| Summary, etc. |
Maharashtra is the third largest state in India. The state had created irrigation potential to the tune of 3.08 mha. But the state lags behind in utilisation of created potential. As irrigation consumes 75 to 80 per cent of water resources, saving in water for irrigation would benefits other sectors. Water saving measures are also more important in context of growing population and water scarcity. To improve upon performance of irrigation sector, which is wholly governed by government, a total approach involving policy reforms, technological and managerial interventions has been adopted. All-round measures which include capacity building of personnel as well as institutions, also public awareness campaign to p romote participation of users, have been undertaken. The reforms in irrigation sector have received general acceptance, its successful implementation has resulted in remarkable water saving. The reforms have also improved financial performance of irrigation project, with irrigation assessment and recovery matching with O & M expenses. - Reproduced. |
