FOREWORD Preparation of District Plan with Convergence on all platforms for Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayi Yojana for Chikkaballapura, an absolute rainfed district is very challenging. But, it is an opportunity indeed, to plan for equity in water management. First opportunity is to extend availability of water from 45 rainy days to 365 days. There is ample water to meet Domestic and Livestock needs of the district throughout the year, yet it provides an opportunity to develop a well-oiled distribution mechanism. The second opportunity is to meet crop water demand in a situation where peak season demand is more than what rain water can supply. Carrying cumulative net deficit rainfall of over 383 mm of past 14 years, ground water use is stretched to meet shortfall in supply. There is a distinct change is rainfall pattern, with a trend of 50% of the year’s ending as rainfall deficit years from a record where it used to be just 14.5%. The district is presently carrying a net deficit of 383 mm rainfall since 2002, with two spells of drought between 2002-04 and 2012 and 2014. The shortfall in meeting crop water demand and cumulative deficit rainfall have left ground water in critical and over exploited state. Basics of Crop Water Management in Semi-Arid Tropics, requires treating Catchment Area to stop and store rain water in the first place and Insitu Moisture management on farmers’ fields to meet complete crop water demand in peak cropping season. The district Irrigation Plan focusses on a paradigm shift to reduce runoffs and develop “Large Scale Deeper Sub-Surface Water Traps” in farm lands. The ii technology to be adopted here are “Soil Ripping” to enhance capillary regions in soil depth up to 4 ft coupled with an intensive “Soil Organic Matter enrichment Programme” with small and marginal farmers as prime focus. The expected impact is that the two complimentary actions will trap 4 times more water in soil than at present and they reduce rain water losses on a large scale. This is our first USP. The critical ground water situation in the entire district is being addressed with an “Accelerated Ground Water Recharge” plan. The plan is to re-use treated sewage water from Bangalore City to fill 44 identified Tanks as a means of recharge ground water in agriculturally critical regions. This plan aims to reduce the deficit rainfall of past 15 years in the long term on a sustainable basis. This is our second USP. Presently around 48% of rainfall is being lost in evaporation, short terms flow in to streams, especially in forest, pasture and barren lands which form 50% of the geographical area. The third USP is to enhance carrying capacity of water bodies and increase “Runoff Stoppers” to ensure maximum storage of rain water and recharge of ground water in excess years. The district is embarking on an ambitious long term plan to “Revive and Rejuvenate five Rivers”. The District Irrigation plan addresses this with a substantial convergence of watershed activities. To be a 100% precision irrigated district in all the farms that use ground water in agriculture is our aim. The expected impact of proposed investment of Rs. 2500 Crores in this plan is reduce ground water exploitation stage from 145% to around 100% in the next five years. All of the USPs are drivers for attaining the objective of “Doubling the Farm Income” by 2020.
