CHAPTER - 1
PHYSICAL PERSONALITY OF SINDHUDURG DISTRICT
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Agriculture, the most important primary economic activity, is closely related
to physical environment, particularly relief, climate and soils. In any scientific and
viable inquiry into agricultural phenomena, therefore, it is prerequisite to pay
attention to the basic relation between these physical determinants and agriculture
(Singh and Dhillon, 1994). However, the physical environment plays significant role
in determining the development of agricultural productivity i.e. heterogeneous
environmental conditions lead to diversified nature of agriculture which further
manifests into variations in agricultural productivity. Thus, physical set up of the
region governs the agrarian structure of the region. An elaborate account of the
physical setting is presented in the present chapter from the viewpoint of a
geographer, particularly as the base for the superimposition of agricultural
productivity on the physical environmental aspects. McHarg (1966) on the basis of
principles of ecological determinism has shown how nature can impose limits,
provide guidelines and assist man in solving environmental planning problems in a
manner which is most compatible with natural problems. Hence, efforts need to be
made to qualify the environmental attributes to meet future ecological planning,
modification and adjustment. Although natural factors are far from explaining
everything slope, soil, climate and hydrological conditions have very important
effects on the cultivation of crops and preference of a particular agricultural system.
In Sindhudurg district, the meteorological factors mainly, temperature and rainfall,
are more important as like terrain.

1.2 LOCATION
Sindhudurg District is situated between North 15° 37° to 16° 40° latitudes and East
73° 19°to 74° 13°longitudes. It is bordered by Arabian sea on the west, Sahyadri hill
ranges and Kolhapur district on the east, Ratnagiri district on the north, Goa state on
the south and Belgaum district of Karnataka state on the south east. The geographical
area of the district is 503950 ha. The topography of the district is as per the Konkan
pattern it can be divided into three Sub-regions. The western coastal strip having
width of 20 to 80 km which is traversed by creek hills known as khalati. The eastern
portion covered by Sahyadri range and its offshoots known as Sahyadri strip and in
between there is a strip of small plateaus and flat land known as Valati, All the three
sub regions are in the north south direction. Width of the middle portion of land is 25
km and that of Sahyadri hill range is 15 to 25 km.
1.3 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Sindhudurg District is the Southern part of the greater track which is known as
the 'Konkan' which is historically famous for its long coastline and safe harbours.
Sindhudurg District was a part of the Ratnagiri district, but for administrative
convenience and industrial and agricultural development, Ratnagiri district was
divided into two districts viz. Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg with effect from 1st May
1981. Sindhudurg District now comprises the tahsils of Devgad, Kudal, Kankavli,
Sawantwadi, Vengurla, Malvan carved out from Ratnagiri district and the new tahsil
of Vaibhavwadi created by transfer of 53 villages from Bavada tahsil of Kolhapur
district. A new tahsil Dodmarg is created by bifurcating Sawantwadi tahsil.
Sindhudurgnagari at Oros Bk. is the district headquarter of Sindhudurg. The name of
the district has been adopted from the famous sea fort of Sindhudurg which was built
by Chhatrapati Shivaji near Malvan and it literally means 'Sea Fort'.

1.4 PHYSIOGRAPHY
Physiography is one of the dominant parameter of physical environment and
its impact on patterns and density of agriculture is immense (Chouhan T. S., 87).
Agriculture in mountains, plateaus and plains is different from scarps, pediments
valleys, flanks, flood plains ridges, alluvial flanks, drumlins, levees and dunes.
The relief features are essentially the product of geological past, the
nature of geological composition mantle (Deshpande C. D., 1971). A number of small
bands of crushed conglomerate are noticed especially between Niwati village and
Malvan town (Sahsrabuddhe Y. S.). Relief of the land influences land use,
particularly through the elevation, ruggedness and slope. Relief also influences
farming by modifying climate and by affecting the ease of cultivation (Singh, 1974).
The relief varies remarkably from place to place and the broad and relief changes are
seen in the west-east direction with local variations. These variations in land are due
to the geographical evolution (Deshpande C. D., 1971).
Konkan zone of Maharashtra state especially is the important physiographic
unit. Sindhudurg district is broadly divided into three small sub-divisions based on
the elevation and local topography.
i) The main Sahyadri with its their plateau scarps and hilly buttresses (Hilly
Sahyadri Region)
ii) The low level lateritic plateau (the Central zone or Valati)
iii) The riverine and estuarine leveled surfaces. (Coastal zone or Khalati).
1.4.1 The Sahyadri Region
The eastern part of Sindhudurg district is covered by Sahyadri Mountain range.
Its coverage height is above 450m. The hilly region covered 208349 hectares, it means
41.34 percent of geographical area of the district. Many spurs and saddles occur in the
area. The Songad, Manohargad, Ranganagad, Pargad are the important forts on
6 | P a g e
Sahyadri range. This region is extended into north-south direction having steep
slopes, occupied by spurs and saddles. Manohargad, Mansantoshgad and
Mahadevgad are the important peaks near Amboli pass east of Sawantwadi town.
Prassiddahgad or Rangana Fort north of Sawantwadi. Kupicha dongar near village
Walaval and in the west are the isolated hills near Vagheri. There are seven chief
passes crossing Sahyadri range and Dodamarg in Sawantwadi (now Dodamarg)
limits, two of them the Amboli ghat and the Ramghat suitable for carts and five
others namely Ghotge, Ranagana, Hanmant, Talkat and Mangeli are suitable only for
foot passengers and pack cattle. Amboli pass about 30 kms. east of Sawantwadi town
has a motorable road. It is close to and nearly on the same old parpoli pass. The Ram
pass is located about 46 kms. east of Banda.
1.4.2 Central Zone or Valati
The central zone or the transitional belt covers the middle part of the region.
This plateau region covers 183623 hectares area which is 36.43% of total geographical
area of the district. The central zone which is covered by small hills and ridges having
height above 150 meters to 450 meters from the sea level. It includes western parts of
the Kankavali, Kudal and Sawantwadi tahsils and eastern parts of the Devgad and
Malvan tahsils. This part is locally known as 'Valati'. The general slope of the zone is
from east to west and it is formed by denudation of the rocks. The sub region is well
traversed by the north-south road and rail links.
1.4.3 Coastal Zone or Khalati
The coastal strip characterized by lowlands, shoreline, terraces, sand dunes,
cliffs, numerous sandy pockets, beaches, tidal inlets, creeks and estuaries shows a
great amount of variability, and has occupied 1,11,978 hectares and 22.23 % of the
total geographical area of the district
Narrow, flat and low shoreline terraces covered with a thin apron of coastal
alluvium borders the tidal inlets. This zone, which lies on the west of the central
transitional belt is associated with lowlands on Arabian sea coast. Small hills and
7 | P a g e
lowlands cover the western part of Devgad, Malvan and Vengurla tahsils. The
elevation of the area is below 150 meters and is formed by alluvial soil, which is
fertile, locally called, 'Khalati Soil'. Cliff formed by wave action and there is a great
variety of shore marks between 2 mts. to 10 meters above sea level. The tidal basins
are a series of small flat plains.
1.5 DRAINAGE PATTERN
Drainage is one of the most important component of physical environment
which influences the agriculture directly as well as indirectly. Drainage is a
comprehensive expression in geography. It includes surface as well as ground water.
1.5.1 Rivers
Direction of flow of the rivers in the district is from east to west in general. The
rivers are useful for the agricultural development but they are mostly dry in Summer
season. However in monsoon season most of the rivers are flooded.
i) Devgad river
Devgad River rises in the Sivgad pass. After a comparatively straight course of
about 56km. from east to west reaches the sea at the fort of Devgad which forms the
southern headland about 19km. south of Vijaydurg fort. Several small islands have
been formed in the bed of the river in its tidal section.
ii) Achare River
It is a small river taking its name from the village on its left bank. It rises in a
spur of Sahyadri range near the Phonda pass. It has a southwesterly course of rather
less than 47 km. to the sea. The entrance to the river is narrow. It lies about 22km.
south of Devgad.
iii) Kalaval River
The river Kalaval rises in the Naradave pass near Bhairvgad. It receives the
waters of a tributary stream, called Gad River. It takes a southwesterly course passing
through Ramgad on the right and Masure on the left. It reaches the sea in a small bay
8 | P a g e
4.5km. north of Malvan town. The river has least agricultural relevance although it is
valuable from local navigational point of view. There are chief ferries between
Masure and Bhagvntgad, Kalaval and Hadi and Sarjekot and Talashil.
iv) Karli River
Karli river rises at the village of Shivapur on the sahyadri hills to the north of
Manohargad, after a south-westerly course of about 56 km. falls into the sea. The
main stream of Bel and Hateri join Karli river near the village of Anav, about 30 km.
from its source. Some sub streams of this river provide considerable fertile land
yielding two crops a year and in patches covered with garden and groves. There are
some small islands in its bed and ferries of Nerur, Sarambal, Walaval, Chendvan and
Kavthi.
v) Terekhol River
River Terekhol is also called as Banda River. It rises in the Sahyadri to the
south of Manohargad near the villages of Sangeli, Insuli, Banda, Kas, Satose,
Kavthani and Aronde. The river Terekhol has no important tributaries, but many
mountain streams join the river. During the rainy season it becomes a very formidable
river. For the rest of the year it is in many places fordable at low tide. Near Aronde
there are four smaller islands viz. Dhonk, Karambal, Jagad and Narayandurg.
vi) Talavde River
River Talavade rises at Vajarat. It drains the villages Hodavde, Talavde and
Matond and falls into the sea of Mochemad near Vengurle town.
vii) Tillari River River Tillari also called the Kudasi, rises at the Ram pass, twice crosses the great Imperial military road from Belgaum to Vengurle and enters into Goa territory at Maneri.
viii) Kalane River
River Kalane takes its rise at the Talkat pass close to Ram pass and crosses the
road at Kalane and it drains into the territory of Goa gate.
9 | P a g e
There are number of other small streams, which in the rainy season, owing to
the heavy rainfall and the nearness of the Sahyadri, suddenly swell into considerable
sizes and are difficult and dangerous to cross.
The eastern escarpment is deeply eroded by the swift flowing rivers because
of the intensive furrowing. There is a succession of drainage amphitheatres with the
residual hills intervening. One who visits Phonda and Amboli passes can see the
contrasting landscapes to the west and east of these places. To the west, there is
youthful topography whereas to the east there is gentle undulating topography
showing a stage of maturity. Due to erosion, the western scarp itself is retreating
eastward and hence there are several phenomena of river capture from the tributaries
of the rivers in the plateau areas (Padmanabham N.)
All the main rivers emerge from the eastern scarp margin of the district and run
parallel to each other from east to west till they met the Arabian sea forming broad
creeks at their mouths. The important creeks from North to South are the creeks of
Vijaydurg, Devgad, Achare, Kalavali, Kolamb, Karli, and Terekhol.
In general, there are some seasonal rivers, which are small in length and are
active with flow of water in monsoon season. They act as outflow drainage channels
for the rainwater. These rivers get dry in summer season. However, drainage is one of
the most important physical environment which affects agriculture directly and
indirectly.
1.5.2. LAKES
Dhamapur and Pendur lakes are the important lakes in Malvan tahsil. Dhamapur
lake covers an area of about 22 hectares with a maximum depth 12mt. Maharashtra
Tourism Development Corporation (M.T.D.C.) has developed this lake as a tourism
spot. Pendur Lake covers an area of 21 hectares having maximum depth of 4mt.
Moti Talav is the largest lake at the centre of Sawantwadi town. It covers an area
of 12 hectares, and the average depth is between 2mt. to 3mts. The lake side is an
10 | P a g e
evening rendezvous for the people in the town. Other four important lakes in the
vicinity are located at the villages viz. Zarap, Mangaon, Bambarde and Matond.
1.5.3. GROUND WATER
Ground water is often called underground water which occurs below the surface
of the earth. Level of ground water is important from the viewpoint of agriculture.
The rise in water-table in any season may be a fluctuating phenomenon of a short
duration. The groundwater is mostly tapped from percolation in wells and springs.
Direction of groundwater flow is from east to west. Natural springs are observed in
Bazarwadi, Pimpalwadi, Morgaon and Amboli in Vaibhavwadi, Devgad and
Dodamarg tahsils respectively.
1.6 RAINFALL
Rainfall as the primary ecological parameter has created a variety of farming
enterprises, types or systems in the world. It is dominant single weather element
influencing the intensity and location of farming system and the farmer's choice. It
also becomes a climatic hazard to farming when it is characterized with scantiness,
concentration, intensity, variability and unreliability. Thus variations in rainfall
characteristics affect agriculture as a whole. Moisture conditions affected to the
stages of crops at sowing, germination, shooting, stalking and heading, maturing,
harvesting and threshing. It is all the more important in the minimal regions, here
average or normal rainfall is generally necessary for successful crop production. In
such areas, the system of crop production must be correlated more or less to the
moisture factor (Klages, 1958).
The co-efficient of rainfall variation for the district is calculated based on the
data for 25 years. One may note some leading variations from the normal occurrence
of the rainfall in terms of daily fall and intensity.
11 | P a g e
i) The commencement of monsoon varies from the first to even the last week
of June. The annual and monthly rainfall varies considerable.
ii) Daily rainfall amount varies considerably within the same month.
iii) There are frequent dry spells.
iv) There is a possibility of total rain failure. No wonder that these rainfall
characteristics deeply influence the traditional agriculture, which is
dependent on rainfall in the absence of irrigation facilities. (Tawade,1976).
The rainy season is due to the south-western monsoon, that is June to
September.
1.6.2 Intensity of Rainfall
Rainfall Intensity of the rain- storms is not always the same.
i) Uniform intensity pattern type - the rainfall intensity remain nearly
constant throughout the rain spell.
ii) Advanced pattern - The rainfall intensity reaches its peak value suddenly
and then intensity decreases slowly by step till it becomes zero.
iii) Delayed pattern - The rainfall intensity reaches it takes its peak value and
thereafter sometime the intensity suddenly reaches zero value.
iv) Intermediate Pattern - The rainfall intensity is the combination of
advanced and delayed pattern.
Rainfall intensity is important as it determines the intensity of soil erosion.
The term 'intensity' refers to the rate at which rain falls in a 24 hours period. It is
calculated by employing the following formula used by Monkhouse and Wilkinson
(1971).
A I = ------- N Where,
I = Intensity of Rainfall
A = Annual Rainfall
12 | P a g e
n = Number of rainy days.
The intensity of rainfall is increases from the coastal area towards the hilly
region, i.e. from west to east.
1.7 SOILS
Soils are important natural resource. They not only form the base for
agriculture and sustain forests and pasture land but also provide the material for brick
making and other industrial activities. Soils provide essential material on which
agriculture is based and therefore any comprehensive survey of the geography of
agriculture, should include a fairly good treatment of soils. Even at the beginning of
his work on political geography, Ratzel made a statement of great significance and
insight that every nation is a bit of soil and humanity (Quoted by Klages 1958).
Therefore, no student of civilization can afford to forget even for an instant the
crucial importance of soils. These are the source of practically the entire stock of
man's food, clothing and ever increasing list of other needs. So that man gets nearly
all of his food from the soils, less than one per cent of what he eats being fish. Of the
long list of natures gifts to man, productive soils and water are the most basic to
human life. Upper layer of soils has an average thickness of between 15cm. to 20cm.
depending upon local conditions.
The agricultural significance of soils also depends on climatic conditions. In
areas of heavy rainfall, loss of nutrients through leaching can be offset only by heavy
inputs of lime and fertilizers which place a considerable strain on farmers resources
(Coppock, 1971). Soils constitute the most important basic resource for agriculture
(Bennet, 1955). Besides climatic consideration, the texture and depth of soil, its
ingredients, salinity or alkalinity status, drainage conditions and the position of
ground water table all go to determine the crops which would be suitable for an area
and the mode and extent of irrigation to be applied to them (Government of India,
1976). The study of soils of a region including the mechanical and chemical properties
13 | P a g e
and process of formation is essential for understanding its agricultural land use and
production dynamics (Sharma T.C., 1999).
i) Lateritic Soil
The lateritic soils are highly infertile. These are the soils developed on laterite,
which is itself derived from the basalt trap. They are composed of a little clay and
much gravel of red sandstone rocks. Although there is no agreement among soil
scientists as regards the origin of laterite, it is widely accepted that the process of
laterization conditions. The lateric soils are as a rule, very poor in phosphoric acid
which is the most important plant food. Due to heavy rainfall the base is leached
away along with the silicic acid and hence the residual rock material is acidic and
contains high proportion of iron and aluminum oxide. These oxides lend the red color
that is so typical of these soils
The lateritic soil is the predominant soil in the district. Extensive spreads of
lateritics are noticed throughout the district. Regionally these lateritic soils gets
mixed with trappean soils in the hilly areas while along the coast they form of banks
of loams mixed with alluvium and sand. They vary in color from red to brownish red,
owing to the preponderance of hydrated iron oxides. They are fairly well supplied
with nitrogen and organic matter. Their texture is loamy. They are porous and not
moisture retentive. The acidity and porosity on these soils have posed a problem for
the agricultural development. These soils are found in several grades, the main being
rice soils and varkas soils. Both these soils are available on the slopes of the hills.
Paddy, the principal crop of the district grows in these soils and more than 50 per cent
of the area is under this crop. The balance land is traditionally cultivated for ragi,
vari, nagli etc. but this practice is being abandoned and there is a definite shift
towards horticultural crops in the recent years. The district is famous for its mango
fruits especially the world renowned 'Alphonso'. There has been rapid increase in the
area varkas soil being brought under plantations. Entire landscape is also covered
14 | P a g e
with Coconut, Kokum, Arecanut and Jackfruit trees which thrive well in these soils
and climate. Spices like black pepper and other pulses are also cultivated.
ii) Alluvial Soil
Soils depend almost entirely on the character of the bed rock. The
Sindhudurg alluvial deposits are formed by the sea as well as the rivers but neither is
significant in extent. The shell beds along the north side of Malvan and Devgad
estuaries belong to coastal alluvial. This soil is found in the river valley region and in
river basins. It is fertile soil and is generally used for paddy cultivation.
Coastal alluvial soils or 'pulanvat' lands with coarse sandy loam, support
vegetables, coconuts and banana. On the whole it can be said that the soils are
influenced by the climate, physiographic and forest .
iii) Coastal Saline Soil
The coastal saline soils are situated on the flat, leveled land near the sea
usually along the creeks which penetrates into the coastal alluvium at several places
in both the broad zones. The saline soils are formed due to the deposition of silt from
the sea or from lands reclaimed from the sea and are usually flat, clay to clay loam in
reddish or yellow grey in color. Locally these marshy soils are known as 'Khar' or
'Khajan lands constituting the problem soils requiring protection, improvement and
reclamation.

LITERATURE REVIEW PMKSY
Water is central component for the survival of life, and without it plant and
animal life would not be possible. Water is a central component of Earth's system,
providing important controls on the world's weather and climate. Water is also central
to our economic well-being, supporting agriculture, forestry, navigation, waste
processing, and hydroelectricity. Recreation and tourism are other primary uses
supported by water. The crisis about water resources development and management
arises in Sindhudurg District, Maharashtra state mostly because of the following
a) The disproportionate availability of utilizable water.
b) It is characterized by its highly uneven spatial distribution.
Accordingly, the importance of water has been recognized in the Maharashtra
state and greater emphasis is being laid on its economic use and better management.
Although the water in the dams, lakes and reservoirs represents a relatively small
percentage of total available water on earth, dams are used as a reliable source of
drinking water supply mainly for irrigation.
Water availability in the dams is an important source of agricultural water
need, power generation and recreation. Changes in the water levels are because of
temporal variation of inflow to the existing dams. These changes mainly reflect
changes in rainfall, evapotranspiration (ET), infiltration, runoff and human activities
over the catchment area. It is observed that these fluctuations constitute a sensitive
indicator of past and present climate and human activity changes at a local and
regional scale.
Groundwater Recharge/Depletion
Ground water resources may be termed as subsurface hydrosphere resources. It
includes all waters below land surface and in the saturation zone that are in direct
contact with soil or grounds .With the increasing demand of water due to population
18 | P a g e
growth and resulting increase in agricultural and economic activities, groundwater
extraction is increasing at a very fast pace, resulting in rapidly lowering of water table
year after year. Due to this situation, infiltration and further percolation are
increasing, making less contribution of base flow to the surface flow and thereby
reducing the surface runoff.
Due to excessive pumped withdrawal of groundwater and corresponding
negligible recharge by natural process the groundwater is steadily dropping. In these
circumstances, results (Solis et al. 2011) show that groundwater banking can
significantly improve water management in the basin, increasing system storage,
improving water supply for users in the basin, and enhancing compliance with the
treaty obligations. Since the 1970s, groundwater banking studies have considered the
economic and the hydraulic feasibility of storing water in aquifers in wet periods and
recovering it later in dry periods.
The development of groundwater banks requires the assessment of
hydrogeology and water quality, legal and financial issue, as well as proper water
planning and management.
Intensive use of groundwater resources for agricultural production is proving
to be catastrophic in many arid and semiarid regions of the world, including some
developed countries like Spain, Mexico, Australia, and parts of US, and developing
countries like India, China and Pakistan etc.
Total (761BCM) and agricultural (688 BCM) water withdrawals in India are
highest in the world. More than half of the irrigation requirements of India are met
from groundwater, and number of mechanized bore wells in India have increased
from 1 million in 1960 to more than 20 million in 2000. A recent ground water
depletion study in the northwestern Indian states of Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan is
illustrative of common regional groundwater depletion problem in India.
19 | P a g e
Irrigated Agriculture:
India has the largest irrigated agriculture with 65 million ha net irrigated area
(21 million ha through surface and 44 million ha through groundwater) India's canal
systems are designed to mobilize and move around 300 billion cubic meter (BCM) of
water annually in a normal year providing about 15,000 cubic meter (150 cm) per ha.
Whereas, 300 BCM of groundwater pumping from 44 million ha land indicates that
water utilization per ha in uplands is about 6800 m3 (i.e., 68 cm) (Shah, 2011) which
clearly points out the gross inefficient use of water in surface irrigation schemes as
compared to the groundwater irrigated areas.
The Government of India's huge investments in water resources development
since independence has helped the country to become self-sufficient in food
production. However, the irrigated area expansion is not in tune with the rate of
capital investments made in this field. The performance of public funded irrigation
projects is continually declining over the years due to systemic maintenance issues,
inefficient delivery systems as well as inefficient management at field level. Serious
issues are arising due to the existence of huge disparity in water access and utilization
among head and tail end users, which has resulted in the over exploitation of
groundwater, thus declining the groundwater table in the canal irrigated areas as well.
Further, an increased cost of cultivation and soil salinity results in unsustainable
agriculture in such irrigated areas. Moreover, the storage capacity of most of the large
and medium capacity reservoirs has declined (both live and dead storage capacity) by
20-30% over the years due to the excessive siltation leading to less water availability.
In addition, the individual farmers have made huge private investments for
developing and using groundwater resources, significantly enhancing the irrigated
areas. Innovations in pumping technology along with free or subsidized power supply
has accelerated the groundwater extraction, resulting in overexploitation and
declining groundwater resources to unsustainable levels in many parts of the country.
In irrigated areas, the farmer's have switched over to high water requiring and
20 | P a g e
economically remunerative crops and intensive cultivation. These unsustainable
practices are threatening agriculture and food security in the country. The latest
reports from the GRACE Mission of NASA showed continued groundwater decline
of 4.0+/- 1.0 cm/yr, equivalent height of water (17.7645 km3/yr) over the Indian states
of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi. During the study period of August 2002 to
October 2008, the groundwater depletion was equivalent to a net loss of 109 km3 of
water in northwest India. Such high rates of groundwater exploitation has increased
the percentage of 'unsafe' districts from 9% to 30% in a span of nine years between
1995 and 2004 (Vijay Shankar and Kulkarni, 2011) thereby reducing well-being,
particularly for the poorest members of society (Anantha, 2013).
For enhancing the water use efficiency (WUE) and minimizing the
unproductive evaporation loss of water, the government has promoted micro
irrigation (MI) systems using sprinklers and drip as key demand management
interventions for water saving purposes. Properly designed and managed MI systems
can save up to 40% to 80% of water through increased WUE up to 100% when
compared to a mere 30-40% of water under the conventional surface irrigation system
. Large scale investments by the government and private individuals on the use of
micro-irrigation especially in horticulture and high-value crops has benefited large
numbers of farmers across the region in terms of water saving, enhancing crop
productivity, increased area under irrigation, improved income and livelihoods. In
India, total potential area coverage under MI is about 44 million ha through
groundwater resources. Out of this, about 30 million ha area is suitable for sprinkler
irrigation for crops like cereals, pulses, and oilseeds in addition to fodder crops. This
is followed by drip irrigation with a potential of around 12 million ha under cotton,
sugarcane, fruits and vegetables, spices and some pulse crops like pigeon pea, etc.
The percentage of actual area against the potential area estimated under drip irrigation
in different states ranges from negligible in Nagaland to as much as 50% in undivided
Andhra Pradesh (presently Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra state), followed by
21 | P a g e
Maharashtra (43%), and Tamil Nadu with 24%. In case of sprinkler irrigation, the
percentage of actual area against the potential area estimated was as lower as 0.01%
(Bihar) and the highest was 52% (Andhra Pradesh). Compared to the potential of 42
million ha in the country, area under MI during 2011 accounted only 3.87 million ha
(1.42 million ha under drip and 2.44 million ha under sprinkler) which is about 9.16%
of the entire potential, which shows huge scope to harness the full potential. Along
with technological innovation, infrastructure development, institutional arrangement,
and right water policy are needed to scale-up suitable interventions, which can bridge
the demand-supply gap.
In spite of a huge potential to adopt and harness benefits from MI, the rate of
adoption of MI technology is still low in the country. Only a few states like
Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu have adopted significant
areas under micro-irrigation. The poor adoption is attributed to number of factors
such as high cost, complexity of the technology, and other socio-economic issues
such as lack of access to credit facilities, fragmented landholdings, localized crop
pattern, etc. Further, in the absence of improper design of irrigation system is another
important factor forcing poor adoption of micro-irrigation especially among the small
and marginal farmers. Evidence shows that the system design is followed according
to a fixed protocol set by the irrigation consultants irrespective of the available
resources and without considering farmer's wisdom as well as relevance. For
example, a farmer who owns a high discharge capacity pump set can irrigate more
area potentially. Micro-irrigation system for relatively smaller acreage with this pump
set will generally lead to underutilization of pump capacity. Farmers, in such cases,
are reluctant to practice micro irrigation as number of irrigations and the total energy
requirement is much higher than the traditional practices of surface irrigation.
Therefore, the MI system design needs to take into consideration, the resource
availability and farmer's concerns. In some parts of Tamil Nadu, farmers were
ignorant about the maintenance package to be adopted for the drip system, which
22 | P a g e
acted as one of the constraints for its adoption. In addition, the lack of skill and
knowledge of the farmer's about the drip irrigation and its maintenance practices
itself, remained as constraints for its adoption. High costs of the soluble fertilizers
also restricted the use of efficient fertigation practices by the farmers.
With the increasing water scarcity, farmers in rural and peri-urban areas are
using untreated domestic wastewater for agricultural purpose, thus increasing the risk
of nitrate pollution as well as health hazards for the agricultural workers and
consumers. However, there are also higher risks associated to human health and the
environment by using the wastewater .
The important issues emerging from the irrigated agriculture scenario need
urgent attention to address the issues of sustainability of food production. This is
possible only by enhancing the efficiency of the irrigation schemes, minimizing the
transmission losses, minimizing the land degradation (salinisation, water logging and
pollution of groundwater and environment), controlling overexploitation of
groundwater, and increasing the agricultural productivity as well as profitability, thus
protecting the environment. Further, to overcome the labor scarcity, cooperative
farming can be encouraged by involving Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Production
Groups, along with mechanization of agricultural operations.
Water Resource Planning and Management:
Water management is the branch of science and technology covering the
account, studies, use and conservation of water resources as well as control of adverse
effect of water, a sphere of activities responsible for water resources management
with a view to meet the demands of population and national economy for water, to
ensure rational use of water resources and their protection from pollution and
depletion, to ensure operation of water management schemes, as well as to prevent
and eliminate the adverse effect of water. Effective measures to cope with long term,
drought and water scarcity are limited and difficult to implement due to a variety of
23 | P a g e
stakeholders involved and lack of adequate means to negotiate new policies. Without
water survival of mankind is impossible. Therefore, water resource plans and
management policies are essentially be adopted to manage this scarce resource with
maintaining the environmental sustainability. Water resources management efforts
have been shifted from engineering (e.g. Dam and water channel construction) to
economic/resource based water management approach .The UN Charter of year 2002
accepts the Rights to Safe Water with respect to safety, affordability and accessibility
as a basic human right. Water is the most precious natural resource and is a critical
element in any kind of development planning. We should aim at providing adequate
water supply at a suitable pressure for various uses such as, domestic, irrigation,
drinking, sanitation, industrial, commercial, construction and other uses and at the
same time protecting the environment. Irrigation activities in India alone consume
about 80% of available water as the practices adopted are outdated and largely
wasteful. Improved methods of irrigation are available today whereby the same
amount of crops can be grown using only about 20% of the irrigation water presently
being used. So, water conservation is an urgent necessity with enough storage by rain
water harvesting, economizing on water use, reducing waste to the minimum,
recycling and reusing of used water.
Water savings from agriculture are considered the most critical measure for
long term, sustainable management of the watershed. The major components in the
water management system should include assessment and optimization of supply,
demand management, participatory and transparent management operating system,
market based regulatory mechanism, and combining authority with responsibility
taking care of ecological sustainability. Zajac (1995) as cited by Draper (2008)
described two important characterizations: Rule Fairness (or Procedural Justice) and
Outcome Fairness (or Distributive Justice) for effective water management.
Sustainable plans and policies are more likely to be those that reflect a consensus, to
the extent possible, among all impacted stakeholders. Compromises are often
24 | P a g e
necessary for participatory water resources planning and management (Takayanagi et
al. 2011). The various demands for water are all essential to our way of life: economic
growth and prosperity, agriculture and improved quality of life.
For water resource planning and management, we have to consider our
stakeholders and their interest; our legal and political constraints; and technical
information and knowledge, which has also been described by Liu et al. (2005),
Frevert et al (2006) and Lemeshko (2011). Kar D. (2011) emphasizes to use
benchmarking. techniques to improve the operating efficiency of the entire
distribution system. Infiltration supports groundwater recharge, decrease groundwater
salinity, allows smaller diameters for sewers (resulting in cost reduction), and
improves the water quality of receiving waters. Therefore, Best Management
Practices (BMP's) based on infiltration are the foundation of many low impact
development and green infrastructure practices (Chahar et al. 2012). Groundwater
banking is one approach leading to better water management. Deficits occur when the
bank is empty, and the other two sources are unable to satisfy the demand.

CHAPTER NO - 3
METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH FOR PREPARATION OF DIP As per PMKSY guidelines, the District Level Implementation Committee
(DLIC) under PMKSY to be chaired by the District /Collector/District Magistrate and
the DLIC will oversee the implementation and interdepartmental coordination at
district level and will inter-alia have following role:
i) To act as the field level coordinator between the various implementation
agencies/line departments in the District and to ensure that the agreed
District Irrigation Plan/ Annual Irrigation Plan is successfully
implemented.
ii) To prepare the District Irrigation Plan (DIP), showing the contribution of
various funding streams and programmers towards specific outputs and
outcomes and seek approval of the SLSC for the same.
District Magistrate/Collector is the chairman of the DLIC and also responsible
for the implementation of the DIP in the district.
The DIPs are prepared at two levels, the block and the district. Keeping in
view the convenience of map preparation and data collection, the work would be
primarily done at block level. Block wise irrigation plan is to be prepared depending
on the available and potential water resources and water requirement for agriculture
sector prioritizing the activities based on socio-economic and location specific
requirement. In case of planning is made based on basin/sub basin level, the
comprehensive irrigation plan may cover more than one district. The activities
identified in the basin/sub-basin plan can be further segregated into district/block
level action plans. Use of GIS Maps in land use maps in district, soil type maps of the
district, CCA Maps (Khariff, Rabi, Hot Weather), cropping pattern (Khariff, Rabi,
Hot Weather), irrigation methods used such as canal, river irrigation, open well, tube
26 | P a g e
well, tanks & water bodies, area yet to get irrigation, satellite imaginary, topo sheets
and available database may be appropriately utilized for developing irrigation plans at
least on pilot basis to begin with and subsequently may be extended to all projects.
DPRs of watershed project has been taken into account while preparation of DIPs.
The block wise master plan is to be approved by inter-mediate level block panchayat
and to be forwarded to the district planning committee for inclusions in the district
master plan i.e., DIP. The DIPs are to be vetted by the Governing body of Zilla
Parishad and subsequently be incorporated in the State Irrigation Plan (SIP).
For creating access to water source either assured or protective to each farm
will require a demand and supply assessment of crop water requirement, effective
rainfall and potential source of existing & new water sources considering
geohydrological and agro ecological scenario of the block. The master plan will
include information on all sources of available water, distribution network, defunct
water bodies, new potential water sources both surface and sub- surface systems,
application & conveyance provisions, crops and cropping system aligned to
available/designed quantity of water and suitable to local agro ecology. All activities
pertaining water harvesting, water augmentation from surface/sub surface sources,
distribution and application of water including repair renovation and restoration of
water bodies, major medium and minor irrigation works, command area development
etc. are to be taken up within the framework of this master plan. Emphasis is to be
given for deriving potential benefit from low hanging fruits like extending the
reach/coverage of water source through effective distribution and application
mechanism, reducing the gap between potential created and utilized through more
focus on command area development and precision irrigation. Proper integration of
creation of source like dams and water harvesting structures, distribution system like
canals and command area development works and precision farming to be made for
deriving best possible use of water resources. Steps may also be taken for use of
urban treated waste water for irrigation purpose.
27 | P a g e
For respective blocks a command area may be identified for this purpose and
adjoining agricultural land of urban habitation. However, the recommended norms of
treated sewage quality for specified activities at point of use be ensured during use of
recycled water.
Accordingly, an attempt was made to set up an Approach for preparing the
District Irrigation Plan. The DIP should cover broadly all the areas connected to
water availability, requirement, use, development and management. Therefore the
data pertaining to preparation of DIP would be multi-sectoral. The data requirement
of the district would require information of Physical features, Land use pattern,
Demographic / Economic/ Social, Meteorological, Hydrological, Current surface &
Ground water utilization and future requirement. Existing and proposed Water
Resources schemes, Irrigation Potential created, old water bodies etc., Agricultural /
Irrigation statistics, Water Quality etc. Further, the Central agencies i.e. CGWB can
provide the updated information of the district level GW maps as the existing
information available was 8-10 year back and other information and data available on
CWC INDIA-WRIS portal, Remote Sensing , CWC can also be utilized for
preparation of requisite district Maps in
GIS for the following:
i) Land Use and Land Cover Map.
ii) Annual Average Rainfall.
iii) Slope Map.
iv) River Network and Water Sheds of District.
v) River Network, Dam, Barrage structures of District.
vi) Irrigation Command Area.
vii) Water Bodies map of District.
viii) Irrigated & Un-irrigated Area Map.
ix) Ground Water Level
28 | P a g e
There is a need for coordination among Central/ State Agencies for data
collection at the district level as various central / state agencies are required to be
involved for providing desired data. The agencies having the required input data are
Central Agencies such as Central Water Commission (CWC), Central Ground Water
Board (CGWB), Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Indian Meteorological
Department (IMD). The State agencies at district / state capital level would be
Irrigation & Water Resources Department, Minor Irrigation Department, Command
Area Development Authority, Agriculture Department, Forest Department, Revenue
Department, State Ground water Survey Department, State Census Department, State
Planning Department. The involvement of the agencies corresponding to a particular
data type is shown in the Approach prepared for DIP in the next Para. The major part
of the data required is to be furnished by the State Agencies. Accordingly a
mechanism needs to be drawn up through a meeting at the appropriate level for
mobilizing the District & State agencies to furnish the required data through a nodal
officer nominated by the State Government for collection and compilation of the data
from the various district agencies.
3.1 COORDINATION AMONG CENTRAL, STATE, DISTRICT AGENCIES
FOR DATA COLLECTION
Following Central and State agencies need to be involved for providing desired data:
3.1.1 CENTRAL AGENCIES
- Central Water Commission (CWC)
- Central Ground Water Board (CGWB)
- Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)
3.1.2 STATE AGENCIES
- Irrigation & Water Resources Department, Minor Irrigation Department
- Agriculture Department
- Forest Department
29 | P a g e
- Revenue Department
- State Ground water Survey Department
- State Census Department
- State Planning Department
3.1.3 DISTRICT DEPARTMENTS/AGENCIES
- Irrigation & Water Resources Department, Minor Irrigation Department.
- Agriculture
- District Chief Planning Office
- Fisheries
- Horticulture
- DWMA( District Water Management Agency)
The involvement of the agencies corresponding to a particular data type is
shown above. It is apparent from the above that the major volume of the required data
is to be furnished by the State , district departments/Agencies and accordingly a
mechanism needs to be drawn up through a meeting at the appropriate level for
mobilizing the state agencies to furnish the required data. Further it would be also
appropriate if a nodal officer from the State Government is identified for collection
and compilation of the data from the various state agencies.
3.2 ANALYSIS OF THE INPUT DATA
All the data described under Annexure will form the backbone of the DIP in
terms of getting the statistical profile of the individual blocks and the district as a
whole. The physical features, demographic/economic/social data, land use pattern and
the meteorological data will give an overview of the blocks / district and will form the
statistical scenario essential for further analysis and suggestions.
The harnessed water availability in the blocks will mainly be obtained from the
canal supplies, the ground water recharge, and the water available in the small water
bodies and the check dams built across various blocks in the district. The analysis will
30 | P a g e
further look into the avenues of increasing the water availability in the blocks through
various schemes which are ongoing / contemplated. The present and projected water
requirement is also essential for getting the surplus / deficit scenario of the blocks and
the district. The agricultural, domestic, industrial, energy, etc water requirements will
be calculated by utilizing the various parameters which have been included in the data
requirement such as gross sown area / net sown area / gross irrigated area / net
irrigated area, present and projected population, industrial units, power plants, etc.
The harnessed water availability factoring also the water quality issues and the
present / projected water requirement will give a surplus deficit scenario of the blocks
/ district which will in fact be the cornerstone for making the SWOT analysis of the
district.
Based on the above the actionable suggestions will be proposed that can be
taken up in a phased manner for implementation of the schemes so that the resource
can be utilized sustainably in the future.
3.3 OUTPUT OF THE DIP
The DIP would broadly attempt to focus on bringing out the actionable areas
in the following domain subject to the availability of data from various agencies:
3.3.1 SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
Projects (Major/Medium/Minor/Old Water Bodies schemes / Ground water
Development Schemes etc.) that need to be formulated to cater present and future
demands of various sectors at the block level.
Early completion of ongoing projects under various schemes for catering to the
water requirement.
Identification of sources and funding arrangements for various projects in the
pipeline.
31 | P a g e
Water Quality issues & concerns and action required to be taken to address
them
Identification of Irrigation Potential Created (IPC) and Irrigation Potential
Utilized and the reasons for the gap between IPC and IPU.
Need for increased focus on improving water conveyance efficiency and water
application efficiency in the command areas.
3.3.2 DEMAND MANAGEMENT
a) The existing pricing policy, revenue collection and maintenance of water delivery
infrastructure / facilities.
b) Role of Water User Association through Participatory Irrigation Management for
demand management.
3.4 STEPS INVOVLED FOR PREPARATION OF DIP
Step 1 : Input Data Identification
Step 2: Identification of line Departments/ Agencies of Central, State & District
Step 3: Identification of Nodal officer for District for coordination with line
Departments/ Agencies
Step 4: Collection, Compilation of Data for Statistical Details of the District
Step 5: Analysis of the Statistical Details of the District
Step 6: SWOT Analysis Scenario of the District, Block-wise
Step 7: Actionable Areas of implementation of DIP.
Step 8: Development Strategy, Management Strategy, R&D Strategy, Funding
Arrangement.
Step 9 : Monitoring & Evaluation.
On the above lines the present DIP for Sindhudurg district is prepared duly
taking into consideration the data collected from all the line departments and
converging the data of all the departments in each block and thus a realistic action
plan is arrived as presented in the format 5.1 for 4 years. The total requirement of this
comprehensive DIP is coming to Rs.1890.89 cores for 5 years.

CHAPTER NO -6
Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme
Background :
Major & medium irrigation projects are capital-intensive in nature. The State
Governments with resources find themselves unable to meet desired fund demands of
all the projects. Therefore, the project completion gets delayed and a large number of
projects in the country have spilled over from one plan to another. Further, funds
spent on these projects are locked up and the country is not able to derive the desired
benefits. This was a matter of grave concern for the Union Government. Against
this background, the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) was
launched by Government of India during 1996- 97 to provide financial assistance to
State Governments for accelerating the pace of irrigation development in the country.
Objective:
a) To focus on faster completion of ongoing Major and Medium Irrigation
including National Projects of Sindhudurg District.
b) To accelerate implementation of large irrigation projects which are
beyond the resource capability of state government
c) Expeditious completion of the projects which were in advance stage of the
completion
d) To realize the bulk benefit from the irrigation project. Scope:
1. Enhancement of Net irrigated area in the district to the maximum potential.
2. Ongoing major & medium projects completion by next 5 years (2015-2020).
56 | P a g e
Status of Projects:
Major Irrigation Project:
Projects which have cultivable command area (CCA) of more than 10,000 ha.
Utilize mostly surface water resources.
Total No. of Major Irrigation Projects = 2 (Ongoing Project )
Names of the Projects:
1) Tilari Interstate Irrigation Project
2) Talamba Project
Medium Irrigation Project:
Kankavli 1) Deoghar Project - 4512 Ha.
2) Nardave Project - 8084 Ha.
3) Korle Satandi Project - 2500 Ha.
Vaibhawadi 4) Aruna Project - 5310 Ha.
Sawantwadi 5) Sarambal Project - 6190 Ha.

CHAPTER NO -7
Per Drop More Crop
Objective:
To enhance the crop productivity by improving the water use efficiency through
micro irrigation systems.
Scope:
Promoting efficient water convenience and precision water application devices
like drip, Sprinklers in the farm.
Activities:
1. Construction of micro irrigation structure to supplement source creation activates
including tube wells and dug wells ( in areas where ground water to available and
not under semi critical\critical\over exploited category of development) Which
are not supported under PMKSY(WR),PMKSY (Watershed) and MGNREGS.
2. Secondary storage structure at tail end of canal system to store water when
available in abundance (rainy season) or from perennial sources like streams for
use during dry periods through effective on-farm water management;
3. Capacity building, training for encouraging potential water source through
technological agronomic and management practices including community
irrigation.
4. Awareness campaign on water saving technologies, practice, programme etc.
organization of workshops, conferences, publication of booklets, pamphlets,
success stories, documentary, advertisements etc.
5. Improved/ innovative distribution system like pipe and box outlet system with
controlled outlet and other activities of enhancing water use efficiency.
58 | P a g e
6. Topping of a input cost particularity under civil construction beyond permissible
limit (40%), under MGNREGS for activities like lining inlet, outlet silt traps,
distribution system etc.
7. Drought proofing to check dams/water harvesting structure.
8. On farm development like distribution pipe/raised bed and furrow systems etc.
Output:
Drip and sprinkler irrigation
a. Under drip 3,000 ha.
b. Under sprinkler 1,000 ha.
4,000 ha. to be brought under micro irrigation to increase water use efficiency.
Outcome:
Increase production, Productivity & Quality.
Conservation and sustainable use of water.
Higher energy efficiency in agriculture sector.
Improves water use efficiency.
Higher fertilizer use efficiency.
Saving in expanses labour

CHAPTER - 08
PROBABLE BENEFITS OF THE PLAN
Following benefits are intended from the proposed DIP (Sindhudurg):
1. The total cropped area of Sindhudurg district is 322090 ha. Though, this whole
area was under agriculture most of the area is under fruit crops like Mango,
Cashew nut & Coconuts etc.
2. Through PMKSY, we are envisaging to increase irrigation potential in the district.
Under AIBP, 2 major & 9 medium irrigation projects are proposed in the plan
which shall increase the irrigation potential in 2,86,188ha. The model irrigation
plan envisages educating the farmers to adhere to the scientific practices in the
command area of Kaddam Narayan Reddy Project and Saraswathi Canal (Sri Ram
Sagar Project). This will increase the crop production per unit area of agriculture
land and ensure the recycling of ground water in a balanced manner.
3. Under Har Kheth ko Paani, Minor and Lift irrigation projects proposed shall
enable to provide irrigation access to some of the remote tribal blocks in the
district favouring second cropping during the Rabi season. As such majority of
the tribal agriculture in Sindhudurg is rainfed and the aforementioned minor
irrigation projects will facilitate better availability of water.
4. A lot of Water Harvesting and conservation structures, like Farm Ponds, Check
Dams, Percolation Tanks, Nala bunds are proposed which shall enhance the Net
Irrigated Area. This shall be undertaken in convergence with MGNREGS and
Integrated Watershed Management Program.
5. On the other hand, there is depletion of ground water levels in Sindhudurg
district. Hence the plan has proposed for many ground water table recharge
structures. This shall favour micro irrigation activities in the region mainly drip
60 | P a g e
and sprinkler irrigation. This will also spur a change in cropping patterns and
farmers will show interests towards vegetable and other horticultural crops. This
can be boost commercial precision agriculture fostering local economy. There is
high potential for micro irrigation in Sindhudurg and the plan has proposed for
maximum utilization of the same. Nearly 15% of the total cropped area can be
brought under micro-irrigation system.
6. Target of "More Crop per Drop" will be achieved.
7. New Structures shall provide more surface water opportunities and shall act as
support for the live stock. This is one of the major water needs that goes
unnoticed. The plan has proposed for cattle troughs and village ponds that favour
cattle and other livestock.
8. Increased Water Availability shall spur many Agro-based industries in the region
providing employment generation.
61 | P a g e
CHAPTER NO - 09
Conclusion
1. The holistic irrigation plan was prepared at Block level & District level.
2. PMKSY DIP will fulfill the resource gap in the irrigation chain.
3. Irrigation to every farm will be achieved through completion of major, medium &
surface minor projects proposed under AIBP.
4. Under Per Drop More crop, we will achieve enhance cropping & productivity
which leads to rural prosperity.
5. Culturable area of the district is 628100 ha.
6. Irrigated area of the district is 134542 ha. Hence 493558 ha. has to be irrigated.
7. This action plan proposes for better water use efficiency & management along
with best distribution of water sources.
Recommendation
Sindhudurg district has high availability of water both through rainfall and rivers,
streams intersecting the mainland. However much of the potential has not been
capitalized till date. Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchan Yojana is a boon at this important
juncture of Sindhudurg. The district has to undergo a transformational phase of
development mainly in irrigation as agriculture is the spine of the Sindhudurg's
economy. Access to irrigation to small and marginal farmers who comprise nearly 76 %
of total farmers, alone shall bring a synergy in rural economy and it is high time the
water potential of Sindhudurg is utilized to its fullest.
