FOR OFICIAL USE ONLY DIA NARRASETrRACIOOPOSITE IRRIGATIOS III PROJECT CREDIT AND PROJECT SUNKARY Borrower: India, acting by its President (GOI). Beneficiay: Government of Maharashtra (Gol). Amount: IDA Credit SDR 166.4 million (US$160 million equivalent). Terms: Standard. Project Description: The project would encompass two command areas: Jayakwadi (200,000 ha) and Najalgaon (100,000 ha). The main components for Jayakwadi would be: (i) completionof irrigationsystems on about 45,500ha; (ii) completionof main drains,link drains,and rural roads on about 153,000ha; (iii) constructionof field channels,drains, and structureson about 68,000ha and field-channelprotection on about 102,000 ha; (iv) landshaping of about 128,000ha; (v) developmentof three SpeciallyDeveloped Distributories (SDDs) on about 7,300ha; and (vi) technicalsupport to farmers. For MaLjalgaon, the project would include: (i) constructing116 cAnAl regula- tion structures;(ii) constructionof Majalgaonmain canal from km 67 to km 100; (iii)construction of the distributionsystem up to the 1-cusecoutlet in an area of about 57,000ha; (iv) constructionof main and secondarydrainage and road networkson about 24,000ha; (v) on-farmdevelopments and landshapingof about 24,000 ha; (vi) developmentof a MajalgaonSDD on 4,000 ha; and (vii) technicalsupport to farmers. Other investmentswould include: (i) equipmentfor landshapingand telecomnunication;(ii) monitoringand evaluation,(iii) extensionservice; (iii) technicaland agriculturalextension and researchsupport; and (iv) training, studies,study tours and consultingservices. The projectwould increaseagricultural production and farmers' income in the two IThsdocume bs a regsijzd disftion and maybe usedby nreients onlyin t n of thL oici duis. Its musmay nt otese be dislosed wih WoddBank auoxizaion. I- comunds. To minimize the risks that farmer response might not be adequate, or that yield levels might be lower than anticipated, the project provides for landshaping and for system operation methods which will ensure that all farmers, including tail-enders, will obtain a reliable water supvly. In addition, the project focuses on increasing agricul- tural productivity, especially through the SDDs', technical support to farmers, research and development, and monitoring and evaluation. The combined effects of these activities should result in a high return per unit of water and high level of farmers' participation.
