ANDHRA PRADESH COMMUNITY BASED TANK MANAGEMENT PROJECT (APCBTMP)

Background

The Government of Andhra Pradesh initiated the process of providing to the farmers benefiting from irrigation projects, substantive management role in the operation and maintenance of the irrigation infrastructure. For this purpose, the Andhra Pradesh Farmers Management of Irrigation System Act 1997 was enacted.

After the passage of the APFMIS Act 1997, I&CAD Department carried out minimum rehabilitation of minor irrigation tanks and modernization of major irrigation projects for future maintenance by Water Users Associations (WUAs). Performance evaluation of the WUAs highlighted the need for greater investment in the institution building process for enabling the WUAs in infrastructure management. This process has been initiated as part of the ongoing sector reform process in tune with the observations of Mid Term Appraisal of the Xth plan and observation of the Sub Group on Agriculture and Irrigation of National Development Council. While new infrastructure creation is the main agenda of the Irrigation Department, the reform process and facility management are the agenda of the CAD wing of the I& CAD department under the flagship Jalayagnam program of the Government.

Water tax collection and plough back: In order to provide incentive to WUAs to take over O&M responsibilities, the I&CAD Department initiated the process of ploughing back the water tax collected to the WUAs. The Water Management committee under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary suggested measures for simplification of the tax collection and plough back procedures (vide IRRIGATION & C.A.D. [General.IV.2] DEPARTMENT G.O. No. 96 Dated: 08-06-2007).

The Andhra Pradesh Community Based Tank Management Project is taken up with the assistance of the Government of India and the World Bank covering 3,000 tanks in 499 mandals of 21 districts with an approximate cost of Rs. 1,044 crores. The proposed project development objective is for selected tank based producers to improve agricultural productivity and water user associations to manage tank systems effectively. Key performance indicators proposed to measure achievement of the project development objective include: increase in area irrigated; improved water availability for tail-end farmers; increase in agricultural (including livestock and fisheries) productivity and production from tank systems; resources raised and operation and maintenance (O&M) expenditures incurred by user groups.

Pledge by the Water User Association Members

We, members of ………………………………………………………………………… WUA, have participated in the implementation of the rehabilitation of …………………………………………………………………………………………….... Tank under the APCBTM Project. We received the requisite training and have made exposure visits planned under the project.

All the works approved under the APCBTM Project have been completed by the WUA and the Contractor. The WUA Works sub-committee has checked the quantity and quality of the construction and has recommended payments for the same.

As agreed in the MoU between WUA and DPD, we have contributed Rs. …….……… ……………………… ……………………………………………………………………….… in cash/kind towards cost of the Civil Works (5% of total cost of civil works).

We have created a WUA Corpus Fund in which Rupees ……………………………….. ………………………………………………. have been deposited (in the WUA O&M Account). We have developed an Expenditure Plan and a Financial Plan for the next Five Years to meet the O&M expenses using the proceeds of the WUA Corpus Fund.

WUA assuming O&M responsibilitiesWe now resolve to take over the responsibility of operation and maintenance of the ……………………………………………………………………………………………….. tank.

We will abide by the rules and regulations of The Andhra Pradesh Farmers Management of Irrigation Systems Act (Act 11 of 1997) with Updated Amendments as on April 2007.

We understand that the tank system will require regular operation and maintenance comprising a number of activities and that the costs for these have to be paid for through our contributions in cash and/or in kind. These activities include:

i. Desilting (feeder channels, irrigation channels and if required tank bed)ii. Jungle clearance in the tank systemiii. Repairs to embankment, revetment, shutters, masonry and lining, waste

weir and surplus courseiv. Cleaning and oiling of screw gears and gate grovesv. Emergent breach closing works

APCBTMP TIMP COMPLETION REPORT Page 16

Page 18: APCBTMP TIMP Completion Document -- Copy to DPUs - 16 Feb 10

vi. Reconstruction/ repairs of sluices, andvii. Reconstruction / repairs to drops and regulators

We will protect the tank system by preventing any future encroachment. We will protect the trees and plants in the foreshore and on the tank bund areas. We will properly maintain the feeder channels, nalas, and irrigation channels.

We will avoid: i. Lifting of water by pumping from tank or canal or any wastage of waterii. Drawing of water from tank and canal by siphoningiii. Obstructing free flows in the channelsiv. Contamination of tank waterv. Unauthorized operation of sluicevi. Damaging of sluice, tank bund, waste weir, irrigation canal, distribution

system, surplus coursevii. Unauthorized lowering and rising of tank bund and weir heightviii. Grazing of animals on tank bundix. Violation of water regulation rules or water budgetx. Obstructing and interfering in the duties of Neerugantis xi. Violation of cropping pattern and crop water budget

We will regulate and monitor:i. Utilization of water from open wells and borewells in the ayacutii. Groundwater use by ayacutdars and those in the tank influence zoneiii. Discrepancies in utilization of water by the land holdersiv. Schedule of crop period by water users

Funds for repairsWe understand that no further funds will be released from the Government for ordinary repairs. In emergency situations such as floods or earthquakes, if tanks get breaches or major damages occur to the tank system, repair works will be taken up by the WUA as per the specifications and quantity mentioned in the Operation and Maintenance Manual provided by the Irrigation Department. WUA will approach the Irrigation Department for any guidance in preparing estimates or carrying out the repair works.

Works not to be taken up by WUAThe following activities are not to be taken up by the WUA:

i. Allowing irrigation in the foreshoreii. Increasing or lowering of weir heightiii. Increasing or lowering of Sill level of sluiceiv. Change of standards of tank system

APCBTMP TIMP COMPLETION REPORT Page 17

Page 19: APCBTMP TIMP Completion Document -- Copy to DPUs - 16 Feb 10

Any such repair works are to be taken up as per the technical guidelines provided by the Irrigation Department.

Annual crop planning We will conduct an annual crop planning exercise to optimize use of the available water in the tank so that water is shared equitably between all the stakeholders. We will monitor the water inflow regularly to assess water quantity in the tank. The TC member and farmers of each TC will discuss and plan the crops for each survey number. The WUA Water Management Sub-committee shall consolidate the water distribution plan in accordance with the demand of the farmers.

Season wise water distribution & managementThe Subcommittee will seek endorsement of plan from the WUA Management Committee. The plan will be implemented through the lashkar (watermen).

i. distribute water among all the tank users equitablyii. create an awareness on economic use of water and promote efficient water

use technologies & practices among the tank usersiii. collectively prepare water use and agricultural plans for each irrigation

seasoniv. arbitrate and resolve any disputes over distribution of water among the

tank users

Any dispute arising in water distribution will be resolved amicably. Anyone who breaches the agreed water distribution plan will be suitably penalized by the WUA Management Committee.

O&M Fund

We agree to contribute regularly to maintain a healthy Corpus Fund to meet all the operation and maintenance expenses of the tank in the future. We will maintain regular ledgers and accounts of the WUA as required.

We will collect O&M funds mainly from the following sources: i. Water charge collection ploughed back to the WUAii. O&M fund created out of the 5 % contribution collected as cashiii. Funds received as WUA share of the fisheries auction iv. Funds from foreshore plantationv. Rental income raised community farming equipments owned by WUAvi. Membership Feesvii.
