WATER MANAGEMENT

Description of How the Physical Water Distribution System Operates Water is shared among branch canals using propotionate divider. In rainy season, for Rice crop the water in the source is sufficient for all.In winter and summer, rotational irrigation has to be practiced.

Description of How Farmers Share the Water Among Themselves In rainy season for rice crop , sufficient water for all and no rotation has to be practiced. In winter and summer , rotational irrigation for selected crops and selected area is practiced.All the farmers cannot grow same crop in total area they own but have to practice crops in some portion of their land depending the available water for irrigation.

Desciption of Field Application Methods Being Used Wild flooding is practiced here also but potatoes, furrow irrigation is practiced. Here , sprinkler irrigation is difficult because of non availability of head but drip irrigation can be practiced in limited area for suitable crops.

Observations on WUA Organisation, Rules, Regulations and Conflict Resolution There is no any written rules & regulations formulated so far . Users run the system as per the tradition but interact with all concerned before taking any vital decision . They try to reach concensus in major issues related to canal and water management. If any conflict/ misunderstanding occur, they resolve it by interaction and discussion among water users before it is too late. The . WUA meeting is need based and required to run once every month.. There is no any office room hired or building constructed.

Observations on WUA Organisation of Operation and Maintenance (see also Annex F) It is observed that WUA organization is seen active (Chairperson is extremely busy or he is lawyer) and work is almost completed. ISF plan is recently prepared but to apply this they need intensive training on operation and maintenance so that they can solve all those problems which can emerge in community. WUA can mobilise to users/farmers to retain operators and maintenance. And Found good solidarity of community.

IRRIGATION SERVICE FEE COLLECTION PLAN Irrigation and Water Resources Management Project (Additional Funding)

O & M Cost and ISF Collection Plan

Subproject: Ratgain District: Dang Construction Start: F/y 2071/72 Finish: F/Y 072/73

1. Salient Features of Subproject Infrastructure:

Name of Size / No Critical Features regarding O&M Canal/Structure Side intake Boulder extraction from U/S and D/S of intake which can harm intake and water in lean period may vanish.

Lined canal Adequate in size.

2. Summary of Engineer's Estimate for O & M Cost and ISF Rate:

See attached spread sheets(Tables A, C, D & F) for details:

a) Engineer’s estimate of overall O&M cost 493,060 NPR

b) Estimated non‐ISF income of WUA (excluding labor contributions) 60,900NPR

c) Additional funds required by WUA through ISF to meet O&M costs = (a – b) =432,160 NPR

d) Equivalent rate per ha for ISF 873.05 NPR/ha

3. WUA's Agreed O&M Budget and ISF Rate:

Detailsof budget agreed with WUA, based on their past experience and summarized in the attached spreadsheet (Tables A, F, G & H). a) Agreed Overall O&M budget (including deposits for emergency repairs) 264,900NPR

b) Estimated non‐ISF income of WUA (excluding labor contributions) 60,900 NPR

c) Additional funds required by WUA through ISF to meet O&M costs ( = a – b) 204,000NPR

d) Equivalent rate per ha for ISF 412 NPR/ha

e) Available records, if any, of ISF collection in recent years.non

NPR ‘000 Est. Value of Total Year Balance at ISF Total Balance at Labour/Kind Amount Start of Year rate(NPR/ha) Expenditure End of Year Contribution Collected

4. Recommended Annual ISF Collection Rate

ISF Rate (NPR/ha) Currently Recommended transition from Existing Collection Rate Engineer’s collected by to Engineer’s Estimated Rate Estimate WUA 2073‐74 2074‐75 2075‐76 2076‐77 2077‐78 2078‐79 873.05 300 500 600 700 873.05 873.05

In the beginning WUA may not agree collect ISF as per engineer's estimate and should be suggested during discussion to increase ISF rate gradually to meet within 4‐ 5 years so that the surplus amount will be helpful at the time of heavy damage if any in future and also they can benefit from bank interest.

5. ISF Collection Plan as per WUA:

Give details as per discussion with WUA, based on the following checklist.

a) Timing of payments (before/after harvest). After harvest

b) Has a person responsible for ISF collection been appointed yet? (Y/N) No, Dhalpa themselves

c) Will the person responsible for ISF collection be remunerated in any way? No 6. Financial Management by WUA
