The other activities to accelerate the performance of this indicator are as follows:
Preparation and implementation of the Warabandi schedule is more effective and useful to the
farmers to get water up to tail end reaches

10
Sl. No. Topic Particulars Remarks
Yearly canal management (repairs) before commencement of the cropping season is more useful to
supply water to the farmers
Time to time capacity building to be taken up for the farmers on water management practices by the
WALAMTARI / FTCs / NGOs
The reasons for poor performance of this indicator are as follows:
APWRRC is not in place and hence water entitlements are not getting materialized
58% of farmers not getting water due to implementation barriers of Warabandi and in-sufficient water
in the source
Wastage of water in canal (leakages) is one of the reasons for poor performance of the indicator
The farmers not properly trained on water management practices and promotion of Irrigated Dry (less
water required) crops
Plough back releases are happening normally after rainy season and no proper schedule for release of
the funds for maintenance of the canal system is in place
The suggestions to accelerate the performance of this indicator are as follows:
The capacity building by NGO need to take lead role for facilitation of water management practices by
the farmers
Identify and develop a model WUA (effective implementation for Warabandi schedule) for exposure
and sharing by nearby WUAs
The competent authorities should create encouraging environment for WUAs to implement the
Warabandi schedule effectively and supply of water to the tail end reaches
Arrange exposure visits to model WUAs for the nearby WUAs to show the Warabandi implementation
process

Sl. No. Topic Particulars Remarks
The WUA sub-committees and management committees perform their roles effectively. It will affect
the General Body meeting performance
WUA office availability create healthy environment to conduct General Body meetings on regular
basis
New WUA members are to be trained by WALAMTARI in conducting General Body meeting and WUA
processes. It will improve the efficiency of WUA functioning
On the basis of mid-term survey following observations were reported for poor performances of this
indicator:
WUA members being the farmers who are normally busy in their regular farm work, so they are not
showing interest to attend the General Body meetings
WUA farmers and Executive Committee members are not fully aware of the General Body meeting
process, so they are not attending the meetings regularly
WUA farmers are spread over four to five villages, so it is difficult to assemble at one place without
proper facilitation by the NGOs and the timely communication
When water is not released into the canals the farmers do not show interest to attend the General
Body meetings
The tail end farmers were not showing interest to attend the General Body meetings as they are not
getting adequate water supply
TC members were not interested to attend the GB meetings due to O&M funds are not being released
on time to maintain the canal system
WUAs have no facilities to conduct meeting and maintaining office at WUA headquarters except using
Gram Panchayat Office (GP) temporarily
The suggestions to accelerate the performance of this indicator are as follows:
WUAs capacity building NGOs to take major role to facilitate the WUAs on General Body (GB) meeting
in addition to the regular activities
Orientation on GB meeting process should be completed to all WUA Presidents and TC members
immediately during their incumbency and should be a continuous process
Develop model WUAs on implementation of General Body meetings and to arrange exposure visits to
the nearby WUAs to show the General Body meetings process

12
Sl. No. Topic Particulars Remarks
Exposure visit to the WUAs on General Body meeting process within the state and outside the state
will help in improving in General Body meeting process
Provide basic facilities to members (Office etc,) to assemble and create friendly environment to
conduct GB meetings and other WUA activities

Based on the observations, the following actions required to be taken up to improve the performance
of this indicator:
Effective functioning of WUA meetings means monthly one TC meeting, seasonally one General Body
meeting and farmers participation will improve the performance of WUA
Establishment of WUA office and provision of the minimum facilities for record keeping will be helpful
Identify the animators within the WUA and impart training on book-keeping procedures and keep
them available at the time of WUA meeting to update registers.
Availability of trained facilitator at WUA level for registers updating
Time to time training to the WUAs on registers maintenance and its importance by the WALAMTARI /
FTCs / NGOs
During midterm survey, the following reasons were observed for poor performance of WUAs:
There are no trained facilitators for updating the registers and their maintenance at WUA level
There are no uniform registers available in all the circles as of now, it should be established
The suggestions to accelerate the performance of this indicator are as follows:
For the WUA capacity building, NGO should be involved and help in timely updations of the irrigation
registers for all WUAs with the support of WUA animators and Facilitators including handholding
support to the WUA animators on regular basis
Sharing of experience with member of WUA having good record keeping
Periodic Training of WUAs on irrigation registers updating process

2011-12 Year water was released only Kharif season
2012-13 Water was not released to the crops due to shortage of water in the Dam
The other activities to accelerate the performance of this indicator are as follows:
Conducting Joint Azmoish for Water Tax Assessment with participation of Revenue, Agriculture,
Irrigation and WUA members
Revenue department to collect the assessed amount for the season, but not for targets set by the
department
WUA capacity building NGOs must create more awareness on water tax collections and its usefulness
to the WUA to manage canal system among the farmers
Timely release of plough back amount by the government before the season
The reasons for poor performance of this indicator are as follows:
Water has not been released in the canal due to low rainfall in the catchment area and water shortage
in the Dam
There are discrepancies in tax assessment by the revenue department and irrigation department, as
the joint azmoish sometimes is not done properly
The officials for tax collection have their targets set by the department which is lower than the actual
assessment
The suggestions to accelerate the performance of this indicator are as follows:
There must be coordination between Irrigation, revenue and agriculture departments for conducting
Joint azmoish on regular basis involving farmers also for tax assessment and follow up of water tax
collection on common understanding

14
Sl. No. Topic Particulars Remarks
WUA capacity building NGOs must create more awareness on water tax collections among farmers
and its importance to manage canal system more effectively
The officials of revenue department should encourage the VROs to collect water tax demand along
with arrears in every financial year
Other Activities in Water taxes assessment / joint azmoish
the Institutional Overall 40% of WUAs of NSS have been assessed for the water tax and the Joint Azmoish has not been
Development done for the remaining 60% due to non-release of water from the source during 2012-13
The WUAs, which are in the head reaches took the advantage wherever water was available from the
canals which was released for drinking purposes
However, the Joint Azmoish is mandatory for assessment of water tax and suggested for its effective
implementation in all WUAs of NSP command area for improved water tax assessment
Conflict resolution
During the midterm survey, it has been noticed that the conflict resolution has improved and the
number of conflicts in water distribution has declined after formation of WUAs in the command areas
The members of WUAs have contributed in resolving the conflicts in water distribution
However, 11% of the WUAs have reported disputes - it is reported at 20% in left canal and less than
2% in the right canal area
WUA accounts audit
The majority of the WUAs have not completed the audit process during the financial year 2012-13
On an average, 30% of WUAs have completed the audit process - it is 31% in left canal and 28% in the
right canal command area

* Although the baseline survey report was finalized in 2010, the baseline survey was conducted in 2008-2009. All baseline values therefore refer to this period.
** Though the baseline survey was conducted for the year 2008-09, it was decided earlier that the average of last 10 years crop yields be considered as baseline value
since the year 2008-09 was particularly a very good agriculture year, the yield were on the higher side and if they are compared with the subsequent years values, there
is every possibility of getting a wrong interpretations. Accordingly, the last ten years data has been collected and their average is shown against the baseline value.
*** The crop yields are average of complete districts covered by the NSP. The Director, Directorate of Economics and Statistics has agreed to provide crop yield data for
these crops exclusively for the command area, by conducting crop estimation surveys separately for the project from the year 2013-14 onwards.
