WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
DRAFT ANNUAL PLAN PROPOSALS 2009-10
Introduction:
The geographical area of the State of
The Water Resources Department constructs
various storage structures for irrigation through major and medium irrigation
projects, takes up water distribution works under Command Area Development Authority
(CADA) and minor irrigation works such as storage works, diversion structures,
wells, lift irrigation schemes, water resources development programme
and similar works under Western Ghats Development Programme (WGDP) i.e. Hill Area Development in Sattari,
Sanguem and Canacona talukas.
The water resources of the territory have
been assessed at 8,570 M. m3 by the Central Water Commission (CWC). However,
due to topographical, geological and other constraints the level of utilization
of resources for irrigation is expected to be 1,465 M. m3 (1125 M. m3 surface +
340 M. m3 ground water). Thus 89,660 Ha of agricultural area can be brought
under irrigation as indicated in the master plans of the State Water Resources,
out of which 82,260 Ha will be by surface water and 7,400 Ha by ground water.
To help better utilization of the irrigation
potential created, under the Command Area Development Authority, the State has
prepared Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) Programme,
and as per the policy of the Government, Water Users’ Associations have been
formed and the water distribution system has been handed over to them for
maintenance, collection of water charges and for better utilization of the
irrigation potential to achieve self sustainability and make agricultural
activity self-sustainable and economically viable.
Various works are taken up under Flood
control, Anti-sea Erosion and Drainage schemes to prevent/minimize damages and
losses due to floods and sea waves. During September 2007, the towns of
Sanquelim and Bicholim had to face flooding problem due to heavy precipitation,
thereby damaging commercial establishments, households and agricultural
properties. The State has taken immediate steps to constitute a High Level Committee
to decide protective measures and give immediate relief to the affected people.
Suitable schemes have been formulated and the
proposal has been submitted to Government of India to avail assistance under
flood control and river management works under Flood Management Programme (2007-12) in the form of grants to the extent of
75% of the cost.
In order to overcome the problem of erosion of
beaches the State has participated in Government of India’s Programme
implemented through Ministry of Water Resources Preparation of Project
Technical Assistance (PPTA) which also proposes availing assistance from Asian
Development Banks (ADB) for Sustainable Coastal Protection and Management Programme.
A Panel of Experts has prepared the Master
Plans to identify water potential and assess to requirement of water in the
State by the year 2050 for Mandovi, Zuari, Talpona
and Galgibag river basins covering about 77% of the geographical area of the
State.
Besides, under the Bharat
Nirman Programme, a programme had been chalked out to bring about 23,521 Ha. of land under assured irrigation during the period from
2005-09 in the State of
The total outlay proposed during the Annual Plan 2009-10 for all the
above schemes is Rs. 34,079.99 lakh.
SCHEMES PROPOSED FOR THE
ANNUAL PLAN 2009 -10
It
is the endeavor of the Water Resources
Department to harness as much water potential as possible through utilization
of surface water and ground water of the State. The major achievement in this
direction has been made in the major and medium Irrigation Sector to the extent
that irrigation potential of 16,637 Ha CCA (25,977 Ha Ultimate) has been
created upto the end of the year 2007- 08. Besides,
an additional potential of 1,093 Ha (ult.) has been
created till October 2008 during the current year 2008-09.
During the year 2007-08, against the outlay
of Rs. 12,096.34 lakh, the actual expenditure was Rs. 11,816.55 lakh. Against
the outlay of Rs. 11,673.32 lakh during the year 2008-09, an expenditure of Rs.
2,822.42 lakh has been incurred upto October 2008 and
the total expenditure anticipated for the year is Rs.
1,60,31.26 lakh. The total outlay proposed under major and medium irrigation projects
during the Annual Plan 2009-10 is Rs. 20,236.16 lakh to create an irrigation
potential of 3,325 Ha.
1. Salaulim Irrigation Project (SIP)
The total irrigation potential of this project
is 9,686 Ha. (CCA) i.e. 14,326 Ha (Ultimate) including the command area
development works to the full extent. Out of this, potential of 9,537 Ha (CCA) i.e. 14,106 Ha
(Ultimate) has been created. Due to curtailment of Branch IV of distributory D3, 220 Ha of ultimate potential is deleted
from 14,326 Ha. Although examination of utilization of this potential is being
studied, the chances of success appear to be bleak. The project stands almost
completed except for matters related to rehabilitation and land acquisition.
The
Project has a water supply component of 160 MLD for domestic and industrial
use. In addition, permission has been granted to the PWD for use of 220 MLD of
water for expansion of the Salaulim water supply scheme.
During the year 2007-08, against the outlay
of Rs. 532.34 lakh, the actual expenditure was Rs. 436.58 lakh. During the year
2008-09 against the outlay of Rs. 484.04 lakh, expenditure incurred upto October 2008 is Rs. 259.94 lakh of which Rs. 15.92 lakh is towards re-habilitation of people from
the project area. The total expenditure anticipated for the year is Rs. 520.31
lakh. The proposed outlay for the Annual Plan 2009-10 is Rs. 969.97 lakh
towards residual works - final settlement of bills, salaries of the staff,
maintenance charges of machinery and equipment, security arrangement of the dam
site etc.
2. Tillari Irrigation Project (TIP)
This inter-State joint venture of the
Governments of Maharashtra and Goa across river Tillari was started in 1986 and
approved by the Planning Commission in 1990 for Rs.
217.22 crore based on 1987-88 rates at creating an ultimate irrigation potential
of 24,618 Ha (16,978 Ha CCA) for Goa State, besides providing 57.43 MCM for
non-irrigation purposes. The actual cost of the Head works is shared
between the Government of Goa and the Government of Maharashtra in the ratio of
73.30:26.70 respectively subject to final adjustment as per the project
clearance by the Planning Commission. However, after review of the project by
the Government of Goa, the GTIDC has mapped the actual cultural command area
which is 14,521 Ha CCA. Due to this, there is a saving to the tune of 57.60 MCM
of water which will be utilized for domestic, industrial and other non agricultural requirements
of Pernem, Bardez, Bicholim and Tiswadi talukas. Upto October 2008, 5,751
Ha CCA i.e. 8,339 Ha (Ultimate) potential has been created under the project
out of which 1,093 Ha has been created during the year 2008-09 till October, 2008.

9. Water Resources
Development Works/Water Conservation (Inter-linking of Rivers and Post- Monsoon
Water Harvesting)
This scheme is ideal to overcome the
precarious water shortage situations arising due to monsoon failures as well as
to augment the future water requirement in the State. Considering the
geo-physical structure of the State, and boosted by the resounding success of
the inter linking of rivers and post monsoon water harvesting programme, the State has undertaken construction of a
series of bandharas for
augmentation of water sources to water treatment plants at Opa in Ponda taluka, Assonora in Bardez taluka and Dabos in Sattari taluka to help in ground water re-charge, for
diversion of water and to create storage in the riverine system as well as in
the river banks by retarding the interflow of ground water into the riverine
system. A total number of 170 bandharas have been
planned on various rivers/ nallahs out of which 120 bandharas holding a total storage of 40.77 mcm have been completed as on date. At present construction
of 7 bandharas holding
a total storage of 0.14 mcm is in progress. An additional
43 bandharas holding a total storage 2.34 mcm are planned for implementation during the year 2009-10.
A notable feature of these water resources
development projects is that the benefits have come without any environmental
destruction /degradation and their design features ensure that rivers do not
silt up due to the storages. Beneficial
effects of this scheme have been felt in a tangible and substantial way and
agriculture has vastly benefited due to the uninterrupted supply of irrigation
water thereby opening up innumerable avenues for growth and prosperity of the
farmers. The ground water reserve in the basins has also been built up through
recharge providing a tremendous boost to irrigation and drinking water supply
in the local remote areas.
The work of inter-linking of
Madei river at Ganjem to Khandepar river
at Opa is progressing in full swing. The work is almost completed except for
construction of gravity pipeline for a length of 3 Kms.
which is also in progress. The scheme will be fully operational by February
2009 and will augment 30 MLD of water to Opa Water Works especially during the
lean season of the year for supply to Ponda and Tiswadi talukas.

As per the Bharat Nirman Programme
in
There was no separate budget provision for this programme.
However, provision for expenditure was made from the budget provision under
major and medium irrigation (excluding water development),
minor irrigation (excluding water resource development programme)
and hill area development programme (
The
achievement is less as compared to the target set is mainly due to Tillari
Irrigation Project which is in the advanced stage of completion. The
implementation of the project is delayed due to land acquisition process which could
not be completed in time. This has delayed the further progress of canals in
