2. Back Ground:-
DBI:A diversion based irrigation system is one which diverts a
portion of water from a natural stream/water course/river and
uses it with or without intermediate storage along the gravity for
the purpose of irrigating crops , domestic uses and drinking
water.
• SDTT has been supporting NGOs to implement the programme
on DBI since 2009 to promote the development of small scale
irrigation through diversion of water from stream. The 1st Phase
completed in 2012 and 2nd phase will be continuing up to March
2015.
•The DBI Secretariat set up in Bhubaneswar and housed in
Livolink Foundation, and functioning as an extended arm of the
Trust in programme. Major activities-Technical Support to
NGOs, Coordination, Publications on technical aspects,
Monitoring and Capacity Building of NGOs.

4. Irrigationstructure-AharPyne
Ahar-Pyne
Ahar pye system is an indigenous irrigation technology of
South Bihar. An Ahar is a rectangular embankment type water
harvesting structure, i.e. a catchment basin embankment on
three sides & fourth side being the natural gradient of land
itself and pyne are the irrigation channels.
5. Irrigationstructure-Dong
Dong:These are traditional irrigation system of plains of Assam.It is
one type of channel based DBI, Where de silting, renovation, widening
and dredging of the existing canal system is done.The earthen canal and
the distributaries are revived to increase its capacity( conveyance
system).Partner NGOs-Grameen Sahara/Gyama Vikash Manch
implemented Dong under DBI Programme.
6. Irrigationstructure-Gonchi
GONCHI:Gonchi is a diversion based irrigation system developed by the
local people and it is an indigenous method of Irrigation to share surface
water diverted from natural streams and rivers with the help of gravity.
At the head of these channels, farmers prepared large pits (locally called
talipiri) on stream / river bed from which the oozed water will be diverted to
the channel by gravity flow. It is practiced in parts of Andhra Pradesh for
over three centuries.
NGOs-CWS/RIID implemented Gonchi under DBI Programme in
Anatapuram district of Andra Pradesh.
7. TANKA/ KUND/ KUNDI: In the desert and arid areas of
Rajasthan & Gujarat, people build unique underground
structures of various shapes and sizes to collect rain water for
drinking purposes. These structures called Tankas, Kund or
Kundis. These are constructed in a different places like court
yards, in front of houses and temples, in open agricultural fields,
barren land etc. Partner NGOs-BAIF,GMK & FES
implemented Dong under DBI Programme

8. •Irrigationstructure-PBGFI Pipe based Gravity Fed Irrigation System(PBGFI)
A pipe based gravity fed irrigation diversion based irrigation system is one
which diverts a portion of water from a natural stream/water course/river
though pipe conveyance system along the gravity to the point of use at down
stream.
•It reduces the water losses by evaporation, conveyance and seepage. Runoff
can not enter in to it. It will not affect agricultural operation though buried
underground.
•It does not require any energy like gasoline/electricity. It is environment
friendly (zero emission).
•It is easy to implement (Short duration) and maintain by the community.
•The average cost of the
project per acre is Rs. 10,000
including agriculture support.
Where as in MI scheme
Cost is about Rs. 65,000/acre
Most of the partners under DBI
Involved in PBGFI.
9. •Irrigationstructure-PBGFI Pipe based Gravity Fed Irrigation System(PBGFI)
Objectives:-
•Protective Irrigation in dry spell of Kharif season.
•Assured irrigation in Rabi season(If source is perennial).
•Water supply for domestic use at HH level
• Ensuring considerable safe drinking water by incorporating
low cost sand filtration system.
• Addressing the issue of women drudgery
• Promoting homestead kitchen garden by providing water at
door step.
10. OUTREACH
The programme is being implemented by 39 NG0 partners &
36 Co-partners across 950 villages in 49 districts of 13 states

19. Innovative projects under DBI
Hydraulic Ram Pump system
A hydraulic ram pump is a device, which uses the energy of falling
water to lift a lesser amount of water to a higher elevation than the
source.
Low cost
No fuel/electricity needed
Runs 24 hours per day
Low maintenance
Environment Friendly
