Piped distribution of irrigation in SSP [Sardar Sarovar Project]: making sense of the chaos
Piped distribution of irrigation water has helped in faster expansion of sub-minor distribution network of the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP). An ITP study across six minor canal commands though shows that majority of the intended beneficiaries continue to depend on surface-lift or ground water source...

| description | Piped distribution of irrigation water has helped in faster expansion of sub-minor distribution network of the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP). An ITP study across six minor canal commands though shows that majority of the intended beneficiaries continue to depend on surface-lift or ground water sources for irrigation. The defunct status of WUAs, responsible for managing operation and maintenance at sub-minor level, in most of these locations raises question on the efficacy of the present participatory model. Farmers are however arranging for irrigation through private initiatives and are able to access assured irrigation using the same canal water. Is it time we provide legitimacy to these initiatives to enhance utilization of the SSP water? |
