INTRODUCTION

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 In India, irrigation has always been, and is likely to remain, the largest user of water for decades
to come. Water resources development and management is therefore, largely dictated by the
needs of irrigation. Since then, the State Governments have developed a number of water
resources projects for irrigation, flood control, hydro-power generation, drinking water supply,
industrial and other miscellaneous uses, and a large number of dams, barrages, hydro-power
structures, canal network etc. were constructed all over the country. The projects have
substantial storage component that help to provide assured irrigation, hydro-power generation,
water for domestic and industrial use and also enabled flood moderation. The net impact of all
these measures, despite almost a fourfold increase in the population since independence, India
is now self-sufficient in food production, has sufficient buffer stock of food grains to be able to
bear the brunt of consecutive years of drought. The target now is to grow enough food and fiber
for a population of 1600 million in the year 2050.

1.2 Irrigation, whether major, medium or minor – from surface water sources or from ground water;
flood control; and hydro-power generation – of any size; all are essential intervention for
augmenting the agricultural production. Irrigation Sector plays a critical role in agricultural
growth and increasing farmer’s income. In order to meet the requirements of planning and
policy formulation of this sector, a sound and reliable national data base is a prerequisite.

1.3 MI Stat Wing of DoWR, RD&GR has been conducting Census of Minor Irrigation schemes
(including surface and ground water minor irrigation schemes) with this objective and six MI
censuses have been conducted so far. The reports of six MI Censuses have been published and
the last report was for the 6th MI Census conducted with reference year 2017-18 covering 33
States/UTs.

1.4 Ministry of Jal Shakti also conducted the 1st Census of Water Bodies in convergence with the
6th Minor Irrigation (MI) Census under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme “Irrigation Census”
with reference year of 2017-2018 to develop a national database for all water bodies by
collecting information on all important aspects of the subject including their size, condition,
status of encroachments, use, storage capacity, status of filling up of storage etc. The First
Census of Water Bodies also covered urban areas and took into account all types of uses of

2
 Water Bodies like Irrigation, Industry, Pisciculture, Domestic, Drinking, Recreation, Religious
purpose, Ground Water Recharge and other purposes.

1.5 Since the water resources projects are planned, formulated, implemented and maintained by the
State Governments, it has been found difficult to create a national level data base of Irrigation
Projects. The idea of expansion of Centrally Sponsored scheme “Irrigation census” with the
inclusion of census of Major and Medium Irrigation (MMI) projects was discussed in the
meetings held in DoWR, RD&GR on 02.03.2021 and 16.03.2021.

1.6 Accordingly, a group was constituted in Central Water Commission to draft and finalize the
parameters for the aforesaid census of MMI Projects. A pilot census study of eight MMI
Projects was also conducted by Central Water Commission during 2016-2018 for standardizing
the methodology for the main census and performance evaluation of the completed MMI
Projects. The list of parameters initially drafted by the aforesaid CWC group for the census of
MMI projects was discussed during the meeting taken by the Secretary, DoWR, RD&GR on
27th March, 2023. As per the suggestions in the meeting, the list of parameters was further
discussed with the State Governments through Video Conferencing on 25th April, 2023. The
issue was discussed during the meeting of the Steering Committee under the Secretary DoWR,
RD & GR for conduct of seventh MI Census, and 2nd Census of Water Bodies and proposed
census of MMI projects on 3rd May, 2023. Based on the discussions, the schedule for the census
of MMI projects has been modified and simplified for the better understanding of the
enumerators.

1.7 Census of Minor Irrigation (MI) structures are conducted quinquennially under the Centrally
Sponsored Scheme 'Irrigation Census' and six MI censuses have been conducted so far. As per
recommendations of the Standing Finance Committee for continuation of the scheme, it was
decided in the meeting of the Steering Committee meeting constituted for conduct of 7th MI
census and 2nd Census of water bodies which was held under the chairmanship of Secretary,
Department of Water Resources, RD & GR, Ministry of Jal Shakti to enlarge the scope of the
scheme to take up the 1st census of MMI projects also.

1.8 Irrigation Projects are classified based on Culturable Command Area (CCA) as follows:

3
 i. Major Irrigation Projects: The Projects having Culturable Command Area (CCA) more than
10000 hectares (CCA>10,000 ha). This type of project consists huge storage reservoirs, flow
diversion structures and a large network of canals.
ii. Medium Irrigation Projects: Projects having CCA more than 2,000 ha and up to 10,000 Ha
are classified as medium irrigation projects. These are also multi-purpose surface water
projects. Medium size storage, diversion and distribution structures are the main components
of this type of project.
iii. Minor Irrigation Projects: Projects having CCA less than or equal to 2,000 ha are termed as
minor irrigation project.

1.9 For facilitating the census of the MMI projects, this document consisting of the schedules for
collecting the information, the terminology used in the schedules along with the instructions for
filling up the same has been prepared by the Central Water Commission.

COVERAGE, CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS

FOR
FIRST CENSUS OF MAJOR AND MEDIUM IRRIGATION
PROJECTS

5
2.0 1st CENSUS OF MMI PROJECTS
General:

2.1 1stCensus of MMI Projects will be conducted in convergence with 7th Minor Irrigation Census
using 2023-24 agricultural year as reference year. The census will be conducted fully in digital
mode where data collection, data validation and monitoring work will be done through web
application. A dashboard showing the real time progress is also incorporated in the web
application of the Census.

2.2 This Census is the complete enumeration of all completed as well as ongoing Major & Medium
irrigation projects of India. A scheme having Culturable Command Area more than 10000
hectares (CCA>10,000 ha) are classified as Major Irrigation Project and those schemes having
CCA more than 2,000 ha and up to 10,000 Ha are classified as Medium Irrigation Projects.

Scope & Coverage

2.3 The 1st MMI Projects Census will be conducted in whole of India including Union Territories.

Frame of the Census

2.4 The frame of the census would be all completed MMI projects in the country run by both
Central and State Governments. Data on 1,720 MMI projects will be pre-populated.
The1stcensus of MMI projects shall use pre-populated data of 1720 MMI projects which is
taken from the “National Register of MMI projects in India” recently published by Central
Water Commission. During the census work, enumerator can either keep the same data which
is pre populated or can be modified as per present requirement.

Concepts and definitions

2.5 Gross Command Area (GCA): The total geographical area which can normally be
commanded or serviced from an irrigation project without consideration of water supplies
available for irrigation.

2.6 Culturable Command Area (CCA): The gross command area less the non-culturable land.

2.7 Cultivable Area: It consists of net area sown in the command, current fallow, fallow lands,
other than current fallow, culturable waste and land under miscellaneous tree crops.

2.8 Gross Irrigated Area: The area irrigated under various crops during a year in a command,

6
 counting the area irrigated under more than one crop during the same year as many times as the
number of crops grown and irrigated.

2.9 Net Irrigated Area: An area in a command may be irrigated only once a year or multiple times
during various seasons of a year. It is aggregate of the area irrigated once a year and area
irrigated multiple times counting it as once is net irrigated area.

2.10 Ultimate irrigation potential (UIP): Maximum area (Gross) identified for irrigation from
available water resources. This area is aggregate of area planned to be irrigated once a year and
planned to be irrigated multiple times counting it as many times as irrigated during a year.

2.11 Irrigation Potential Created (IPC): Gross irrigation that can be achieved through the works
completed at a particular time.

2.12 Irrigation Potential Utilized (IPU): The gross area actually irrigated during reference year of
the census out of the IPC already created.

2.13 Kharif season: Kharif crops are cultivated in the monsoon season. Maize, rice, small millets,
peas, groundnut, cotton, sesame etc. are the principal kharif crops.

2.14 Rabi season: Rabi crops are cultivated in the winter season. Wheat, barley, gram, peas,
potatoes, mustard etc. are the Rabi Crops.

2.15 Bi seasonal: The Crops which last during two crop seasons is the Bi Seasonal.

2.16 Summer season: Often represents an intermediate (third) crop between the Rabi and Kharif
crops i.e Zaid crops etc.

2.17 Perennial crop: Crops which last several crop years like plantation or orchard crops.

2.18 Major Irrigation Scheme: A scheme having CCA more than 10,000 Ha is Major Irrigation
Scheme.

2.19 Medium Irrigation Scheme: A scheme having CCA more than 2,000 Ha and up to 10,000 Ha
individual is a Medium Irrigation scheme.

2.20 Micro Irrigation Systems: Micro irrigation system comprises of Drip Irrigation, Sprinkler
Irrigation, Jet, Micro-Sprinkler, Porous Pipe, Rain Gun Systems with drip irrigation and
sprinkler irrigation being the most common.

7
2.21 Sprinkler Irrigation system: Sprinkler Irrigation is a method of applying irrigation water
which is similar to rainfall. Water is distributed through a system of pipes usually by pumping.
It is then sprayed into the air of entire soil surface through spray heads so that it breaks up into
small water drops which fall to the ground.

2.22 Drip Irrigation System: It comprises the application of water in drops close to the plants. The
entire space between the plants is not watered.

2.23 Piped Irrigation System: A Piped Irrigation Network (PIN) is a network of installation
consisting of pipes, fittings such as valves, pumps (if necessary) and other devices properly
designed and installed to supply water from the source of the water to the irrigable area.

2.24 River Basin: River basin is defined as a geographical area (catchment area) determined by the
watershed limits of a water system flowing into a common terminus.

2.25 Catchment Area: The area from which runoff flows into river, reservoir, etc.

2.26 Lift Irrigation: Lift Irrigation is a method of irrigation in which the water is lifted with Pumps
and supplied for irrigation.

2.27 Full Reservoir Level (FRL) (in meter above msl): It is the maximum level of the reservoir at
which water is intended to be held for various uses.

2.28 Maximum Water Level (MWL): It is the maximum level to which the reservoir water will
rise while passing the design flood with the spillway facility in full operation.

2.29 Minimum Draw Down Level (MDDL): It is the lowest level up to which the reservoir may
be depleted for meeting various needs.

2.30 Live Storage capacity: Storage capacity between the Dead storage Level to full reservoir level.

2.31 Dead Storage capacity: Storage of the reservoir below the Minimum Draw Down level
(MDDL).

2.32 Multipurpose Project: Multipurpose Project is designed, constructed and operated to serve
two or more interests or purposes namely, flood control, hydro-electric power generation,
navigation, irrigation, fisheries, public water supplies, recreation, etc.

 CHAPTER THREE:

METHODOLOGY FOR CONDUCTING 1ST CENSUS

OF MMI PROJECTS

9
3.0 METHODOLOGY:

3.0.1 For implementation of the MMI Project Census, each State/UT Administration i.e
Principal Secretary/ Secretary identify a State Nodal Department for enumeration of
Statistics of Irrigation Projects. The State Nodal department would preferably be the
State’s Water Resource Department or Irrigation Department.
3.0.2 To ensure smooth execution of census work, State Nodal Department in state / UT’s must
designate State Nodal Officer i.e Engineer in Chief / Chief Engineer / head of the
Department. As the data of the Census has to be collected project wise hence, the State
Nodal Officer may further designate a project wise Nodal officers (level I) who may be
the one level down in hierarchy i.e Chief Engineer-I/ Chief Engineer II or Managing
Directors etc. for the respective projects. The State Nodal Officer will be responsible for
creating user accounts for project wise nodal officers (level I).
3.0.3 Nodal Officers (level I) may further designate a project wise Nodal officers (level II)
who may be the one level below in hierarchy i.e Superintending Engineer-I /
Superintending Engineer-II etc. for the respective projects. The nodal officers (level I)
will be responsible for creating user accounts for project wise nodal officers (level II).
3.0.4 Nodal Officers (level II) may further designate project wise Nodal officers (level III)
who may be the one level below in hierarchy i.e Executive Engineer I/ Executive
Engineer-II etc. for the respective projects. The nodal officers (level II) will be
responsible for creating user accounts for project wise nodal officers (level III).
3.0.5 Nodal Officers (level III) may further assign each project to concerned project in-charge
i.e Assistant Engineer / Junior Engineer for enumeration of data. He would be responsible
for coordinating and accomplishing the census work for that particular project.
3.0.6 Nodal officer level may vary as per Hierarchy level of respective Nodal Department.
3.0.7 The project in-charge will begin to enumerate the MMI project census. MMI Census data
would be collected through the project authorities as much as possible. But, for the data
related with Irrigation Potential Utilized (IPU), WUA formed etc. the concerned village
officers e.g. Patwaries, revenue officials and village level workers/gram pradhans etc.
can be involved. In this regard State Level Committee will issue suitable directions to the
concerned Revenue Department. For Irrigation Potential Utilized (IPU), the highest
figure achieved so far will be entered.
3.0.8 Census would be conducted completely in digital mode through web portal without using
any paper as most of the data is static except a few. NIC has developed a Web application
10
 for collection of data. States / UTs should make efforts to complete the field work, data
entry and validation within the given time as per schedule of the census.

3.1 Implementation Guidelines:

3.1.1 A Steering Committee is to be formed in each State with Secretary of the Nodal
Department for conduct of MI and water body census as Chairman and members from
the CWC, State Departments of Revenue, Irrigation, Water Resources, Panchayati Raj,
State Planning, DES, Rural Development and State head of NSSO (FOD). A technical
Sub Committee will be formed under the Chairmanship of Regional Chief Engineer of
CWC in charge of the State to provide technical inputs and guide the State Nodal
Department during the Census operations. A representative from regional office of
CGWB and State Water Informatics Centre (SWIC) wherever established will also be a
member of this Committee. Considering the inclusion of Census of Springs, the
Chairman of the committee may also co- opt representatives from other concerned State
Departments like Ground Water Department, Geological Department, Soil & Water
Conservation Department etc. Further, it may be ensured that representatives from Nodal
Departments for census of Major and Medium Irrigation Projects and Census of Springs
should be there in Steering Committee as well as in Technical Sub Committee.

3.1.2 Existing training module is to be standardized and put in Audio-Visual form in

English/Hindi for uniformity in imparting training.

Note: Only one Steering Committee shall be constituted for all the 04 censuses
namely, 7th MI census, 2nd Water body census, 1st census of MMI projects and 1st
census of Springs. Similarly, there will be only one Technical Sub Committee for all
these censuses.

3.3.1 The first Census of MMI projects will be conducted under the overall charge of State
Nodal Officer. For the entire Census operation, the Nodal Officer of the State/ UT shall
be the pivotal point as far as Government of India is concerned. The primary work of
collection of data will be carried out by the enumerators, preferably the Assistant
Engineer (AE) /Junior Engineer (JE) posted at the project. For enumeration of some
data points like actual utilisation of irrigation potential or season wise breakups of

14
 utilisation, WUA etc, the village accountants/Lekhpals or Patwaries /Patwars/
Girdavar/ Revenue official or any other official designated by the State/UT
Government may also be involved.

3.3.2 The work of supervision will be entrusted to higher supervisor level officers (AEE) of
the project authority. However, the overall quality of field work is to be monitored by
Divisional level (EE of the project) State officers.

3.3.3 It is proposed that for the field work of census, the various functions /roles may be
performed by the concerned Project officials as per following table:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

55
6. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. How to classify irrigation projects?
Ans: Irrigation Projects can be classified on the basis of Culturable Command Area (CCA) as
follows:
• Major Irrigation Projects: The Projects having Culturable Command Area (CCA) more than
10000 hectares (CCA>10,000 ha). This type of project consists huge storage reservoirs, flow
diversion structures and a large network of canals.
• Medium Irrigation Projects: Projects having CCA more than 2,000 ha and up to 10,000 Ha
are classified as medium irrigation projects. Medium size storage, diversion and distribution
structures are the main components of this type of project.
• Minor Irrigation Projects: Projects having CCA less than or equal to 2,000 ha are termed as
minor irrigation project.

Q2. What is to be done if the Major / Medium Project was not listed in the pre-populated
data based on 1st MMI Census in the Web application?
Ans. The enumerator may add a new project if the specific project was not listed in the pre-
populated data.

Q3. What is Culturable Command Area (CCA)?

Ans: CCA (Culturable Command Area) is the area that can be irrigated from a scheme and is
suitable for cultivation. CCA is calculated by subtracting the uncultivable area from the Gross
Command Area (GCA).

Q4. What is Ultimate Irrigation Potential (UIP)?

Ans: Ultimate Irrigation Potential (UIP) is the Maximum area (Gross) identified for irrigation
from available water resources. This area is aggregate of area planned to be irrigated once a year and
planned to be irrigated multiple times counting it as many times as irrigated during a year.

Q5. What is Irrigation Potential Created (IPC)?

Ans: Irrigation Potential Created (IPC) stand for the total gross area proposed to be irrigated
under different crops during a year by the scheme. The area proposed to be irrigated under more than
one crop during the same year is counted as many times as the number of crops grown and irrigated.
IPC area will not be more then UIP area.

56
Q6. What is Irrigation Potential Utilized (IPU)?
Ans: Irrigation Potential Utilized (IPU) stands for the gross area actually irrigated out of the
proposed area to be irrigated by the scheme during the year. IPU area will not be more then IPC area
during the same year.

Q7. If GCA / CCA/ UIP of pre planed project is not available, how to record it?
Ans. This information is mandatary. If record is not available, then estimated value can be given.

Q8. What is Headworks?

Ans.: "Head works" refers to a set of structures built at the point where water is diverted from a
river into an irrigation canal, essentially acting as the entry point for the canal system, and typically
including components like weirs, barrages, divide walls, scouring sluices, and a head regulator to
control the water flow and prevent excessive silt from entering the canal.

Q9. What is Diversion Head works?

Ans.: A diversion head works is a structure constructed across a river for the purpose of raising
water level in the river so that it can be diverted into the off taking canals.

Q10. What is Storage Head works?

Ans.: Storage headwork When dam is constructed across a river to form a storage reservoir, it is
known as storage head work. It stores water during the period of excess supplies in the river and
releases it when demand overtakes the available supplies.

Q11. What is ERM projects and its objective.

Ans. (ERM) extension, renovation and modernisation projects refer to a government initiative
aimed at improving the functionality and efficiency of existing irrigation systems by extending their
reach, repairing outdated infrastructure, and incorporating modern technologies to optimize water
usage and irrigation potential in a specific area, usually within the framework of a larger irrigation
project. The primary objective is to enhance the existing irrigation potential by increasing the area
that can be irrigated and improving water delivery efficiency.

Q12. In case of (ERM) extension, renovation and modernisation projects, CCA & IPC /IPU
may be taken from original project or additional CCA & IPC/IPU may be taken?
Ans. Additional CCA, IPC / IPU should be taken.

57
Q13. Explain the Schematic Diagram showing zones of storage of reservoir
Ans.

Q14. What is inter basin transfer and objective?

Ans. An "inter basin transfer" refers to the artificial movement of water from one river basin (a
geographically distinct area drained by a river system) to another, typically done through canals,
pipelines, or aqueducts, with the primary objective of alleviating water scarcity in the receiving basin
where water is less available, by transferring it from a basin with surplus water (donor basin) to a
basin experiencing a shortage (recipient basin).

The "Telugu Ganga Project" in Southern India is an example of an interbasin transfer project,
diverting water from the Krishna River to the drought-prone areas of Andhra Pradesh state. Telugu
Ganga main canal offtakes from the left bank of Velugodu balancing reservoir, supplies water to
Chennai city. Water transferred from Krishna (Srisailam reservoir) to Pennar and EFR between
Mahandi and Pennar.

Q15. Explain the command overlapping and its cause.

Ans: “Command area overlapped" in irrigation refers to a situation where the potential irrigation
area from one canal or water source partially overlaps with the potential irrigation area of another
canal or water source, meaning the same land can be accessed for irrigation by more than one project,
potentially leading to water management issues and conflicts between users.
Causes:

58
This overlap can happen due to geographical factors like topography, river basin boundaries, or poor
planning during project design, where canals from different irrigation schemes end up covering
similar land areas.
Impact:
• Inefficient water usage: Overlap can lead to over-irrigation in certain areas, causing water
wastage and potential soil problems.
• Conflict between users: Farmers under different irrigation projects might dispute access to
water in the overlapping areas.
• Management challenges: Coordinating water distribution and managing water rights
becomes more complex when command areas overlap.

Q16. What is Water Users' Association (WUA)?

Ans: WUA stands for Water Users' Association. It is a cooperative association of farmers who are
responsible for maintaining and operating irrigation schemes.

Q17. What is Command Area Development (CAD)?

Ans: CAD stands for Command Area Development in irrigation. It's a program that aims to
increase the use of irrigation potential and improve agricultural production.

Q18. If a project is interstate and benefited to two or more states then how to fill data in
respect of CCA, IPC, IPU, Cost, Year etc.
