 7% of the ountry’s ragi produ tion. Karnataka produces more than 55% of the raw silk produced in the country.
1 About 61% of the people live in the villages and 71% of the total work force is engaged in agriculture. The lower slopes of the Western Ghats in Kodagu District, Chikmagalur District and Hassan District produce coffee. Sandalwood comes from the dense forested areas of southern Karnataka. Mysore District is the primary producer of raw silk in India and the world famous Mysore silk saris which are manufactured at the Mysore silk factories. Water rich areas of Mandya District, Shimoga District, Dakshina Kannada districts produce most of the sugarcane though cultivation of this crop is wide spread. Jute, Jowar, Bajra, and pulses (Tur and gram) and oil seeds are largely grown in the drier areas of northern and north-central Karnataka. Cotton is grown in abundance in Gulbarga District and Davangere District is a center of cotton trade and industry.
Agriculture remains the primary activity and main source of livelihood for the rural population in the state. It is characterized by wide crop diversification and remains highly dependent on the vagaries of the southwest monsoon. During 2010-11, food grain production in the state increased at an enormous rate of more than 14% over the previous year and this increase was mainly led by an increase in yield as the area increase during the year was only 2.9 per cent. Agriculture contributed 13.5 per ent at onstant pri es to the state’s G“DP in -12. There has been a decline in GSDP generated from the agricultural sector and consequently, the SDP per worker in the sector has been declining at a faster rate in the recent past when compared to the last decade. The share of primary sector has declined from 14.5 % in 2011-12 to 11. 79 % in 2015-16.

Soil Profile
There are varied types of soils in Karnataka. Six broad groups of soil orders are recognized, based on differences in soil formation processes, as reflected in the nature and sequence of soil horizons. Black soils are found in northern Karnataka whereas red and red loamy soils are prominent in southern Karnataka. Laterite soils are found in Malnad and coastal areas of the state (Table 1). A brief description of the properties of these soil groups, along with their distribution across districts of Karnataka, is presented below as well as depicted in the Table below.
Soil Type Properties District wise Distribution Black Soil In texture, soil varies from loam Districts are Belgaum, Bijapur, to clays. Generally they are Gulbarga and Bidar; also parts neutral to alkaline in reaction, of Raichur, Chitradurga and calcareous and well supplied Bellary with bases such as Ca, Mg, k. Black soils are known to get self ploughed due to their swelling and shrinking properties with changes in moisture content.
Laterite Soil Laterite soils result from Malnad and coastal areas of advanced stages of weathering; Uttara Kannada, Dakshin highly leached, they are poor in Kannada and parts of Dharwad, bases and very acidic in Chikmagalur, Hassan reaction. The moisture retentivity of the soil is very poor; soil contains adequate quantities of organic matter.
Red and Red Loamy Soil They are light textured, from Shimoga, Chikmagalur, Hassan, sandy to gravelled or loamy, Mysore and Kodagu with poor aggregating ability. They are poor in bases and acidic to neutral in reaction.
Coastal Alluvials The surface soil is generally Dakshin Kannada, and Uttar grey, yellow or light brown; the Kannada intensity of the colour increases with depth. The soils are acidic in nature, low in cation exchange capacity and bases.
Dark Brown Clayey Soil They are clayey, low in bases, Dakshin Kannada, Uttar rich in organic matter as the Kannada, Kodagu & Mysore surface soil receives the decomposition product of the virgin forest
Mixed Red and Black Soil Black soil seen in the low lands Belgaum, Bijapur, Dharwad,

Land-use Pattern
Land is a finite resource and its demand for diverse purposes is increasing day by day. There are large areas of utilizable but wasteland resources. Moreover, the pressure of commercialization is increasingly forcing out productive land resources for nonagricultural uses. Considering the importance of land use and policy, the Government of Karnataka brought out a document on land use policy recently (GoK, 2003). The analysis of land use data from 1966 to 2009 indicates structural changes in land use pattern. Areas under permanent pasture decreased consistently and areas under nonagricultural uses increased sharply during the past four decades. Fallow land, which was 6 around 11 lakh ha, increased to 13.50 lakh ha after mid-nineties (Table 2). Fallow land area fluctuates from year to year; in certain years (like 1998-99, 1990-2000, 2001- 02, 2006-07 and 2008-09), the percentage reached above 10 per cent of the total (190.50 lakh ha) geographical area of the state. This was mainly because of deficient rainfall and the inability of the government to provide irrigation facilities in those years. The net sown area also started shrinking after 1990s. The net sown area, which accounted for 55.776 per cent of the total geographical area of the state in the triennium ending 1988, declined to 54.28 per cent during the triennium 2007-09. The interpretation of this data is difficult due to many factors like illegal encroachments and changing land use due to population pressure and market forces (GOI, 2004).
As can be seen in the figure below, the net sown area has further declined to 52.72 %. Other details can be seen in the figure below. The cropping intensity in the state for the year 2014-15 was reported as 121 %.

Land Holding
It is interesting to note that the number of small and marginal holdings as well as their share in the total operated area is increasing over the years. The increase in small and marginal holdings and area operated became more conspicuous after 2000-01. Small and marginal farmers (operating < 2 ha) account for 76 percent of the holdings and share roughly 37 percent of the operated area in Karnataka. The average size of operated area of all the land size classes is declining. This clearly indicates the increasing fragmentation of land holdings in the state.
Irrigation Profile
Irrigation plays an important role in improving production and productivity of agriculture. It facilitates adoption of improved technologies and increases cropping intensity thereby 13 making optimum use of a finite resource i.e., land. There has been a gradual increase in the irrigated area in the state. The gross irrigated area has increased steadily from 9.06 lakh ha during 1960-63 to 27.45 lakh ha during 1990-93 and touched 41.87 lakh ha for the triennium ending 2008-11. The net irrigated area is 34.90 lakh ha at the triennium ending 2008-11 when compared with 22.05 lakh ha during 1990-93.
Among the irrigation sources, canals and tanks were the major sources of irrigation till 1980s. However, the share of tube/bore wells in the total irrigated area started increasing phenomenally after early 1990s. In 2008-11, the net area irrigated by tube/bore wells accounted for 36.29 per cent of the total net irrigated area in Karnataka as against 32.84 per cent covered by canal irrigation.
104
The following figure shows that the share of tube/bore wells in the total irrigated area has increased up to 39.31 %. Canals (33.96 %) remain the second major source of irrigation followed by wells (10.07 %).

Water Resource Profile
Water resources of Karnataka primarily constitutes surface and groundwater. Rainfall is the basic source of water in the state. Surface water is available in Karnataka in the form of rivers, lakes, waterfalls, reservoirs, etc. Being the seventh largest state in India (area-wise), Karnataka possesses about six percent of the country’s total surface water resources of about 17 lakh million cubic metres (Mcum).
Karnataka is blessed with seven river basins. There are 36,753 tanks in the state and they have a capacity of about 684,518 hectares. The rivers, along with their tributaries, account for much of Karnataka’s surface water resources. About 60 percent of the state’s surface water is provided by the west flowing rivers while the east flowing rivers account for the remaining portion. The annual average yield in the seven river basins of the state is estimated to be around 3,475 TMC. The yield in the six basins, excluding the west flowing rivers is estimated to be 1,440 TMC.
The seven river basins in Karnataka are: 1. Krishna 2. Cauvery 3. Godavari 4. West flowing rivers 5. North Pennar 6. Poniyar 7. Palar
110
Karnataka has groundwater resources estimated to be around 485 TMC. Ground water resources have not been exploited evenly across the state. In areas where adequate surface water is available, exploitation of ground water resources is minimum. Exploitation of ground water in the dry taluks of North and South interior Karnataka is higher as compared to Coastal, Malnad and irrigation command areas of the state.
Stressful situation of water resources
Though Karnataka enjoys a substantial amount of rainfall and has a significant quantity of water resources, it is not enough to meet the ever-increasing water requirement of the state. Karnataka suffers repetitive droughts. In spite of the availability of water from the river systems and tanks, Karnataka faces the serious issue of 67 percent of its land marked for irrigation falling under dry tracts.
With a rapidly increasing population and improved living standards, the pressure on the water resources is constantly on the rise. The per capita availability of water resources is reducing day by day. The erratic behaviour of rainfall and the Inter-State River Water disputes aggravate the problem. The impact of climate change on the water resources also cannot be ignored. Siltation of water bodies, misuse of resources, poor management of catchment area, all add to the stressful water resource situation in the state.
Groundwater is the major source of drinking water in Karnataka. Over 90 percent of the drinking water supply schemes in the rural areas of the state are based on ground water. This over exploitation is causing the fast decline of ground water resources in the state. The result is the scarcity of safe drinking water across many parts of Karnataka.
In order to cater to the water requirement of the expanding population, the existing water resources must be conserved and prevented from further degradation and depletion. Judicious and economic use of water resources for agricultural, industrial and domestic purposes can help in solving the problem to a large extent.
Hydro Electric Power
Karnataka has 26 hydro-electric power stations of varying capacities across rivers in the state. Twelve of these are situated in the Krishna Basin, followed by the West Flowing Rivers hosting ten of the total power plants in the State.
111
Number of Power Plants (WRIS India Data)
15.38
38.46 Cauvery Basin

Water Quality The quality of water is fast deteriorating in Karnataka, mainly in the rural areas. A report by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department indicates that out of the 59,945 habitations in Karnataka, water quality in nearly 2365 habitations is affected. The main contaminants of water resources in these areas are Fluoride (1225 habitations), Nitrate (564 habitations), Iron (366 habitations), Salinity (124 habitations) and Arsenic (9 habitations). The Tumkur district is has highly contaminated water, with nearly 455 habitations with contaminated water sources. Water sources in Chamarajanagara and Kodagu have no zero habitations that are contaminated. 112
