1. Introduction
i. Report
Government of Odisha have decided to implement the World Bank
supported Odisha Integrated Irrigation Project for Climate Resilient
Agriculture (OIIPCRA) through the Department of Water Resources (DoWR).
The cost outlay of the project would be Rs. 1,560 Cr (US$ 230.62 Million) out of
which Rs. 1,040 Cr (US$ 161.44 Million) is funded through World Bank
assistance at 70:30 (Centre: State) cost sharing. The period of the project is 6
Years from 2017 to 2022. The project duration after signing of legal agreement
will be 5 Years.
The project will be implemented through the “Odisha Community Tank
Development & Management Society (OCTDMS), a Special Purpose Vehicle
(SPV) created under the Department of Water Resources (DoWR), Government
of Odisha.
The OIIPCRA will be a unique project, which aims at converging the
activities of three departments of the Government i.e. Department of Water
Resources (DoWR), Agriculture and Farmers’ Empowerment (A&FE) and
Fisheries and Animal Resources Development (FARD) Departments for
augmenting the capacity and income of the farmers in the project area through
climate resilient agricultural practices.
A part of the above funds is proposed to be spent for the rehabilitation of
this “Dhemalibandha Minor Irrigation Project” through OIIPCRA as a scheme.
The estimated cost of the rehabilitation comes to Rs. 192.72 Lakh. The
following works are proposed in this report for the rehabilitation of this project:

1. Re-sectioning of Tank Bund

The dam section has been damaged due to rain and other day to day
activity of the villagers. Due to inadequacy of fund the maintenance work
could not be done. Hence it requires Re-sectioning.
2. Reconstruction of Head Regulator:-
Major damage has occurred in the structure & economical repair is not
possible. Hence it is suggested to go for the re-construction of HR .
 2

3. CAD Work:-
Construction of extensive CAD work in the command area up to one-
hector Farm land.
ii. Location of the project
The Dhemalibandha Minor Irrigation Project is situated across a local nala/
valley in Tirida village under Biribatia GP in Beguniapada block of Ganjam
District. The catchment area and the command area of the project are situated
within Rusikulya River basin. The project is geographically located at Latitude
19°37’15.15”North & Longitude 85° 0’46.20”East.
iii. Need for the intervention
a) Stabilisation of designed ayacut
The area receives a good amount of average rain during monsoon to up
to 1067.56mm. The designed reservoir capacity is also observed to be
sufficient for the water demand of the crops of the command. The designed
ayacut of the project is 194Ha in Khariff. As found from the ayacutdars for
statistics of irrigation in the prevailing years, the project is able to provide
irrigation to only about 102 Ha in Khariff leaving a gap in ayacut for 92 Ha
during Khariff. The gap ayacut of 92 Ha in Khariff is dependent on rain with
meagre irrigation from the tank in the years of good rainfall or remains
uncultivated most of the times.
Out of the many deficiencies or disputes like social, managerial or
operational, reduction in the timely inflow to the reservoir, live capacity of the
tank along with the efficiency of the conveyance system/ practice of field
application of irrigation water in the upper reaches, the reservoir & supply
systems need renovation and up gradation for the present needs to restore
irrigation of its designed ayacut. In addition, there is need for a study of the
hydrologic water balance to extend irrigation for the crops during Rabi season.
b) Improvement of irrigation intensity
Improvement in irrigation intensity backed by arrangements for assured
irrigation will create enthusiasm in the water users for agriculture. As from the
discussion with the WUA, the project is continually failing to provide irrigation
 3

to the designated ayacut and people have lost faith to depend on irrigation
from the project. As such, there is need for a study of practice of water use
and find out the deficiencies in it. The study will cover the water availability,
crop-water needs and dependability features according to local climatic
adverse and conclude with a finite result of the irrigation capacity of the
project to prepare a plan of action for raising the irrigation intensity.
c) Identification of shadow areas
There is need for a study of the shadow areas for the failed irrigation
capacity relating to administrative, social conflict, management problems,
infrastructure deficiencies and behavioural aspects etc. to suggest a better
rehabilitation strategy.
A participatory-walk-through has been conducted for this purpose on dt:
1st June ‘2018 with the local sub-divisional engineers and WUA members/
villagers. The village Tirida is near by the project that is dependent on this only
project for their social use. The village is depending on this project for their
daily social use and animals of the village having a population of about 1896 is
also depend on this project. Hence, they are facing shortage of water for
bathing purpose and for animals during dry season.
iv. History of the Original/ improvement if any
This project could not be maintained every year due to shortage
of fund as a result of which the tank bund cross section got reduced, weed
growth in reservoir increased, reservoir and its feeder channel got silted up, the
condition of Head Regulator, its gate & Surplus Escape became unserviceable
over a period of time. The irrigation canal also got silted up. There by the
irrigation efficiency gone down followed by reduction in irrigation capacity.
Because of this reason the economic condition of the farmers gone down. So
there is need of intervention through World Bank Funding. Apart from this
additional arrangements were made for micro irrigation arrangement to
provide Kharif supplementation each and every plot of command area and
Rabi irrigation for low duty crop.
It is reported by the field engineers that Dhemalibandha Minor Irrigation
Project was constructed before independence & transferred to Minor Irrigation
Department from Revenue Department (Beguniapada Block). As information
 4

collected from the local villagers and site engineers that no special
improvement work was taken up since last 5 years. So special attention is
required to be paid for renovation of this project.
v. Salient features of the project
This is a Reservoir irrigation project which is a located in a valley. There is
no defined nala or stream in the catchment area of the project. The command
area of the project is spreading over the Beguniapada blocks in two villages
(Detail villages in Table-5.1).The schematic diagram of the project is depicted
in Annexure-2 and the detailed features are indicated in the Table-1.1.

2. Hydrology/ Design
i. Description of the basin
a. Rainfall:
The run-off in the catchment of the project is influenced by the rainfall
of Beguniapada Block. The average rainfall of 26 years is about
1262.08mm/year with effective rainfall at 856.2 mm/year(Annexure-6).
However, the average monsoon rainfall during last 26 years is recorded to
be 1067.56mm, which is about 84.58%of the yearly rainfall. The 75%
dependable monsoon rain fall is estimated at 794.00mm which is almost
62.91% of the yearly average. The month-wise normal distribution of
rainfall in the area is graphically represented as under in Chart-2.1.Details
in Annexure-10.
It is observed from the last 26 years rainfall data that, the on-set of
monsoon is shifting for about 4.08 days early over the normal on-set
period. A trend of monsoon on-set is furnished graphically in the
Annexure-5/Page-31.
b. Climate information
The area of the project experiences with the mean minimum &
maximum temperature (Chart-2.2) of 22.6°C & 30.9°C respectively during
the months of March & July. The relative humidity (Chart-2.3) in the area
prevails at about from 68% during winter to up to 81 % during rainy
season. The average wind speed (Chart-2.4) observed to be 354 km/day
and the average sunshine hours in the area observed to be 5.90 hours/day.
The average radiation of sun is about 16.6 MJ/sqm/day and the average
ETo observed is 3.74mm/day (Chart-2.5).Details in Annexure-6.
c. Land use & Soil type in the Catchment-Command area

ii. Yield calculations with 75% dependency

As there is no gauge data available for the project site, rainfall records
from IMD data for Gopalpur station and Beguniapada block have been
considered for approximation of the yield. The yield of run-off has been
worked out adopting the AMC condition as per the USDA, SCS curve
number method modified for Indian conditions. The detail daily and 5-day
antecedent rainfall, the 75% dependable rainfall, Soil type, Land Cover &
Land Use in the catchment is worked out as in Annexure-10.The 5-daily
run-off from the catchment have been computed considering the AMC
conditions for a 5-day antecedent rainfall amount, initial abstraction Ia for
wet & dry conditions of the soil for the maximum 5-day antecedent rainfall.
The effective rainfall is computed using following formulae:

Pm x (125-0.2 x Pm)/125 Pm<= 250 mm

125 + 0.1 x Pm Pm> 250 mm

The run-off is estimated using the following method for Indian conditions:
(𝑃−𝐼𝑎)2
𝑄= Where S= (25400/CN)-254
(𝑃−𝐼𝑎+𝑆)

The corresponding yields to the dependable rainfall and antecedent rainfall

& moisture condition have been taken into account for the yield
calculations.
The run-off from the catchment for the 75% dependable rainfall
computed to be 1.586MCM for the Khariff season and for the year. The
detail computation of run-off yield is in the Annexure-6/Page-2.
iii. Cropping pattern (Existing/proposed)
The normal cropping in the command area is Paddy in Khariff and
Groundnut /pulses during Rabi season. Out of the total command area,
about 100% of the land remains unused/ uncultivated during Rabi as there
is no assured irrigation available.
 11

The Block-wise/ village-wise cropping practice and the possibilities of

crop-diversification as per the general cultural practices of the farming
societies in the locality in the total command area are tabulated as under.
The present water use for the crops has been discussed with the users
and it is seen that, the water use has not been documented but it is
estimated to be much more than the requirement. Due to this over use of
water without any estimate of field requirement and non-functioning of
some canal structures, the irrigated command is reduced at present and
some of the command area is being deprived of the required amount of
irrigation.
No area being cultivated during Rabi and proposal has been made to
raise the area up to 56.18% of the total command area.

iv. Calculation of Crop water requirement
The crop-water requirements have been computed considering the
climate data of the metrological station at Gopalpur. The requirement of
irrigation supplement is computed basing on the cropping pattern proposed
in the above tables. The crop-water requirement for medium paddy,
groundnut and pulses is considered at 22.35 inches, 20.00 inches & 10.00
inches respectively. The dependable rainfall is then deducted to get the
irrigation supplementation for the crop.
It is proposed to use ground water in irrigation in conjunction with
reservoir water. To achieve the total ayacut under irrigation, a reservoir-
working table involving conjunctive use of ground water is developed. In
this system, the head regulator is operated to maintain the reservoir water
level at FRL and at the periods of shortage of supply from reservoir while
maintaining the reservoir at FRL, ground water is supplemented for
irrigation. This process is adopted to have full reservoir at the end of Khariff.
The total reservoir water available at the end of Khariff would be provided
for Rabi irrigation in extending the ayacut of Rabi irrigation area, which was
previously no Rabi irrigation.
It is estimated that, the supplementation through irrigation comes to be
218.78mm for paddy after compensating for the effective rain of 562.90
mm. A water balance study for irrigation with conjunctive use of ground
water is prepared which, shows for the paddy crop of 194Ha during Khariff,
the irrigation water requirement computed to 0.467MCM and for the light
duty crop of 109 Ha proposed during Rabi, the irrigation water requirement
computed to 0.225MCM.
The detail computation of Crop-water requirement is enclosed at
Annexure-7. The irrigation water requirement and water balance through
conjunctive use is proposed as under.

v. Mass curve for Fixation of Storage capacity or Stage

The mass curve of the reservoir shows the maximum live capacity of the
reservoir to be 6.40Ha.m. The water available for irrigation from the
reservoir through reservoir routing (working table) is annexed. There is
spilling of water from reservoir for 1.057 MCM. The maximum spill of flow
is seen during the month of September for 0.136 MCM. (Details at
Annexure-10)
vi. Water balance study for % utilisation
The objective of water use in the project envisaged to reduce the use
of surface water (reservoir stock) during khariff and the saved water in the
reservoir to be utilized for Rabi crops. The water that is being lost as surplus
due to insufficient capacity of the reservoir is proposed to be routed to
irrigation during Khariff season keeping the reservoir at FRL all times. Crops
are chosen basing on the average rate of discharge of water over the
surplus. The deficit in any period would have been met by providing Ground
water in conjunction with surplus water from reservoir. The water stored at
 14

the end of Khariff in the reservoir shall be used for Rabi irrigation. This
would increase the intensity of irrigation during Rabi.
A water balance study for irrigation with conjunctive use of ground
water is prepared to save as much as of the reservoir water and use
groundwater. The analysis of this reservoir operation through conjunctive
use of water is shown as under:
The crop-water analysis for utilisation of water shows that, the water
available from the catchment at the point of collection during Khariff season
to be 1.586 MCM and the irrigation demand depending on the 75%
dependable rainfall for 194Ha in Khariff (194 Ha of Paddy) and 109 Ha in
Rabi (9 Ha of Groundnut & 100Ha of Pulses) comes to 0.499MCM. The
evaporation loss computed to 0.031 MCM. The reservoir-working table
shows it could provide water during the irrigation demand for only
0.225MCM, which necessitates that, an amount of 0.193MCM to be
extracted from ground water to meet the periods of shortage in water
requirement.
vii. Recharge of ground water extracted for irrigation
The ground water potential and trend from the years 1998 to 2018 in
different periods of a year viz at Pre-Monsoon, Mid of Monsoon, and Post-
Monsoon and during winter is shown in the Chart-12.1. It depicts that, the
trend of ground water table is rising to the ground level from 5.23 m to as
low as 4.04 m during Winter periods. The ground water table is away from
ground level during pre-monsoon period. The ground water table are No
Change from ground level during Mid-monsoon & Post-monsoon period.
The average ground water table is at 2.22m during monsoon and 4.04m
during non-monsoon periods. The annual ground water potential available
in Beguniapada block is known to be 0.217MCM (Source: State Ground
Water Board, Odisha).

As the ground water potential and levels of its availability inferred to be

utilised for irrigation during the shortage of irrigation water from the
reservoir and raise the irrigation potential of the project during Rabi season.
 15

However, in this regard, question was also raised to verify the need for
recharge conditions of ground water to be extracted for use in irrigation.
The above aspect was tested for whether there is a need for recharging the
ground water to maintain the ground water table at a reasonable level
when it is extracted for use in irrigation. A computation of recharge to
ground water by the project components is furnished in Annexure-12/
Page-2. This result shows that an amount of 0.217MCM/Annum of water is
being recharged annually through the existing project components. The
water being proposed to be extracted & utilised for irrigation comes to
0.193MCM, which is 88.59% of the quantity of recharge by the project.

iii. Details of Canal system, Canal Structures (Length/ Nos)

The record available on the design of the canal shows that, duty for the
design of the canal has been considered at 900 Ha per cumec. The canal is
constructed as earthen channel with design parameters fixed as per Pillai chart.
The existing canal is running on contours/ridge line with structures constructed
out of stone masonry.

It is found that, CC lining for 235 m already exist from the head where as
remaining 175 m is unlined out of a total canal length of 410 m of main canal.
There is only one outlet structure in this canal. However a list of structures and
their status is tabulated as under:

iv. Control mechanism/ Special instruments if any

There is no control system or special instruments fixed in the project.
However, pre-moulded flow-measuring CTF one may be installed in the main
canal at the head reach.
v. Status of CAD planning/ Work if any
No CAD work is developed previously in the command area. It is proposed
to develop CAD network for the total command area of the project to about
1.0 Ha of sub-command and accordingly estimates have been prepared. The
detail CAD development map for the command area is attached at Annexure-
11.
vi. Additional arrangements for tail-end irrigation (if any)
Area under Rabi crops are not developed in the command due to
insufficient irrigation supply to the tail end due to many reasons. The farmers
in the head reach are using the lean base flow, which is being available and
arranged some alternate sources of water for their minor rabi crops.
It is proposed to develop the Rabi command for about 109 Ha partly
supplemented through conjunctive use of ground water. Accordingly, a
proposal to install ground water pumping stations and increase conjunctive use
for irrigation in the tail end command is envisaged. The detail proposal for
ground water pumping station and connectivity & distribution layout in the
project command for irrigation is attached at Annexure-12.
vii. Conjunctive Water Use Planning
It is observed that, the highest possible area of irrigation supply through
the reservoir is 194.00 Ha in Khariff and 109 Ha during Rabi with quantity of
spilling from reservoir @1.057MCM annually.
It is proposed to use the ground water and restrict the use of reservoir
water during Khariff. The reservoir is to be maintained at FRL at all times by
 18

restricting the irrigation supply from the reservoir and supplement with ground
water for the periods of shortfall in irrigation. It is observed that, the full
reservoir water remained at the end of khariff along with conjunctive use of
ground water can be managed for 109 Ha of Rabi irrigation in the project. The
reservoir-working table for this operation is attached at page-10 in the
Annexure-10. It is estimated that, about 19.27Ha.m of ground water needs to
be supplemented for the Rabi crop @ 1.49Ha.m of 5-day maximum drawl.
Proposals to install ground water pumping stations with detail connectivity
& distribution layout in the project command for irrigation is attached at
Annexure-12.
The maximum drawal of ground water during this period comes to
2981.20Cum/ day which require installation of 35 Nos. of 03 HP solar pumps
for 20m suction head having discharge rate of 99.00 cum/ day.
4. Cost Estimate of Improvement
i. Provisioning of costs
The estimates have been prepared basing on the Odisha Schedule of Rates
2018 and Analysis of Rates 2006 of the Works Department of Odisha. The
general lead of the Construction materials has been proposed as per the
departmental approved quarry map.

The estimated cost of the rehabilitation of civil works comes to Rs. 192.72
lakhs. The supporting estimates and analysis of the cost is presented in the
annexure in the section “Cost Estimates”.
5. Benefits
i. Calculation of Benefit-Cost Ratio and IRR
The benefits of specific civil work intervention is indirectly been computed
considering the irrigation potential that has been extended over the prevailing
status. A micro level analysis of the optimum irrigation potential for a
diversification in the cropping and irrigation management is furnished at
Annexure-10. It is observed that, after improvement of the project, it will
provide irrigation to its designed ayacut for 194 Ha during Khariff and 109 ha
 19

during Rabi as against no designed ayacut during Rabi. The reservoir

management and conjunctive use of ground water for the spells of water
shortage from the reservoir is creating the additional irrigation potential.

The crop-diversion along with the use of available water in conjunction of

ground water is estimated to provide irrigation potential of 303 Ha (194 ha
Khariff + 109 Ha Rabi) with 156.18% rise in the irrigation intensity over
designed ayacut.

The detail computations of Benefit-Cost ratio and Internal Rate of Return

(IRR) for the proposed investment on the rehabilitation of civil works come to
1.50 and 16.71% respectively and are enclosed at Annexure-9.
ii. Village –wise area to be irrigated
According to the analysis of the data collected from the project
authorities, the designed command area of 194Ha comes under Tirida village/
settlements. The project after improvement would provide irrigation to 194Ha
in this village during Khariff and 109Ha during Rabi. The village-wise area to
be irrigated is furnished in the Table 5.1.
