2. Historical
( DBI Organization Background )
Background of project Region
DBI approach in Vidharbha Region-
Major crop – Cotton / Rice in eastern Vidarbha ( 75% CC area)
Irrigation - 95% Rainfed Agriculture
Rainfall – 800-2000 MM ( Erratic )
3. What is Phad Irrigation system? -DBI
Traditional - Phad System – Marathwada/Nashik
,Panzara River?
This is very low cost small irrigation system manage by
Small group of farmers ( WUG) in which the flowing water in
the river/Nallas is diverted to nearby field through PVC
pipeline or open channel for protective irrigation of crop.
4. Objectives of Phad System
To develop low cost irrigation system that can be
replicable at wider scale.
To double crop production of ICA under Project.
Utilization of rainwater for protective irrigation in
kharip crop .
Rabbi / Summer crop in Good Year

10. Scope of Phad
Huge potential in Eastern Vidarbha
Cotton is major crop need two support
watering only.
Undulating topography -/ hilly region
