Water Users Association? and Irrigation Management Reform Ill Two Large-Scale Svstems in India Institutions, technology and water control: water users association? and irrigation management reform ill two large-scale svstems in India Vishal Narain Propositions Proposals for reform in Indian canal irrigation need to consider their fit with the design of canal irrigation. This thesis The WUAs that are being formed in the state of Haryana at the moment are essentially arms of the bureaucracy. They are not vibrant, robust, self- governing resource users organisations. This thesis Institutional and technical reform below the outlet is meaningless in the absence of effective management of the main system or control over water supplies. - (Hunt 1989; Wade & Chambers 1980). WUAs are not associations of users of water, but of farmers who use water as an input into agriculture. WUAs would be more enduring if they were structured as multi-purpose organisations that were more central to the lives of their members. Goldensohn (1984) The world has problems. Universities only have departments. - A cynic's view on the need for inter-disciplinary research There is a difference between efficiency and effectiveness. Efficiency means doing more things in less time; effectiveness means doing the right things. - Stephen R Covey Propositions attached to the thesis Institutions, technology and water control: water user associations and irrigation management reform in two large-scale systems in India Vishal Narain Wageningen University, 28 April 2003 Institutions, technology and water control: water users associations and irrigation management reform in two large-scale systems in India Vishal Narain CENTRALE Promotoren: Prof.Dr. F. von BendahBeckmann, Professor of Agrarian Law.

That was when I started thinking about what made a vibrant, robust resource users organisation. Professor Tushaar Shah's notions of swayambhoo, or self-governing, self-replicating organisations left an indelible impact on my mind. This received further consolidation during my experience with TERI, the Tata Energy Research Institute, New Delhi where my exposure to the analysis of water management problems and issues shaped my thinking on the need for local level institutions for water management.

  • District Survey Report for Sustainable Sand Mining Distt. Yamuna Nagar
    DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE SAND MINING DISTT. YAMUNA NAGAR The Boulder, Gravel and Sand are one of the most important construction materials. These minerals are found deposited in river bed as well as adjoining areas. These aggregates of raw materials are used in the highest volume on earth after water. Therefore, it is the need of hour that mining of these aggregates should be carried out in a scientific and environment friendly manner. In an endeavour to achieve the same, District Survey Report, apropos “the Sustainable Sand Mining Guidelines” is being prepared to identify the areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structural and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. 1. Introduction:- Minor Mineral Deposits: 1.1 Yamunanagar district of Haryana is located in north-eastern part of Haryana State and lies between 29° 55' to 30° 31 North latitudes and 77° 00' to 77° 35' East longitudes. The total area is 1756 square kilometers, in which there are 655 villages, 10 towns, 4 tehsils and 2 sub-tehsils. Large part of the district of Yamunanagar is situated in the Shiwalik foothills. The area of Yamuna Nagar district is bounded by the state of Himachal Pradesh in the north, by the state of Uttar Pradesh in the east, in west by Ambala district and south by Karnal and Kurukshetra Districts. 1.2 The district has a sub-tropical continental monsoon climate where we find seasonal rhythm, hot summer, cool winter, unreliable rainfall and immense variation in temperature.

No part of this book may be reproduced or utilised in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, without prior permission from the publisher. Copyright © Strategic Foresight Group 2013 ISBN 978-81-88262-19-9 Design and production by MadderRed Printed at Mail Order Solutions India Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India PREFACE At the superficial level, relations between India and Bangladesh seem to be sailing through troubled waters. The failure to sign the Teesta River Agreement is apparently the most visible example of the failure of reason in the relations between the two countries. What is apparent is often not real. Behind the cacophony of critics, the Governments of the two countries have been working diligently to establish sound foundation for constructive relationship between the two countries. There is a positive momentum. There are also difficulties, but they are surmountable. The reason why the Teesta River Agreement has not been signed is that seasonal variations reduce the flow of the river to less than 1 BCM per month during the lean season. This creates difficulties for the mainly agrarian and poor population of the northern districts of West Bengal province in India and the north-western districts of Bangladesh. There is temptation to argue for maximum allocation of the water flow to secure access to water in the lean season.

In serving this mission, IWMI concentrates on the integration of policies, technologies and management systems to achieve workable solutions to real problems—practical, relevant results in the field of irrigation and water and land resources. The publications in this series cover a wide range of subjects—from computer modeling to experience with water user associations—and vary in content from directly applicable research to more basic studies, on which applied work ultimately depends. Some research reports are narrowly focused, analytical and detailed empirical studies; others are wide-ranging and synthetic overviews of generic problems. Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI’s own staff and Fellows, and by external reviewers. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files.

This chapter emphasises some of the problems of a g ric u ltu re and agro-based industries in Ahmed­ nagar d is t r ic t . 7.2 TalukaMise irrigation sources and imbalance in net irrigated area in the district There are 13 talukas in the Ahmednagar district, some of them were irrig a te d , whereas some were dry.
