Irrigation system development results in improvements of farmers' economy, followed by livelihood sustainability, standard of living and social attitude. Present analysis focused on socio-economic status of farming families in the command area of Baroda Branch Canal of Som Kamla Amba Irrigation Project. The study considered survey sampling of 10 per cent beneficiaries in the Baroda branch canal command which consisted 150 farming families having 787 persons in numbers. The socio-economic indicators viz., the family structures, employment pattern, education status, livestock ownership, farm asset distribution, cost of cultivation, and cost of returns were analysed.  Results indicated that education and living standards are of farmers was low which may be one of the reasons for not adoption of newly farming technologies. Cost of cultivation per hectare for wheat, barley, gram, and mustard crops were found as Rs. 28,503.00, Rs. 26,727.00, Rs. 21,184.00 and Rs. 21,697.00, respectively and net benefits per hectare obtained from these crops were Rs. 13,297, Rs. 13,023, Rs. 14,416 and Rs. 18,303, respectively. The pattern of ownership of livestock showed that the average number of cows in the command area was about 1.97 per family. The productivity in the area is average due to low inputs use.

Area Development

Many large irrigation projects in Nepal operate under command area development works that emphasize on-farm water distribution and management. These projects have specific design characteristics that were planned to comply with available water resources, climatic conditions, soil type, and water distribution technology. The water distribution technologies differ based on the design needs of each individual project and the design preferences of various foreign consulting firms. This article focuses on the issues of planning and designing water distribution systems of large irrigation systems at the irrigation service delivery level. The layout planning of an irrigation system is an important aspect of design for water distribution, typically guided by hierarchical system. This article also highlights the existing canal hierarchy of these systems and their appropriateness for efficient water distribution. Furthermore, the appropriateness of the structured system is also examined in the Sunsari Morang Irrigation Project. The article concluded with some suggestions for planning and designing command area development works of forthcoming large irrigation projects such as the Sikta Irrigation Project, the Babai Irrigation Project, and the Mahakali Irrigation Project Stage-III.HYDRO Nepal JournalJournal of Water, Energy and EnvironmentIssue: 19Page: 25-30

Agriculture is most important resources of any country worldwide which is a major renewable source and is dynamic. The study area selected was command area under Basavanna canal which is one of the canals to Tungabhadra river on right side bank. This selected canal for cropping pattern analysis has a command of 1240.00 hectare and is located at Vallabhpur, Bellary district. Basavanna canal has a designed discharge capacity of 125 cusecs for serving the cropping area. Every irrigation project has planned cropping pattern, the crop water requirement (CWR) for which is calculated based on Duty / Delta method. However due to growing population and increase demand for food products crop violation is found in every command leading to more irrigation. Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques have emerged as powerful tools for crop water management. Remotely sensed land use-land cover data was used for analysing the cropping pattern in the area and also to estimate the change in the cropping pattern. This study was performed using ArcGIS 9.3 and ERDAS 9 software. Crop water requirement was calculated using Modified Penman Equation for present cropping pattern. The study finds that, approximately 50% of water could be saved using modified Penmen method compared to crop water requirement calculated using Duty Delta method as adopted in project report and the same water may be diverted to meet other needs

The Impact

As an agrarian economy Nepal, irrigation is most important to achieve economic development. This research analyzes the impact of Bagmati irrigation project (BIP) in the command area. A comparative study of the output, employment, income and other variables related to the irrigated and un-irrigated agricultural land within and outside the Bagmati irrigation project area has led to positive result. This study found that agricultural productivity increases from 19.32 percent to 102.78 percent in different crops. Likewise irrigation seems to have contributed to increase employment, investment, net income.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ejdi.v15i1-2.11854Economic Journal of Development Issues Vol. 15 & 16 No. 1-2, pp. 1-14

Multi-objective fuzzy linear programming (MOFLP) approach is applied with four conflicting objectives, viz maximization of net benefits, employment generation, minimization of cost of cultivation and maximization of revenue generation from municipal and industrial supplies (M and I), on a water resources project (Ukai), Gujarat, India. The results from the model are reported for the most critical year (90% exceedance probability), critical year (85% exceedance probability), normal year (75% exceedance probability), and wet year (60% exceedance probability) inflow conditions. The degree of satisfaction of the proposed MOFLP model, considering all objectives together, for wet year, normal year, critical year and most critical year are found to be 0.527, 0.515, 0.50, and 0.46 respectively; and corresponding net irrigation benefits for different inflow conditions are computed as 10 611.91 Million Rs, 10 476.67 Million Rs, 8 311.0044 Million Rs, and 6 900.051 Million Rs, respectively. The proposed MOFLP model indicated that probable inflow corresponding to 75% dependability level is marginally sufficient to meet the requirement of the study area, and water availability becomes deficit in the command area for 85% dependability inflow condition. The optimized crop areas from the model, complying with the requirement of existing flood rules, and satisfying relevant conflicting objectives would help the decision makers in sustainable management of water resources in Ukai command area.

The agriculture sector plays vital role in overall socio-economic status of India. The involvement of Indian population in agriculture and associated activities is 54.6% (census 2011). The net cropped area is 43% of entire geographical region of India and area under irrigation is 68 million hectares. However, availability of water is an important for agriculture. The supply of water to agriculture field is known as irrigation, in traditional irrigation method there is wastage of water. The evapotranspiration (ET) is combined technique, in this wetness of soil is lost in the form of evaporation in atmosphere and plants absorbing water from soil is transferred to atmosphere. Evapotranspiration depends on uncertain parameters like radiation of solar, temperature of air, speed of wind and humidity. Thus, in this research work a smart fuzzy control water irrigation system is designed to tackle uncertain situations maintaining proper water level as per requirements of crops.

Background: Aim of the study was to identify awareness among parturient women about the advantages of postpartum sterilization and common factors associated with its refusal. This study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, GGS Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot. A cross-sectional study in women who delivered between August 2020 and March 2021 and gave consent. Methods: A total of 200 patients who refused postpartum sterilization were included as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection included a questionnaire to assess their knowledge for this procedure and the reasons for refusal, age, socio-economic status, education status, occupation of head of family, family income, awareness of advantages and disadvantages and also prevalence of various misconceptions.Results: The 38 cases (19%) of refusals were of 20-24 years age group with maximum incidence 38.5% in 25-29 years. The chief reason for refusal was the desired chance for male child in next pregnancy resulting in maximum refusals 143 out of 200 (72%). Socioeconomic factors, educational background and work profile of the patients and family members also had influence in the decision of refusal. There were certain misconceptions in relation to refusals with almost 90% gave no preference to vasectomy, possibility of weight gain in 51%, disturbance in carrying daily work routine in 84%.Conclusions: This study suggests need of better counselling by the healthcare workers to implement small family norm which in turn can aid to reduce maternal mortalities.
