MANAGEMENT
• The programme was launched in 1974-75 and was restructured and renamed
as Command Area Development and Water Management (CADWM)
Programme from 1st April 2004.
• The main objective of CAD&WM Programme is to enhance utilization of
irrigation potential created and improve agriculture productivity and
production on a sustainable basis through integrated and coordinated
approach involving multidisciplinary team.

additional resources for expanding
coverage under micro irrigation
As on 31 October 2020, the
cumulative sanction and release
under MIF stands at Rs. 3805.68
and Rs. 1094.90 crore, respectively.
This will help these State Govts. in
their efforts to expand micro

• National Water Policy is formulated by the Ministry of Water Resources of
the Government of India to govern the planning and development of
water resources and their optimum utilization.
• The first National Water Policy was adopted in September, 1987. It was
reviewed and updated in 2002 and later in 2012.

• In june 7,2012- ministry of water resource published the draft in water policy
2012.
1. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DRAFT NWP
– The principle of social justice must inform the use and
allocation of water.
– A common integrated perspective should govern the
planning and management of water resources.
– For the conservation,water may be treated as an economic
asset.
– River basin should be considered as the basic hydrological
unit.
ANGRAU
AGRON-605
IRRIGATION
MANAGEMENT NATIONAL WATER POLICY-2012

2.Enhancing water available for use.
• Rainfall need to be used directly.
• Aquifier need to be mapped to know quality of ground
resources.
• Inter basin transfers need to be encouraged.
• Watershed development activities need to be undertakento
increse soil moisture and water productivity
ANGRAU
AGRON-605
IRRIGATION

3.Water pricing
• Water regulatory authority should be established in
each state.
• Water charges should be determined in a volumetric
manner.
• Recycle and reuse of water should be encouraged.
• WUA should be given powers to collect water charges.
ANGRAU
AGRON-605
IRRIGATION

4.Project planning and implementation
• All clearences required for the project should be made in time.
• Avoid time and cost over runs.
• Local governing bodies such as panchayats,municipalities
etc..should be involved in the planning of projects.
ANGRAU
AGRON-605
IRRIGATION

5.Management of flood and drought.
• Land,soil,energy management with scientific reserch should be
used to evolve different agricultural strategies.
• Revetments,embankments etc..should be constructed to
prevent soil erosion.
• Operating procedures should be evolved and implemented.
ANGRAU
AGRON-605
IRRIGATION
6.Transboundary rivers
• Efforts should be made to enter international aggrements
with neighbouring countries for exchanging hydrological data
of rivers.

7.Research and training needs
• Grants should be given to states to update technology,design
and planning
• An autonomous centre for reserch on water policy should be
established.
• Regular training and academic courses in water
management should be promoted.
• A national campaign for water literacy need to be started.
ANGRAU
AGRON-605
IRRIGATION

8.Implementation of national water policy.
• National water board should prepare a plan based on
national water policy as approved by the national water
resources council.
• State water policies need to be drafted in accordance with
this policy.
