Command Area Development & Water Management (CAD&WM) Programme

Objective

Command Area Development and Water

Management (CADWM) programme, a Centrally

Sponsored Plan Scheme is being implemented in to

the state since 1976-77 with the main objective of

reducing the gap between irrigation potential

created and that utilized. The programme aims at

enhancing agricultural production and productivity

in irrigated commands by judicious and equitable

distribution of the available irrigation water with

active involvement of farmers through participatory

irrigation management(PIM).

Aims & Objectives

i. To bridge the gap between irrigation

potential created & utilized.

ii. To ensure timely and equitable distribution

of irrigation water in the command.

iii. To enhance the irrigated area by means of

efficient water management.

iv. To boost agriculture production and

productivity in the command.

v. To involve the beneficiary farmers at grass

roots level for management of water

resources through Participatory Irrigation

Management (PIM) & organization of Pani

Panchayat.

Programme Coverage

The CADWM programme is being executed

in major and medium irrigation projects. So far,

twenty six (26) major and medium irrigation

projects have been taken up under this programme.

By end of March 2017, CAD activities in fifteen

(15) projects namely Salandi Left, Pitamahal, Talsara,

Salia, Kuanria, Kansbahal, Salki, Daha, Hirakud,

Gohira, Remal, Sunei, Rameiala, Upper Kolab &

Jayamangal were completed. At present, the

programme is being implemented in 08 Major

Irrigation Projects & 04 Medium Irrigation Projects.

Out of the total CCA of 11.15 La.ha (AIBP-

10.77 la.ha + RKVY-0.40 la. Ha) taken up under

CADWM programme, 8.69 La.Ha (AIBP-8.39 la.ha.

+RKVY-0.31 La.ha) have been covered with field

channels and 2.55 lakh ha covered under field drain

by March-2017. The CADWM programme is

implemented in 26 Districts. There are 3 Command

Area Development & Water Management

Authorities (CADWMA) in the State located at

Cuttack, Sambalpur and Berhampur to carry out

the field execution programme in the following

ongoing irrigation commands.

Programme Components

Topographical survey

Topographical survey is carried out

departmentally by the technical staff in the total

Command Area of the Project for fixing alignment

for construction of Field Channel, Field Drains. The

beneficiaries on the basis of alignment voluntarily

contribute the required land through the Pani

Panchayats.

Construction of Field channel

Field channel is the core component under

CADWM Programme. The field channels facilitate

in carrying out water from out lets of minors,

distributaries etc. up to tail end at very short time

preventing loss of seepage in agricultural land. This

helps in rotational water supply in judicious manner

to each field to achieve higher production.

Construction of Field drain

Field drains help in draining out surplus

water from the agricultural land to main and trunk

drain. This prevents water logging in the crop field

by which higher productivity is achieved and it

helps in taking up cash crops after draining out the

excess water from the field.

Reclamation of Waterlogged and Saline Lands

Due to continious irrigation and seepage of

canals vast tracks of crop land in the proejct

command area suffers from water logging and

salinity problems. To reclaim these waterlogged

and saline areas in the irrigated commands, surface

drainage as well as sub surface drainage systems

are developed alongwith the option of bio-drainage

at suitable locations. By this process, excess canal

water is drained out through appropriate network

of link drains which ultimately empty into a

permanent out fall point.

Farmers Training

Training camps are organized in villages to

educate the farmers on water management and

crop management. This is important activity for

educating the farmers to adopt modern

technologies for achieving higher production with

regulated water supply.

Crop Demonstration

Demonstrations are carried out on the

farmers’ field to show them practically, how to

adopt suitable cropping pattern and use of balanced

dose of inputs with proper management of

available water.

Correction of System Deficiencies

Most of the irrigation projects have been

operating much below their potential due to

shortage of funds for operation and maintenance

(O&M) related activities such as cleaning of channels

by de-silting and weeding, raising earthwork in

embankments or dressing the slide slopes to the

design standard, strengthening of banks in filling

sections, restoring bed-gradients and lining in

vulnerable section etc.


Role of Pani Panchayats

Participation of farmers and execution ofCAD works through the Pani Panchayts is a pre-requisite for CADWM programme as per Govt.of India norms. Under the Command AreaDevelopment programme, the execution of fieldchannel and field drains are taken up solely bythe concerned Pani Panchayats with thesupervision of the technical personnel of CADorganization. The Pani Panchayat plays a key rolein motivating the farmers and are involved in landdonation and beneficiary contribution in shapeof labour (10% in construction of field channel andreclamation of waterlogged areas). The PaniPanchayats take keen interest in maintaining thequality of work. As the farmers are directlyassociated with the work during execution, they

feel that the work belongs to them and is theirproperty. After execution, the same have beenhanded over to concerned Pani Panchayat foroperation and maintenance. On an average about500 Pani Panchayats are being involved in variousactivities under the programme every year.

Programme Status

The achievement during 2016-17, is 59675ha.-Field Channel, 12094 ha.-Field Drain, 2625 Ha.-Crop Demonstration and 239 nos of FarmersTraining is 97%.
