EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The impact study has been conducted following the standard practice to best meet the objectives and scope of the works. This study has been carried out to determine the impact observed in five different sub-projects area after implementation of the Surface Irrigation and Rehabilitation Sub-Projects under the original scope of IWRMP. These five sub-projects were selected based on the variation in their command area, geography and topography. The main objectives of this study were to assess the impact outcomes of the project on target group farmers for sustainable agriculture development through surface irrigation system; evaluate the sub-projects regarding whether targets were met or not in- terms of area of irrigated land, production and productivity of crops, overall social benefit from agriculture production, the social impact and existing institutional arrangement. Similarly, this study asserts on the recommendation to improve the present situation of the project area and the lesson learned for the future project to conduct similar kind of intervention.

The studied Sub –Projects in Western Region are Dhakmaar in Mustang, Polyangtar in Kaski, Chundikhola in Tanahu, Motipur Kadwa in Rupandehi and Tamsariya Baruwa in Nawalparasi. While, the command area of these sub-projects varies from minimum of 29 hectare to maximum of 1500 hectare, they also represent the three ecological belts of Nepal- Mountain, Hill and Terai.

Various documents and reports were reviewed during the study like Baseline Study report, Project appraisal document, Detail feasibility study report and present status of project activities. Consultant has used various tool and techniques to assess the impact, and fulfill the set objective. Tools used during the study were field observation, inventory survey of canal system and major structures with Global Positioning System (GPS) demarcation, sample household survey using pre-structured questionnaire, focused group discussion and key informant interviews. Both qualitative and quantitative data has been collected and analyzed to assess the impact of Surface irrigation in the agriculture performance within the study area.

The impact study of five irrigation sub project implemented under original scope of IWRMP in western region includes the Canal System and major structures, socio economic aspect, agricultural aspect, organizational arrangement aspect, water allocation and distribution, adequacy of support services for project enhancement, impacts of subproject, Farmers perception and satisfaction towards the project, the sustainability aspect and impact evaluation based on project key monitoring and evaluation indicators.

Final Report- Impact Study of Component-A Surface Irrigation and Rehabilitation Sub-Projects in Western Region Implemented under Original Scope of IWRMP

The inventory of major structures with demarcation in GPS has been carried out during field survey and transformed into Geographic Information System (GIS) and finally GIS Map has been prepared showing the command area, canal systems, and various structures constructed during project intervention.

Respondents for interviews were so selected so that they represent all reaches of the command area i.e. head, middle and tail. In average there are 32.41 % respondents from head, 33.64% of respondents from middle, and 33.95% from tail part of command area. The average male respondents were 60.19% and rest 39.81% were female respondents. 92.28% of respondents belong to age group 15-60 years and rest 7.72% is above 60 years old.

The average household size of the project areas under study is 6.28, while male: female population composition is 57.33% and 42.67% respectively. The average literacy rate is around 85.19%. Ethnically, the population is composed of 47.22% Janjatis, 46.6% Brahmins, 4.63% Dalits and 1.54% other castes. Similarly, 96.3% of populations are Hindus followed by 3.09% Buddhists and few Muslims and Christians.

Though majority (74.38%) of total population of the five project areas depend on agriculture for their income sources, average food sufficiency of the area is only 78.40%. The remaining population is involved in service sector (13.58%) and business (12.04%). The total annual average income of the subprojects shows that Tamsariya Baduwa ISP has the largest annual income and Dhakmaar ISP has the lowest. On-farm income is largely generated from the food grains (69.31%), livestock (23.9%) and horticulture (6.79%). Off-farm incomes are generated from various classes of services, labor, pension, rent received, business and remittance. The average of on-farm income is NRs.38437.96, and that of off-farm income is NRs.67552.47. On the other hand, average annual expenditure of the respondent farmers on an average reaches NRs. 75194.40. Major portion of the annual expenditure of the respondents' farmers are incurred in agricultural products (25.65%), education (21.51%), clothes (17.42%), and health (10.35%).

The average land size of the studied area is 0.62 ha, higher than national average farm size of 0.5 ha. The farm land holding size can be broadly classified into 4 categories; 0 ha (0.62%), below 0.5 ha (47.84 %), 0.5 to 1 ha (39.2%) and above 1 ha (12.35%).

Increased in cropping intensity has been set as key indicator by the Project Appraisal Document (PAD). It is one of the core measures to justify the investment to be made for the irrigation infrastructure. In an average, cropping intensity of the sub-project area has increased from 167.46 % to 218.60%. Above 95% respondent farmers from Polyangtar, Chundikhola, Motipur Khadwa and Tamsariya Baruwa cultivate their land during the monsoon season, while winter crop-coverage reaches in an average of

Final Report- Impact Study of Component-A Surface Irrigation and Rehabilitation Sub-Projects in Western Region Implemented under Original Scope of IWRMP

84%. Though farmers are motivated to cultivate land in all season due to irrigation facility and inputs, spring crop coverage is still below 50%. Basically the cropping pattern adopted by the farmers within the study area is paddy – wheat/ potato/ mustard/ pulses - Maize. The scenario is different in Dhakmaar ISP, where farmers cultivate their land only in spring season.

Agricultural operations in the study area are primarily dependent on human labor using manual farm tools and draft animals. Basically, in hilly and mountainous region i.e. Dhakmaar, Polyangtaar and Chundikhola ISP, farming practices are still in traditional form, using bullock plough, and without threshers or tillers. Whereas, in Motipur and Tamsariya ISP, bullocks are being replaced by tractor operated tillers and threshers. In an average more than 90% of farmers used Power tiller/Tractor and Thresher. Survey also showed significant reduction (recognized by 96.3% of respondents) in women drudgery after the project intervention.

After the intervention of irrigation facilities in the sub-project areas, average crop yield of paddy has increased from 2.75 mt/ha to 3.86 mt/ha. Similarly, the average yield of wheat, maize and potato has increased to 2.85 mt/ha, 2.94 mt/ha and 11.18 mt/ha respectively. But, in Dhakmaar ISP, Mustang the yield of buck wheat remains unchanged at 1.5 mt/ha.

The Organizational arrangement aspect of the studied irrigation subprojects under IWRMP-OS in Western Development Region (WDR) has been assessed broadly under two sub-headings i.e. existing institutional arrangement and perception of beneficiary farmers towards present management system. The existing institutional arrangement has been examined on the basis of WUA registration, WUA office, WUA membership, bank account opening, WUA by laws and regulation landholding list and conduction of regular meetings. Similarly perception of beneficiary farmers toward existing WUA and executives also observed during field surveys.

In the studied five sub project, all WUAs are registered in respective division offices. Two of them have their WUA office i.e. in Motipur and Tamsariya ISP. WUAs have distributed and maintaind WUA memberships to all the beneficiary farmers in all sub projects except Motipur ISP. All five ISP have their bank accounts. All the subprojects conduct election for WUA executive committee members. All the subprojects have provision of regular meetings.

The perception of farmers towards the functioning of their WUAs is categorized based on their perceived satisfaction level as very highly satisfied, highly satisfied, moderate satisfaction, acceptable and not satisfied. About 50.61% farmers are moderately satisfied with their WUAs. Only 4.65% farmers have high satisfaction with WUA activities, while 16.97% farmers are not satisfied with the performance of existing WUA.

Final Report- Impact Study of Component-A Surface Irrigation and Rehabilitation Sub-Projects in Western Region Implemented under Original Scope of IWRMP

All five ISP have WUA By Laws and Regulation in written form. But, none of the ISP has mechanism of conflict resolution. These subprojects do not have the system of formulation of annual operation and maintenance plan; however canal operation and delivery scheduling is done on adhoc basis. Only Motipur ISP has appointed water guard for water distribution and control.

The farm inputs like seeds and fertilizers are readily available in the sub-project area. But, supports from the GO/NGO/INGO side are negligible. Few WUAs have received trainings on crop management and WUA management from their respective irrigation Offices but they are also deprived of trainings on soil and water management, exposure trainings and visits.

In an average around 94.14% of people have perceived increase in their house hold income due to increase in agriculture production. 78.70% of farmers have increased their expenditure on education for their children, while 15.12% and 1.5% farmers have increased their expenditure shares on health activities and purchase of durable goods respectively.

The impact in terms of water availability has been assessed in terms of water availability at all the reaches i.e. head, middle and tail end of the command area and emphasis was given to observe the improvement of water availability at tail end after rehabilitation of irrigation sub projects. According to the survey, 87.04% of respondents observed improvement in water availability. 64.55% of respondent from tail reaches perceived positive improvement in water availability.

Consultant conducted survey on farmer's satisfaction regarding the subprojects. The satisfaction is categorized into five groups namely very high satisfaction, high satisfaction, moderate satisfaction, acceptable and no satisfaction. It is found that the majority (52.78%) of respondents are moderately satisfied with the subproject. 5.25% respondents are highly satisfied and 16.05% are not satisfied with the project.

The sustainability aspect of the Subproject is picturized on the basis of Farmers participation in canal operation and maintenance, ISF Fee Collection, ISF rate, Annual Expenditure. It was found out that all the farmers of the study area have been involved in canal operation and maintenance. In Dhakmaar there was no provision of ISF, whereas all other subprojects has provision of ISF.

Consultant assessed the annual expenditure in terms of Cash and Kind incurred for the operation and maintenance of the canal system. Canal maintenance is carried out by voluntary labour contribution and WUA seek monetary funds from other sources i.e. no cash is collected for the purpose of canal maintenance. Unlikely, in Motipur ISP, a part of collected ISF is paid to the water guards they have recruited for canal operation.

Final Report- Impact Study of Component-A Surface Irrigation and Rehabilitation Sub-Projects in Western Region Implemented under Original Scope of IWRMP

Impact evaluation is based on the project outcome indicators like improved irrigation, agricultural productivity, irrigated area (ha), cropping intensity (%), Percentage of tail enders reporting to improved water availability, percentage of WUA formally constituted and holding regular meeting together, percentage of WUA's collecting water charges required for adequate operation and maintenance, percent of WUA maintaining adequate account and cash register.

For the improved irrigation agricultural productivity the percentage increase in paddy, wheat, maize, and potato are 33.1, 42.5, 40.0, and 11.8 respectively. Percentage of WUAs formally constituted and holding regular meetings is 100, Percent of WUAs collecting water charges required for adequate operation and maintenance is 80, and Percent of WUAs maintaining appropriate account and cash register is also 100. The results of comparative study between the baseline data and present data collected in 2017 showed comparative increase in percentage. However, for percentage increase in agricultural productivity and Percent of WUAs collecting water charges required for adequate operation and maintenance couldn’t meet with the 2018 target set for the project.

The major issues and concerns expressed by the beneficiary farmers on the performance of the system are inadequate irrigation facility, lack of timely repair and maintenance, leaking main and distribution system etc. In addition, farmers also criticized against inadequate budget for repair and maintenance, lack of coordination between WUA and other support agency and lack of training to beneficiary farmers, and inadequacy of support services in terms of agricultural inputs.

Based on present study, it is recommended to give attention towards agriculture inputs delivery in the sub-project areas, develop mechanism of emergency maintenance fund and continue empowerment process of WUA even after completion of irrigation sub project.

CHAPTER 1- INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Agriculture is the main stay of the Nepalese Economy. It contributes about one-third of the country’s GDP and involves about two-thirds of its population. To raise the living standard of the people, it is evident that the improvement in agricultural is inevitable. To increase the agricultural production, in turn, the use of various inputs such as improved seeds, fertilizers, irrigation etc. are essential. Nepal has to modernize essentially in the agricultural fields of technology. Of the all factors of agricultural productivity, irrigation plays the vital role. Nepal has 2.64 million hectares (ha) of cultivable land and 66% of this land, i.e. 1.76 million ha, is irrigable. Around 60% of the irrigable land has some kind of irrigation facility, and less than one-third has round-the-year irrigation. The irrigated agriculture provides about 40 percent of the total food production of the country. Thus Irrigation has been established as the prime contributor for improved agricultural production establishing sustainable agriculture practice.

Realizing the importance of irrigation as means of agricultural production Government of Nepal (GoN) has been investing its resources not only in the construction of irrigation facilities but also to operate and maintain the system after their completion. The irrigation systems range from farmer managed small scale irrigation to larger scale surface systems and from individual shallow tube wells to community groundwater schemes. Its ultimate aim is to provide year round irrigation facilities and increase the irrigable area of the country to higher limits. Thus giving primary input in increasing land productivity and providing a major input to the GDP and eventually improve the living standards of the beneficiaries’ farmers.

Irrigation and Water Resource Management Project (IWRMP) under Original scope was implemented through F/Y 2064/65 to 2069/70 under the loan support from World Bank (WB) in 40 districts of Western, Mid-Western and Far-Western Development Region with an aim of reducing poverty and increasing agriculture production. Nine ground water sub-projects were undertaken and completed under original scope and those are now in operation.

In this context, IWRMP Office of the Project Directorate intends to carry out impact study of Different Irrigation Sub-Project located in Western Region, comprising all the three ecological belts and categories of subprojects, which was implemented under Original scope of IWRMP and has entrusted to Mannings Consult (P) Ltd to perform the study work. This Final Report is the job of consultant’s covering impact

1.2 Objective and Scope of the Study

The main objective of the impact study to be earned out is to assess the impact outcomes of the project on target group farmers for sustainable agriculture development through surface irrigation system. On the basis of these points, the proposed task is specifically based on the following objectives:

 Prepare the canal systems (main canal, branch canals and command area) map with GPS survey and evaluate the performance of existing systems. The overall output was carried out based on field survey and using GPS/GIS tools.  Evaluation of the sub-project regarding whether targets were met or not in-terms of area of irrigated land, production and productivity of crops, overall social benefit from agriculture production and  Fact findings about – The change in cropping intensity and productivity of crops as result of irrigation and improved agricultural practices. – The improvement in living standards of Water User Groups (WUGs) and beneficiaries after the project. – The adequacy of support service for project farmers and the attitude of beneficiaries towards project – The social impact (actual number of households benefitted, participation and involvement of women, poor families and under privileged ethnicity, water users groups etc.) – The existing institutional arrangement in management of the irrigation system – Other relevant information if any.

1.3 Significance of the Study The real effectiveness of the project design and strategies, policy, system and project impact cannot be properly evaluated without impact evaluation to understand how the project has succeed in achieving its defined goals and objectives, and providing the optimum benefits to the beneficiary groups. Especially impact evaluation gives transparency of pros and cons of the projects. It also aids to bring effectiveness in designing and formulating the forth-coming projects.

1.5 Limitation of the study At the given time and resources, the study has some limitations over the collection of data/information as well as over the analysis of the information. The limitations of this study are given as below:

● This evaluation is based on limited samples of different categories of project stakeholders due to time and resource constraint and might not be truly representing the actual beneficiaries.

● People are not aware about their financial transaction; and understate their level of income and overstate the level of expenditure.

● The analysis is mainly focused on comparing the changes on different aspects like socio -economic, agricultural and other aspects that have been brought in the system by the intervention of irrigation projects.

● Since the study was carried out in monsoon season, farmers are reluctant to provide information as they were busy in farming activities. Besides this field work was carried out during festive season in some Irrigation sub projects, famers were not really supportive in the questionnaires due to their festive feeling.

4.1 Project Description

Dhakmaar ISP, Mustang

The Dhakmaar Irrigation Sub-project is the sub-project requested by farmers. It lies in Ghami VDC-8 & 9 of Mustang district. This is a rehabilitation irrigation project funded under original scope of IWRMP. The proposed project lies in higher Himalaya zone. This zone has been a food deficit area historically, due to mono crop cultivation system, low rainfall and inaccessible conventional transport facilities. Irrigation system has become an integral part of their life due to these hardships. The elevation of intake level is 4000 meter from mean sea level. The proposed command area of this project mainly consists of leveled terraces. Its slope ranges from 5 to 20 degrees with sufficient soil depth and is suitable for irrigated agriculture. Currently, farmers grow wheat, buckwheat, potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

The Dhakmaar ISP consists of two canal system: Upper and Lower system, from different water sources in order to irrigate the entire command area of 91 hectare. The lower canal system is approximately 1.8 km long irrigating 46 hectare of command area from the Chekya River. Similarly, the source of upper canal system is Mulunga River; the canal is approximately 1.2 km long irrigating 45 ha of gross command area.

Polyangtar ISP, Kaski

The Polyangtar Irrigation Sub-Project was implemented under IWRMP-OS in Western region of Nepal. It provides irrigation facility to 110 ha of cultivable land in Chhapakha, Polyangtar, Siddha VDC-9 of Kaski district. The main source of the water lies near Kamalkote and Archale villages. This project was a rehabilitation project which involved lining of canals, regarding and reshaping of the structures. This irrigation canal is approximately 5.8 km in length out of which approx 40% was lined by the project.

4.10. Sustainability Aspects

In general terms, sustainability is the ability of systems and processes to withstand for a longer period of times. Sustainability can also be defined as a socio-ecological process characterized by the pursuit of a common ideal. Nowadays, the term sustainability is widely used in development sector. When viewed through the sustainability concept, irrigation sub project can be called as sustainable only if its WUA can operate the system regularly without any external support and deliver the sufficient water up to the tail end.

The sustainability aspect of the Subproject is studied under the term of farmers’ participation in canal O&M, ISF fee collection, ISF rate and annual expenditure.

4.10.1. Participation in O&M

Information of farmers' participation in O & M has been assessed through farmer’s response during questionnaire survey. It was found out that all the farmers of the study area were involved in canal operation and maintenance. (Table 62, Figure 59)

4.10.2. ISF Rate and ISF Collection

The ISF collection is positive and has different rates for different ISPs. In Dhakmaar, there is no provision of ISF whereas; all other subprojects have provision of ISF. (Table 63-64, Figure 60)

4.10.3. Annual Expenditure

Consultant assessed the annual expenditure in terms of cash and voluntary labor for the O&M of the canal system. It was found that wage is paid to water guard only in Motipur Kadwa ISP. Other remaining subprojects have significant contribution to O& M in the form of voluntary labor. (Table 65)

Table 65: Annual Expenditure SN Sub Projects Annual Expenditure Cash Kind 1 Dhakmaar ISP 145000 2 Polyangtar ISP 264000 3 Chundikhola ISP 170000 4 Motipur Kadwa ISP 16000 1056800 5 Tamsariya Baruwa ISP 216000 Although there is sufficient participation for operation and maintenance in irrigation sub project .But, Due to recurrent flood and landslides had resulted damage on intake and main canal in all the irrigation sub projects except Motipur ISP. The farmers are not able to maintain and repair the canal and irrigation structures on their own and require help from donor agencies in this aspect. This has also been one of the major concerns of respondent farmers of the study area. Without emergency support from external agency it is difficult for any studied ISPs to be self-sustaining. Proper and timely maintenance of major failures has also been one of reason for inefficiency of the Irrigation project.

4.11. Impact Evaluation Based on Project Key M& E Indicators

Impact evaluation based on the project outcome indicators are targeted agricultural productivity of major crops from improved irrigation facility attributed to the project. These indicators were collected from the sub-projects, and were evaluated with respect to the baseline indicators. The project key outcome indicators used various parameters like improved irrigation agricultural productivity, irrigated area (ha), cropping intensity (%), percent of tail end farmers reporting to improved water availability, percent of WUA formally constituted and holding regular meeting together, percent of WUA's collecting water charges required for adequate operation and maintenance, and percent of WUA maintaining adequate account and cash register. The current results of project key M& E indicators compared with baseline data are as shown bellows; (Table 66)

As seen from the table, for paddy the increase in yield is 33.1% compared to the baseline data and this increase is higher than the target of 2018 by 1.6%.

Similarly for wheat, maize and potato, the increase in yield was 42.5%, 40% and 11.8% respectively. This data when compared to the target of 2018 lagged by 10.9%, 18.3% and 30.1% respectively.

For cropping intensity, the increase is 30.1% compared to the baseline data, this result however is lagging by 0.6% compared to the target set for 2018.

The percentage of tail end farmers reporting to improved water availability is increased by 64.5% and is higher than the target by 7.6%. Similarly, percentage of WUAs formally constituted and holding regular meetings is 100% with full target achievement. Also, for the percent of WUAs collecting water charges required for adequate operation and maintenance has increased by 80% compared to the baseline data. However, this achievement is lagging by 20% compared to the target set for 2018. Finally the percent of WUA maintaining appropriate account and cash register is 100% with full target achievement set for 2018.

CHAPTER 5- CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1. Conclusions

The impact study has been conducted following the standard practice to best meet the objective and scope of the work. This study was carried out in five ISPs of the Western Development Region which were selected on the basis of their command area, topography and geographical variation. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analyzed for the assessment of impact of selected irrigation sub-projects focusing on physical, institutional, socio-economic and agricultural aspects of each sub-projects under study.

Consultant prepared the canal systems (main canal, branch canals and command area) map with GPS survey and evaluated the performance of existing systems. The overall output was calculated based on field survey and using GPS/GIS tools.

Cropping intensity and productivity of crops due to intervention in irrigation facilities and consequent agricultural practices have significantly improved but the target is yet to be fulfilled. Water availability at tail ends has increased significantly. Cropping intensity, at present, stands at 218.6%, while spring crop coverage is still below 50%. The trend of farm mechanization is improving in terai as compared with that in hill and mountain regions. Women dredgery has been significantly reduced.

Assessment of the existing institutional arrangement in the management of irrigation systems indicated that the institutional development is in progressive path. Only around 50% of the beneficiary farmers are moderately satisfied with the performance of their respective WUAs. This indicates that the WUAs need to be more strengthened so that their roles toward the management of irrigation system become more effective. So, institutional strengthening activities need continuation even after the completion of sub-project. In addition, support services related to agriculture inputs, marketing and credit facilities are not adequate in the project area. Hence, co-ordination activities between different stakeholders are yet to be conducted to improve pre and post agriculture processes.

The intervention of irrigation sub project has positive impacts on socio-economic condition of beneficiary farmers. The improvement in irrigation facility has increased agricultural production and hence, the income of families. So, the investments on education and health of family members have also increased.

The farmer’s participation in operation and maintenance is highly satisfactory. Most of the farmers collect ISF and also contribute their labor for operation and maintenance of irrigation system. For the emergency

maintenance to response the disasters caused by natural calamities like flood and landslides, the maintenance is beyond the capacity of WUA both interms of financial and technical aspects and are compelled to seek the emergency supports from external agencies.

The satisfaction level of beneficiary farmers towards their respective sub-projects is quite acceptable. About 52% of the respondents are moderately satisfied with their projects. So, this also creates a wide scope for improving the project implementation plan and strategies in the future similar projects.

5.2. Recommendations

 Regular monitoring of the project area should be carried out from Irrigation development divisions as well as the IWRMP to facilitate regular interactions between the WUA, farmers and the government regarding the needs and objectives of the project.  It is essential to develop the projects in integrated approach with different concerning stakeholders with their professional inputs for best performance. At present, major efforts have been incurred in improving the physical infrastrutures of the irrigation systems. Though the water availability has been significantly improved, post agriculture works have been lagging behind. Farmers require supports for improved seed varieties, marketing and financial facilities. The projects can be made more effective by incorporating the roles of agriculture research organization and micro-finance organizations.  The reliability of irrigation facilities has increased the productivity and crop diversification. However; farming practice is not much improved from their traditional practices. Efforts should be done to convert the present subsistence farming into commercial farming technologies. Additional focus shoud be given to encourage farmers towards farming through mechanization e.g use of farm machines, improved farming methods like SRI in paddy etc.  WUAs in different levels should be made accountable and functional on their duties, responsibility and authorities. The project should provide the trainings, awareness campaign, and Information Communication and Services (ICS) materials to WUA and beneficiaries. The project should provide the technical guidance, facilitating role and frequent dialogues with the WUAs for sustainable operation of the system.  Different trainings conducted before and after project intervention should be demand driven than imposed core technical package trainings. The emphasis should be given to the farmer’s perspective.  Success stories as well as lessons learnt from these projects should be well documented so that they can be implemented in other similar areas.  WUAs should be encouraged to develop themselves into co-operatives wherever possible, to ensure the continuation of the institutional activities even after completion of the sub-projects.  Low interest credit for farmers is important for development of agriculture enterprise. So, policy should be made for mechanism of development bank and micro credit to facilitate farmers of project area for agriculture enterprise development.

 Provision of Basket fund at central level should be made instead of maintenance from different stakeholders in the same project; the DOI should mobilize this fund as matching fund to the WUA for emergency maintenance of different irrigation projects. The matching fund should be based on collected ISF and priorities should be given to WUAs which have higher rate of ISF collection. These techniques might be fruitful to motivate WUA towards ISF collection.
