Sinnar Taluka Overview

  • Nashik district: large vegetable producing district
  • Sinnar Water situation

– Rainshadow region of the western ghats – Largely dry and drought prone with drinking water scarcity – Highest groundwater exploited taluka in Nashik district

Sinnar Taluka - Rainfall

  • Taluka average

annual rainfall 616 mm

  • Steady decline in

past 10 years (382mm,

122% received so far in 2017 monsoon)

  • High regional

differences from west to east

Sinnar block cropping pattern

  • Significant area under

foodgrains (45%) and oilseeds (16%)

  • Increasing vegetable

cultivation (from 13% of cultivable land in 2008-09 to 18% as of 2014)

  • Kharif crops: bajra, soyabean,
  • nions, vegetables, maize,

peanuts (also tur, cotton sowing)

  • Rabi crops: wheat, harbhara,
  • nions, vegetables

Sinnar Taluka – Changing trends

  • Changing trends in cropping pattern

– Shift towards cash crops including horticulture

  • per acre more crop/more cash, greater market dependence

– Move towards higher water infrastructure for assured access

  • High well density, horizontal bores, farm ponds, increasing

distance from water source to farm (multi-stage pumping)

  • drip irrigation, sprinklers
  • Rising cost of per unit water => more incentive for cash

crops

  • What is the impact of this on low-irrigation farmers? Do the overall

gains offset the losses in the region?

  • Promotion of horticulture: is it sustainable? Can it be done sustainably?
  • Allocation of irrigation water : how do we ensure Per drop more crop

across the region?

Working of DBI

DBI

  • Key design consideration:

– Slope determines the extent of command area – Canal opening designed based on flowrate required to meet irrigation needs of command area assumes a cropping pattern

  • Low cost irrigation system but offers few controls
  • Beneficiaries

– Direct irrigation through chari – Indirect benefit from groundwater recharge in wells

  • Kharif dry-spell protection and increase in soil moisture for

Rabi

  • Cost-benefit analysis

– How is command area cropping pattern different from non- command? effect of river or DBI? – Are yields different? Effect of soil type or DBI? – Impact on drinking water? Water scarce zones?

Sinnar taluka: Challenges and way forward

  • Ensure drinking water security
  • Ensure access to protective irrigation during

Kharif dry spell

  • Improve allocation of irrigation water to

increase area under Rabi crop

  • Promote appropriate cropping pattern to

improve farm income while meeting water budget constraints

  • Promote non-farm livelihoods

Field Trip Plan

  • Visit Konambe dam
  • Visit Yuva Mitra

– Interaction with founder, Mr. Sunil Pote and his team – Interaction with the MLA

  • Village visit

– Understand DBI structure, canal operation, – Farmer surveys in command area

Domain Decomposition-By surface flows

The watershed W (x) of a point x is W (x) = {all points y from where surface water flows to x}. For any two points x, y either W (x) ⊆ W (y) or W (x) ∩ W (y) is a thin set. Decomposition of Domain into disjoint union of watersheds.

How does water flow on a slope?

flow of water surface normal iso−height gravity water drop

Elevation e(x, y), then flow direction is ∇e = (− ∂e

∂x , − ∂e ∂y ) and

normal is [− ∂e

∂x , − ∂e ∂y , 1]. Direction of steepest descent.

Enough to check when e(x, y) = ax + by + c

Decomposition

watershed(p)=all points from where water flows to p. Either watershed(p) is disjoint with watershed (q) Or watershed(p) ⊆ watershed (q) This may be used to decompose a terrain into disjoint watersheds of appropriate sizes.
