This document discusses the implementation of a DBI (Decentralized Basin Irrigation) intervention project in 3 villages to enhance agricultural productivity. The project developed water sources through pipe-based water supply systems and stone beds to protect the pipes. It benefited 151 households, irrigating 144 acres in the rainy season and 77 acres in the winter. Challenges in post-management included strengthening village institutions for asset management. Lessons included selecting appropriate sites, engaging communities, and leveraging other programs. The project aims to promote sustainability through crop diversification, structure maintenance, and protection of catchment areas.

1. WELCOMES
TO THE AGRICULTURE
PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT
THROUGH
DBI INTERVENTION

2. Background
…
 Availability of Natural Water Sources
 Crises of Irrigation during irregular /erratic rainfall
during Kharif season and scarcity of water for
household use.
 Demand from the Community for development of
Water Sources/
 Unutilized Perennial Water Resources
 Small tribal pockets in remote areas debars from
Govt. Water Supply Schemes
 DBI – A low External input based Technology
 DBI – Low investment and High utility, Easy to
manage and maintain by the villagers
