Indira Gandhi Nahar Project • • • IGNP is a grand endeavour to bring the Himalayan water to the desert terrain of Western Rajasthan. Lifeline of western Rajasthan Offtakes from Harike Barrage from Punjab & total allocation of water is 7. 59 MAF Main Canal & Feeder : 649 Km Distribution system : 8758 Km. CCA 16. 17 lac Ha, it caters 17. 5 million population of 10 districts of Western Rajasthan. Land holding converted into Murabba (square) in command area of IGNP and equitable water is distributed by Barawandi Most of the area is under conventional flood irrigation practices. Water allowance in IGNP Stage I ranges from 5. 23 cusecs/1000 Acre to 3 cusecs /1000 Acre whereas in Stage II-Lift, it is only 2 cusecs/1000 Acre which is insufficient to irrigate area using flow techniques.

IGNP- Transforming Desert into Productive area Socio-economic Impact A VIEW OF THE CAMEL LABOUR at time of construction �It has turned sand dunes into green vegetative terrain. �At the price level of 2018 -19 (productivity @ Rs 40, 000/Ha) Annual produce of Rs. 6500/- crores. �Social & financial status of residents improved dramatically. �Social stigma broken ‘marriages in desert area’. regarding �Improvement in Education Level. �Basic facilities of Road, Drinking water and electricity became the integral part of the development activities.

Supervisory Control and Data acquisition (SCADA) at IGNP For transparent measurement, management and monitoring of water in IGNP, SCADA system was installed in system at important locations, comprising 53 out stations, 11 field stations & 2 master stations. The SCADA is web enabled and provides opportunity to every citizen to know the status of water flowing in system. www. ignp. co. in 1. Measuring and Monitoring of 66 open channel flows more than 50 cusecs. 2. Online display of Real Time Flow Data at Web Site 3. Automatic control system at 6 cross regulators 4. Solar power supplies with battery backup 5. SCADA software for Canal Management 6. Periodic canal profiling at defined measurement locations (viz siltation level and erosion etc)

Revamping of IGNP system- Need of hour �System is 60 years old and water conveyance is reduced in Indira Gandhi Feeder from 18500 to 11000 cusecs and in Sirhind feeder from 5600 to 4000 cusecs due to damaged lining. �Water allowance in the Stage-I is about 3 to 5. 23 cusecs/1000 acre but in Stage-II it is 2. 0 to 3 cusecs/1000 acre, thus, need for adaptation of Micro Irrigation practices in the command area of IGNP.

Rajasthan’s Initiative for Irrigation efficiency Enhancement in IGNP • Relining of Rajasthan Feeder and Sirhind feeder in Punjab portion: A Mo. U among Rajasthan, Punjab & Go. I has been entered on 23. 1. 2019 for the aforesaid work. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 1976 Cr. Relining of 96. 65 Km in Rajasthan Feeder & 100. 07 km of Sirhind feeder in Punjab state is proposed for reducing seepage losses, reclamation of water logged area & to restore original designed canal capacities. • Rajasthan Water Sector Restructuring Project for Desert Area (Funded by NDB) : A project amounting to Rs 3291. 63 Cr is under progress for rehabilitating the deteriorated conditions of canal system in the desert areas of Rajasthan. The project aims to relining main canals of IGNP system and rehabilitation irrigation network in 4. 46 Lakh Ha area.

• • ANTICIPATED PROJECT OUTCOME Relining of damaged portion of IGNP system will enhance the water conveyance and increase the efficiency of the system. Saving of 560 Cusecs due to reduction in seepage losses on relining of IGF in Punjab Portion. Saving of 479 Cusecs due to reduction in Seepage losses on relining of IGF & IGMN in Haryana and Rajasthan portion. At the tail of Sirhind feeder, allocated share of water of Rajasthan will be available after its relining Utilisation of surplus water available at Harike during rainy season- Canal will be in a position to carry added discharge. Rehabilitation of distribution system - Optimum quantity of water be to the tail end farmers 22831 Ha Water logged area will be reclaimed. Designed irrigation intensity will be achieved by adopting Micro irrigation System in six Lift canals of IGNP system

Rajasthan’s Initiative for Irrigation efficiency Enhancement in non IGNP area • Rajasthan Water Sector Livelihood Improvement Project (Funded by JICA): A project amounting to Rs 2348. 87 Cr is under progress for improving livelihood by improving irrigation efficiency of existing 137 medium/minor irrigation projects in 27 districts of state rehabilitating 4. 7 Lakh Ha of existing command. Under this project, out of existing 4. 7 Lakh Ha CCA, 47000 Ha CCA is to be converted into Micro Irrigation system. • Dovetailing & Topup subsidy under RWSLIP. For promoting Micro Irrigation system among cultivators, existing Subsidy/Assistance by Government for adoption of efficient Micro Irrigation system viz Farm Pond, Diggies Solar Pumps, Drip & Sprinkler set, pipe lines are proposed to be topped up in project area by another 10 – 25%. With this, available subsidy on these components will be upto 75% to 85% on each component.

Way Forward • MI works in 4. 4 Lac Ha area CCA are under progress and will be completed by 2022. • Conversion of minimum 10% area under conventional irrigation to MI irrigation has been kept under RWSLIP works (JICA). • In IGNP Stage II- Lift irrigation, wherein water allowance of 2. 0 cusecs/1000 Acre has been kept, effective irrigation is not possible through conventional irrigation system. The balance area of 1. 52 Lac Ha to be shifted to MI system in phases in future.
