Irrigation Efficiency
Water conveyance Efficiency
It takes into account, conveyance or transit losses such as seepage through canal and evaporation through it.
η_c=W_f/W_r ×100
Where, Wf = water delivered to the field
Wr = water delivered from river or stream
Water Application Efficiency
It is the ratio of water stored in root zone to the water delivered to the field.
η_a=W_s/W_f ×100
Where, WS = water weight stored in root zone
WS = Wf – deep percolation – runoff
Wf = water delivered to the field
This efficiency is also called as farm efficiency and it depends on the irrigation technique that has been adopted.
Water use efficiency
It is the ratio of water used beneficially or consumptively to the water delivered to the field.
η_u=W_u/W_f ×100
Where, Wf = water delivered to the field
WU = consumptively used water
Water Storage Efficiency
This is the ratio of actual water stored in the root zone to the water needed to be stored to bring the moisture content upto field capacity.
Water Distribution efficiency
This evaluate the degree to which water is uniformly distributed to the root zone throughout the field area.
η_d=(1-y/d)×100
Where, d = average depth
y = Average numerical deviation in the depth of water stored from the average depth stored during irrigation
Question – the depths of penetration along the length of a border strip at points 30 m apart were proved. There observed values are 2 m, 1.9 m, 1.8 m, 1.6 m and 1.5 m. Compute the water distribution efficiency.
Solution –
Water distribution efficiency,
η_d=(1-y/d)×100
Where, d = average depth
d = (2+1.9+1.8+1.6+1.5)/5=1.76
And y = average numerical deviation
y = 1/5((2-1.76)+(1.9-1.76)+(1.8-1.76)+(1.76-1.6)+(1.76-1.5)=0.168
Therefore,
η_d=(1-0.168/1.76)×100
η_d=90.45%
Consumptive Use Efficiency
It is the ratio of water used consumptively to the net amount of water from the root zone.
Levels in planning, Functional requirements of water resources projects, steps in
water resources planning, Environmental aspects in water resources planning.
Check dams- a strategy to check siltation and sedimentation from catchment areas into nearby water bodies. Its mode of action, types, advantages and disadvantages.
This presentation deals with Watershed Management In India and areas where there is scope of development. It also talks about a solution and our urges that our approach should be based on sustainability.
This presentation is targeted to the community development practitioners who are working in various field of human welfare as livelihood improvement, human health, water and sanitation, renewable energy etc. this presentation intends to expand their understanding on climate change. Climate change issues are multisectoral and require a multi-stakeholder consultation and action in order to apply adaption and mitigation schemes. It needs to be thought broadly that the problem they are addressing might be the impacts of climate change. Community development workers are the agents of change. They must start advocating on 2°C warmer world as their dissemination of information are quite effective than other means and media.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Regarding Water Resource
Background :
About 67% of the freshwater is used in irrigation
for the production of food grains worldwide.
One in three people are already facing water
shortages (IPCC,2007).
Nepal has abundant water resources, with annual
discharge of total 150 billion m3, and capable of
irrigating 6-8 MT/ha.
Hydropower potential is 83000 MW. Out of this,
45610 MW have been identified as economically
feasible (WECS 2011)
Less than 8% of the country’s water potential is
used for irrigation (WECS, 2011)
4. History of Irrigation Schemes
Agrarian communities in the Terai used to involve
in irrigation development and management much
before the 6th century B.C.
In 17th Century, a number of Raj Kulo were built
with the initiative and financial support from the
state.
During early period of irrigation development,
farmers themselves used to divert water from
streams and rivers to farm lands
Between 19th a first half of 20th century, a large
number of irrigation facilities were already
developed by local farmers by using their local
resources.
Its planned development began only after 1951.
The Department of Irrigation (DOI) was
established in 1952.
The 7th five-year plan (1985 - 90) brought a major
change in irrigation development

22. Introduction
• Water resources are sources of water that are potentially useful.
• Uses of water
include agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and
activities.
• Four major river basins : Koshi , Gandaki, Karnali, and
Mahakali
• Avg. annual precipitation - 1530 mm
• Total surface water - 220 billion m3
• Nepal possesses about 2.27 % of world fresh water
• 80 % of rainfall in summer ( June - September )
• 20 % of rainfall in winter ( October - May )
23. Water Resource Management
• Water resource management is the activity of
planning, developing, distributing and managing the
optimum use of water resources.
• Ideally, water resource management planning has
regard to all the competing demands for water and
seeks to allocate water on an equitable basis to satisfy
all uses and demands.
• Although Nepal has 225 BCM of water available
annually, only a small part of it (estimated at 15
BCM) has so far been utilized for economic and
social purposes.
• Until now, Nepal has utilized mainly medium and
small rivers for different uses such as drinking water,
irrigation and hydropower.
• Most of the drinking water systems in the hill areas
are gravity flow systems using natural spring water.
24. • The Water Resources Management Programme (WARM-P) evolved in the year
2001 by incorporating the substantial experience and learning accumulated by its
predecessor programmes, the Community Water Supply and Sanitation Programme
(1976-1994) and the Self Reliant Drinking Water Support Programme (1995-2000).
• The scope and mandate of WARM-P has been broadened from water and sanitation
towards integrated water resources management
• USAID defines IWRM as a participatory planning and implementation process,
based on sound science that brings the stakeholders together to determine how to
meet society’s long-term needs for water and coastal resources while maintaining
essential ecological services and economic benefits.
• IWRM helps to protect the world’s environment, foster economic growth and
sustainable agricultural development, promote democratic participation in
governance, and improve human health.
Water Resource Management
25. Uses by State and Communities
• The government has been encouraging public sector participation in the
water resource development.
• The initiation through the users by forming Water Users Associations
(WUA) is given more importance for the government support.
• The government has the policy of encouraging the community participation
in the development, operation and maintenance of drinking water supply
systems.
• As a result, a number of communities are taking up the leading role in the
development of drinking water project in most of the rural areas.
26. Contd…
• Besides, a number of NGOs, INGOs and donor agencies are also working in making
the provision of drinking water accessible those who have been facing problems of
access to safe drinking water.
• The hydropower development in Nepal began with the development of 500 kW
Pharping power plant in 1911.
• The government has opened up the policy for the maximization of the private sector's
involvement in hydropower development and expansion of rural electrification with
people's participation and development of the fund.
• Now a number of micro-hydropower projects and some hydropower projects are being
developed privately.
• In the context of increasing energy crisis, the government is seeking to attract private
sector’s investment in the development of hydropower.
27. Principal components of IWRM
• Managing water resources at the basin or watershed scale.
• Optimizing supply.
• Managing demand.
• Providing equitable access to water resources through participatory and
transparent governance and management.
• Establishing improved and integrated policy, regulatory and institutional
frameworks
• Utilizing an inter- sectoral approach to decision-making,
28. Specific objectives of Water Resource Strategy
• To help reduce the incidence of poverty,
unemployment and under-employment;
• To provide people with access to safe and
adequate drinking water and sanitation for
ensuring health security;
• To increase agricultural production and
productivity, ensuring food security of the nation;
• To generate hydropower to satisfy national
energy requirements and to allow export of
surplus energy;
• To supply the needs of the industrial and other
sectors of the economy;
• To facilitate water transport, particularly
connection to a sea port;
• To protect the environment and conserve the
biodiversity of natural habitat; and
• To prevent and mitigate water-induced disasters.
