CHAPTER – 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL

Rajasthan is the largest state of the country, located on the north –western

border. It lies between latitude 23 3’ 0” to 30 12’ 0” North and longitude 69o 30’

0” to 78o 18’ 0” East having a total area of 3,42,239 Sq. Km it is roughly rhombic in

shape and has an east west diagonal of about 860 Km. it is bounded on west &

north west by Pakistan with which it has a common border in a length of over

1000 Km On the east it is bounded by Uttar Pradesh and on the south & south

east lies the state of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. It is bounded by Haryana &

Punjab in north.

1.2 INTRODUCTION & HISTORY

Dholpur lift irrigation scheme is located in Tehsil Dholpur & Rajakhera of Dholpur

District. The River Chambal Flow about three kilometers from Dholpur town. The

command area proposed under this scheme is very fertile and suitable for

agriculture. Sufficient quantity of water is available in the river Chambal during

non-monsoon months, which can be utilized for irrigation. Proposed command

area has no other resource of water therefore it is proposed to irrigate this area

by lifting water from river Cambal. Dholpur Tehsil of Dholpur district have

boundary with Morena district of Madhya Pradesh. This area is adjoining Chambal

ravines. The main occupation of the people in the area is agriculture. Due to

assured irrigation, the population will get employment & which will consequently

improve the economic standard of the people in the area. This scheme will also

help in reducing the dacoit menace due to gain full employment to the agriculture

labour that otherwise due to economic pressures lured to the dacoits which have

become legend of the adjoining area of Bhind & Murena district of Madhya

Pradesh.

Ch-I Page 2

1.3 PROPOSED PROJECT

The proposed Dholpur Lift Irrigation project with an estimated cost for Rs

781.97 crores is a lift irrigation scheme. The water from Chambal River is

proposed to be lifted by 60.5 meters for providing irrigation facilities in C.C.A. of

34465 ha. The project on completion will provide irrigation facilities in 13720 ha

in Rabi. Dholpur lift irrigation project envisages utilization of water from Chambal

River near Village “Sagarpada” on its left bank. The lifted water will be used for

irrigation through network of lined canals covering the Rajakhera & Dholpur

Tehsils. It is proposed to make pressure irrigation (sprinkler irrigation) mandatory

in the command area. For this purposes command area of the project is to be

divided into chaks of approximately 100 ha size and provide irrigation with the

help of construction of Diggies & Pumprooms equipped with set of monoblock

pumps at each outlet point and laying of HDPE pipe network in the command

area of Diggie. List of the important villages in the command is enclosed at

Annexure-9.

1.4 CLIMATE

Rain fall: Climatically Rajasthan is a driest part of India. This district lies in

the Southern –Eastern part of Rajasthan & having an isohytal of about 28” (700

mm).

Temperature: in this area winter is quite cold, at some places

Temperature drops down to freezing point and on the other hand the Heat

during summer is intense and the maximum temperature goes up to 47o C.

1.5 PHYSICAL FEATURES

Long ranges of Arawli Hills are the most significant physiological feature of

Rajasthan State. This area is part of catchment area of Chambal sub basin.

Chambal is the only perennial river of the region. Catchment area of Chambal

Ch-I Page 3

River is mostly hilly with steep slopes in the upper reaches and flat patches of

cultivated land on bank of river and nalla in the lower reaches. River Chambal

originates from Mhow in Indore Distt. in ranges of Satpura of Madhya Pradesh

and after flowing about 960 Kms and finally joins river Yamuna near Itawa (U.P). A

part of the catchment area is hilly. There are a number of rivultes in the area

having their source in these hills. Some part area is having ravines. Command area

of the project is mostly plain.

1.6 NECESSITY OF THE PROJECT

Percentage of the irrigated area in the two tehsils of district Dholpur, is only

marginal and a large part of cultivable area needs adequate irrigation facilities. In

these tehsils, area covered by flow irrigation is very small. The situation of ground

water is becoming worse by passage of each day as the most of the area irrigated

is dependent on ground water.

Objective of the project is to utilize the available water of river Chambal at the

take off point to irrigate CCA of 34465 ha of two tehsils by lifting the water. After

detailed survey and investigation this command is proposed. Hydrological data of

river Chambal were collected from C.W.C which reveals that sufficient water is

available in Chambal River at the take off point of the project to irrigate, the

proposed command.

1.7 MODE OF COMMUNICATION

The Dholpur Lift Irrigation Project’s pumping station is proposed on the left bank

of river Chambal near village Sagar pada of tehsil Rajakhera and Dholpur, Distt.

Which is at a distance of about 3.0 km from Dholpur and is situated near National

Highway.

1.8 NATURAL RESOURCES

Apart from Mahi, Chambal is the only River in the State having sufficient

water Potential, which can be harnessed for irrigation of cultivable land. Total

catchment area of Chambal River is 137219 Sq. Kms. The catchment area of river

Ch-I Page 4

upto the project site is 77422 Sq. Kms. And up to gauge Site near village Palighat is

76650 Sq. Km. A large numbers of river and tributaries join Chambal. Note worthy

are Namla, Siwana, Retam, Shipra, Chhoti Kali Sindh, Kali Sindh, Curel, Parbati &

Banas. Catchment area of Chambal River is mostly hilly with steep slopes. Patches

of flat cultivated land are seen on banks of river.

1.9 LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT

No land will be submerged in this project as it is proposed to use the

flowing water of river Chambal by lift. Land will be required for construction of

canal system, construction of project colonies and others etc. Construction of

Pump house will be required, part of canal passes through Reserve Crocodile

Sanctuary of Forest Department. Construction in Sanctuary area is proposed

through pipes & cut & cover Section of canal.

1.10 BENEFIT TO ANTI DACOIT ACTIVITY

The many villages of the proposed command area come under so called

Decoit prone area. The completion of project will help social upliftment of people

& will prevent dacoit activity.

2.7 LOCATION OF PUMP HOUSE

The proposed intake well/Pump House is located on Left bank of the

river Chambal near village Sagarpada. Site is approachable from N.H.-3 (56-

57Km from Agra) From Delhi to Gwalior. The right bank of river is full of

ravines. The proposed coordinates of pumping station are longitude

77o54’15’’ and latitude 26

o39’40’’ but as there is a large time gap in the

survey and planning and by the time there are many changes on the site

due to construction of intake well of PHED and construction of New Bridge

on Chambal River, the detailed survey will be required to take final decision

on the exact location of pump house. For detailed design purpose, block

leveling survey of pumping station sites will be done at the time of

execution.

2.8 SUBMERGENCE AREA

No private land or government land will be submerged due to this

project as no storage has been provided because it is proposed to lift water

directly from existing pond available in Chambal River, however some land

will be acquired for construction of the feeder, main canal, distributaries &

minors along with required structures. Adequate provisions for

compensation have been taken.

2.9 DRAINAGE

The Command area is having mild slope towards the river Pravati and

Chambal and this connected through ravines (small nallahs) thus the area

will be will Drained and there will be no water logging in the command

area. The intensity of irrigation has been kept on lower side looking to the

practice of use of wells in the area which leads to drainage of sub soils

water.

Ch-2 Page 7

• Economic Rate of Return

It is expected that irrigation would be started after four years

of taking up the project. The irrigated area will go on increasing with the

progress of the project. Full development of irrigation will take about 10

years from date of commencement. The direct benefit will thus start

from the project after four years of commencement and will reach full

level after ten years. The direct benefits will be from irrigation charges

and charges for drinking water. The benefit cost ratio of the project at

10% interest rate has been work out as per chapter IV.

CHAPTER IV

CROPPING PATTERN IN PROJECT AREA

4.1 CROP SEASON

Major part of the Command Area is unirrigated and only rainfed crops

area grown. Common Kharif crops are Bajara, Til,K- Pulses, and Kharif

others while mustrad and Gram are grown in Rabi season. Wheat &

Potato are grown under well Irrigation.

4.2 CROPPING PATTERN

The observations during the soil survey studies reveal that no definite

crop sequence is followed. Selection of crops or cropping pattern totally

depend on quantity and period of rainfall. In years of good well

distributed rainfall large area is covered under Kharif crops while in

years of late rainfall rabi crops are taken. Under well irrigation two crops

are generally grown. Howover where well irrigation is not available

farmers raise only one rain fed crop.

Rabi- Wheat, Gram, Mustard, Barley, Potato, Rabi fooder.

Kharif- Bajara,K- Pulses,Til, Maize, Kharif fooder.

4.3 PROPOSED CROPPING PATTERN

The proposed cropping pattern for Dholpur Lift Irrigation Project has

been adopted considering Soil survey report of the command area as

well as study conducted by WAPCOS New Delhi Besides this agro-

climatic condition, crops adopted by farmers, socio economic needs of

area and the quantity of water available from month Octomber to

March. So it is proposed irrigation Rabi Crops. The additional demand of

water deficit periods of the Rabi seasons will be meet out by the ground

water. According its intensity of irrigation has been proposed as 97.23%

in total.

The total irrigable command area of project will be about 34465 Ha out

of which 33177 ha will be given irrigation in Rabi.

4.4 B.C. Ratio

The Directorate of Agriculture, pant Krishi Bhawan Jaipur calculates the

B.C. Ratio (1.52:1) vide letter No. f-8/CAG/WUC/BCR/15-16/219 dated

26.04-2016. (Annexure enclosed)

Ch-4 Page 2

General Description of the Area

4.5 Introduction

For sustained food production over long periods of time, the

development of irrigation facilities is exceedingly important. The high

cost of irrigation projects for developing the command area land for

irrigated agriculture requires economic and technical justification. In fact

in view of the latest innovations in the field of irrigation, the project

planning for irrigated agriculture is based on an inter-disciplinary

approach. The detailed knowledge of soils is imperative for design of

irrigation schemes. In view of above, therefore the details on soil

properties determining land suitability for irrigation were obtained

through conducting semi-detailed soil survey studies in the field.

4.6 Objectives

The principal objective of present study is to utilize efficiently the

precious water of Dholpur Lift irrigation scheme. The other main uses of

soil survey studies in present study are as follows:-

i. To classify the soils of command area of their suitability for irrigated

agriculture.

ii. Description of pertinent soil properties including physical, chemical and

hydro-dynamic characteristics of various soil types.

iii. To recommend the suitable methods for determining the soil properties

in laboratory.

iv. To determine crops suitability for the soils occurring in the command

area.

v. To recommend crop production technology for major crops suitable for

command area.

Ch-4 Page 3

vi. To recommend the equipments required for setting up a soil testing

laboratory.

vii. To determine drainage needs of specific soil types.

viii. To determine erosion extent.

ix. To decide upon suitable on-farm water management practices including

selection of appropriate irrigation method, land grading requirements

etc.

In order to meet the above objectives, a semi-detailed soil survey study

of Dholpur lift irrigation scheme was carried out.

4.7 LOCATION AND EXTENT

The Dholpur lift irrigation project command area extends from 770 50'

20" to 78' 15' longitude and from 26' 41' 40" TO 26 57’ 20” latitude.

Proposed command area is a part of chambal and parvati river basin.

Chambal river forms the south and eastern boundary while river Parvati

makes north and western boundary of the Dholpur lift project. The

demarcated area extends to about 4308 ha. The command area

comprises of the part area of 114 villages fields of Dholppur Tehsil and

62 villages of Raja Khera Tehsil of Dholpur district. The name of villages

of Dholpur and Raja Khera Tehsil which are to be benefited the Dholpur

Lift irrigation schemes are enclosed respectively. The command area will

be irrigated by pumping the water of Chambal river through pumping

station and feeder can also located on the left bank of river Chambal

near village Sagarpada about 3 Km away from Dholpur city. The

coordinates of the pumping station site are longitude 77’ 54’ 16” and

latitude 26’39’ 40”.

Ch-4 Page 4

4.8 PHYSIOGRAPHY

The command area is a part of the plains of old alluvium and is drained

to river Parvati on the North-West and river Chambal to the South-East.

Highest point of the command area is 180 M above mean sea level near

Maraina village. In general the area is distinguished by old alluvial plains

falling within 160 M contour that area nearly level to gently sloping

lands, gullied lands along with Chambal which remains flooded during

monsoons. Besides these natural features, there are areas surrounded

by roads and Railway lines that get flooded during monsoon due to the

lack of drainage ways near Ondela village on the South-West end of the

Project area.

4.9 CLIMATE

As revealed from the latest record of meteorological observations

including rainfall, temperature and relative humidity the region is

characterized by semi arid to moderate climate. The average annual

rainfall is about 648 mm. Most of the rainfall occurs during the rainy

season from July to September. The rainfall pattern is erratic in nature

with occasional winter showers. The average maximum and minimum

temperature recorded during last 5 years is 44o C & 5o C respectively.

Maximum temperature was observed during the month of June while

minimum temperature occurred during January.

4.10 PRESENT LAND USE

As revealed from the Revenue records and field survey, most of the area

is under cultivation. About 40% area is under well irrigation and

remaining area is under rainfed agriculture. The principal crops of Rabi

season are wheat (Triticum estivum, L) Mustard (Brassica sp) and gram

(Cicer arietinum. L) & Potato while Jowar (Sorghum vulgare), Bajra

Penisetum typhoideum, Guar (Cyamospsia psoraloides) and Arhar

Ch-4 Page 5

(Cajanus cajan) crops are raised in Kharif Season.

4.11 NATURAL VEGETATION

Dry deciduous type of vegetation is dominant in the area. Common tree

and shrubs grown in command area are listed below:-

Local Name Botanical Name

Dhak Butia frondosa

Babul Accasia nilotica

Khejri Accasia arebica

Vilayati Babul Prosopis Spioigera

Seum Dolhergia-Shishu

Neem Azaraeta indica

Mango Magrifera indica

Ber Aiayphus zizuphus

Ker Capparis deciduas

Aak Calotropis procera

Kans Sacchrum spontanium

4.12 SOCIO ECONOMIC CONDITION OF THE FARMERS

During the field survey, socio-economic survey was also carried out to

assess the economic condition of the farmers. The economic survey was

conducted for assessing the economic status, load credit facilities and

sized of the holdings possessed by the farmers. Generally farmers are

poor mainly due to having small holding, inadequate irrigation facilities,

erratic rainfall and lack of crop production inputs etc. The credit facilities

for the beneficiaries are available through the nationalized banks and

cooperative institutions. During the social survey, it was observed that

loan facilities from the nationalized banks are available for purchasing

Ch-4 Page 6

agricultural implements, irrigation facilities including digging and

deepening of the dug wells, installations of pumping sets etc. The credit

facilities are also available for purchasing seed, fertilizers and pesticides

from cooperative institutions. With respect to holding sized, 90%

farmers are marginal to small having the holdings between 1 to 2 ha.

Remaining farmers have medium and big land holdings.

Though primary education facility is available at important village

headquarters at large the farming community is illiterate. Due to poor

economic conditions, the children generally work on the fields and do

cattle grazing. The secondary occupation of the villagers is dairying.

Milch cattles are of local breed. The cross-breeds are not common in the

area.

Though the farmers are aware of modern agriculture technology and the

significance of use of fertilizers and pesticides, due to uncertainty of the

rain and poor economic conditions, they are unable to adopt modern

agriculture technology.

PRESENT CROP PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY AND CROPPING PATTERN

Major part of the command area is unirrigated and only rainfed crops

are grown. Common Kharif crops are Jowar, bajra, guar and Arhar while

mustard and gram are grown in the Rabi season. Wheat is raised only

under well irrigation.

4.13 CROP PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

Crop production technology presently followed by farmers is briefly

described below:-

1. Jowar (Sorghum)

Jowar is principal Kharif crop of the area and sown with the onset of

monsoon in the month of July. Only local variety is planted. The seed

rate is about 40 to 50 kg/ha. In areas there Jowar is grown as mixed

crop with Arhar or guar , the seed rate of Jowar is 4 Kg while that of

Arhar and Guar 2 Kg/ha respectively. Two to three tillage operations are

performed before sowing. Generally fertilizer is not applied but 10-12

cart loads of F.Y.M. is normally used. Due to poor fertility and erratic

rainfall the yields are very low with an average of 10-15q/ha. In mixed

cropping system average Jowar Yield is 6-8 Q/ha. While that of Arhar

and Gaur is 1.5 q/ha. Jowar for grain production is harvested in the

month of November.

2. Bajra (Pearl Millet)

Bajra is also sown in the month of July. Its seed rate is about 10 kg/ha.

The crop is raised only for grain purpose. No fertilizer is applied.

However, 8-10 cart loads of F.Y.M. is used. The average yield is very low

about 4 quintals per hectares.

3. Arhar (Cajanus Cajan)

Arhar is an important pulse crop of the area and commonly grown as

mixed crop with Jowar. It is planted in the month of July and its seeds

rate is 20-30 Kg per hectares. It is harvested in November. In villages

whre Arhar is grown as individual crop its seeds rate is 20-15 Kg per

Ch-4 Page 11

hectares and yield is about 8-10 quintals per ha.

4. Mustard (Brassica Spp.)

In areas where sufficient residual moisture is available mustard is widely

grown. It is a major rabi crp of this area. Only local tall growing variety is

sown. Its seed rate is about 4 to 5 Kg per ha. The crop is harvested in the

month of April and yield is about 12-15 q/ha.

5. Gram (Cicer Aeretinum)

Gram is grown in low lyling areas where water stands during monsoon. It

is sown between mid Octobers to mid November. Its seed rate is 60 – 70

Kg. per ha. Only local varieties are sown. Crop is harvested in the month

of March and yields are 12-15 quintals per ha.

6. Wheat (Triticum astivum)

Wheat is raised under well irrigation. Generally local varieties are

planted. Sowing is done in the month of November and its seed rate 100

to 120 Kg. per ha. Besides 10-15 cart loads of F.Y.M. farmers apply

fertilizer at the rate of 50 Kg. D.A.P. and 50 Kg. Urea before sowing First

irrigation is applied after 25-30 days of sowing crop is harvested in the

last week of March or first week of April. Average yield is about 15 q/ha.

4.14 CROPPING PATTERN

The observations during field soil survey studies reveal that no definite

crop sequence is followed. Selection of crops of cropping pattern totally

depend on quantity and period of rainfall. In years of good well

distributed rainfall large area is covered under kharif crops while in

years of late rainfall rabi crops are taken. Under well irrigation two crops

are generally grown. However, where well irrigation is not available

farmers rais only one rainfed crop.

General adaptable crops sequences for well irrigated, rainfed and canal

irrigated area for Dholpur project are given below:

As the area receives more than 600 mm of annual rain fall and water

supply may be regulated to conserve water based on rain fall pattern

each year.

The crop sequences for canal irrigated areas are given below:-

CROPS AND MANAGEMENT RECOOMENDATION

Adapted crops and their management requirements are listed in the

table 3.1 for different irrigability classes. The recommendations give a

general guideline for cropping and management practices. The

recommendations are limited to the assessment made of the area with

respect to suitability of the lands for irrigated agriculture. However, they

are not location specific as done by extension officers and agronomist in

the field. Specific recommendations and selection of crops will be

possible after detailed soil mapping for the development of the area in

specific irrigation chaks.

4.15 IRRIGATION WATER APPLICATION

Optimum depth and suitable frequency of water application in field have

great bearing on field irrigation efficiency. Therefore, it is exceedingly

important to determine the depth and irrigation intervals in accordance

to latest Innovations in the field of irrigation. Field water application is

influenced by ETC, water availability in soil, rooting depth and moisture

depletion factor. Irrigation intervals can be completed using following

relation:

(FC - PWP) X P X D

I = _____________________ days

ET

Where, FC and PWP are volumetric soil water contents at, field capacity

and permanent wilting point p, is moisture depletion factor, D is

effective rooting depth and Etc is crop evapotranspiration. It is

recommended that in order to avoid excessive irrigation that optimum

irrigation frequency should be computed on taking in account above

factors. Flow rates frequencies in amount of water may be quite

different based on the nature of the soil, particularly its physical

Ch-4 Page 15

properties. The project area comprises of moderately coarse textured

and Moderately fine in textured soils.

Available moisture capacity of the soils ranges from slightly low to

Moderate level which is due to differentiating soil texture and pore-size

geometry. It is therefore necessary to study flow rates, frequencies and

amount of water application to different soils of the area.

The survey study reveals that nodular, lime horizon may occur in the

profiles within 150 to 180 cms from the surface. This will be very

important hydro-geological feature and wherever such layers occur

problem of pereched water table may develop. It is therefore necessary

to locate and map the areas, through detailed survey for specific

recommendation on the drainage problem. The area has natural nalas

that drain the area to the rivers Parbati and Chambal respectively. It is

necessary to tap such if drainage ways to solve the problem of drainage

of perched watertable.

The detail contour and soil surveys are necessary for slope classes of

land for specific recommendations and tackling the drainage problem

that may arise.

Monitoring of ground water quality and its rise is also an important

aspect in the management of irrigation regimes of the soils of the area.

The low lying areas comprising APf and BPf soil units will have to be

studied in detail to assess their drainage requirements. These lands are

subject to over flow and Kharif Crops are not raised during normal

rainfall years. Further these lands may face the problems of

waterlogging, and salinity build up.

Ch-4 Page 16

Based on such studies, recommendations for their management have to

be made for future development. Adequate measures are necessary to

prevent seepage losses from adjoining irrigated lands.

4.16 SELECTION OF CROPS AND CROP MANAGEMENT

Climatically adapted crops and their management recommendations

are given in tables 4.4 and 4.5. An appropriate selection of crops

has to be made based on, intensity of irrigation, stream size,

water allowance and, irrigation efficiency. In-situ infiltration rate and

hydraulic conductivity data indicate that the area is suitable for

gravity flow irrigation. The soils in general can be irrigated through

border strips and furrow irrigation methods. However, in

order to increase irrigation efficiency the suitability and irrigation

system may be experimented.

Adapted crops and general management recommendations and

fertilizer requirements are given in table 4.4 and 4.5.

4.17 DEVELOPMENT AND PROTECTION OF MARGINALLY NON

IRRIGABLE LANDS

Soil unit APg, BPg and CPg come under marginally non irrigable

lands due to severe gullied erosion. These lands are to be developed

and protected to prevent further degradation of lands due to erosion.

The measure may include growing of trees as well as engineering

constructions. With these measures the area may also be developed as

pastures. It may be pertinent to suggest to allot such of these eroded

lands to the farmers of the area to develop the same as forests and

pastures to have a balanced development of the environment.
