20. State Perspective Strategy Plan Total geographical area275.00 lakhs ha. Total area of identified Micro watersheds.158.29 lakh ha. Area already covered by RD & other Depts.47.91 lakhs ha. Balance area to be covered under IWMP110.38 lakh ha. Contd……

21. State Perspective Strategy Plan (Contd…) To cover in 2009-104.50 lakh ha. To cover in the balance XI plan period11.00 lakh ha. To cover in XII plan period24.91 lakh ha.

22. Prioritization Process for selection of IWMP WS GoI indicated tentative allocation of 4.40 lakh ha. Proposed to take up one IWMP watershed in each of 110 DDP/DPAP blocks of 12 districts in 2009-10. In each DDP / DPAP blocks mandals were prioritized based on the criteria of GoI. PDs got these prioritized lists approved by the DRCs with few modifications. Contd…….

23. Prioritization Process for selection of IWMP WS (contd….) In the mandal prioritized (and approved by DRC) in each of the DDP/DPAP blocks, hydro geological units of 4000-5000 ha were delineated. The maps of these delineated clusters (IWMP Watersheds) were sent to PDs for incorporating GP Boundaries. Forest Areas. Areas already covered under watersheds. Certain basic data of the villages falling in these IWMP watersheds was obtained from PDs for PPRs.

26. Preliminary Project Report Contained the details of Agro climatic conditions. Land use pattern with areas. Soil types, Topography, Rainfall, Major Crops. Flood and Drought Occurrence. Soil erosion detail, Runoff intensity. Summary of present livelihoods and possible interventions. Wage employment status & Migration status. Ground water status; Drinking water availability & quality. Major crops & their Productivity & Expected Post Project Productivity.

27. IWMP watersheds sanctioned for 2009-10 110 IWMP Watersheds covering a total area of 4.73 lakh ha were sanctioned by GoI. The funds towards the part of 1 st installment are released to the DWMAs. DPRs need to be got prepared by end of January, 2010 to get the balance release of 1 st installment.

28. PIA It was decided to designate the MPPs (MPDOs) as PIAs. Project Directors were informed accordingly & requested to appoint MPDOs as PIAs.

29. Detailed Project Report Guidelines & Module for DPR preparation are developed. For each IWMP Watersheds, one senior & experienced TA will be allotted to be with the planning team. 110 senior TAs are identified & they will be trained from 2 nd to 7 th December. Consortium meeting is being convened on 1 st December, 2009 to seek their help. One day orientation is being planned for PDs and APDs of the 12 DDP/DPAP district. Contd..

30. Detailed Project Report (Contd….) Members of ROs will be trained in 2 nd week of December. Planning process will start in 3 rd week of December, and will be completed by 15 th of February, 2010. DPRs will be prepared village wise with UG wise sub plans and consolidated for each IWMP clusters. Each village may take 8-10 days and each cluster of 6 villages (average) may take 48-60 days.

33. Maps The maps prepared for PPRs need to be revisited to make corrections where needed. Village boundaries & micro watershed boundaries need to be superimposed on them. These tasks will be completed in CRD Office by the GIS Cell. Contd…

34. Maps (Contd….) Thematic maps with following theme will be got prepared by APSARC or NRSA. Soil Resources. Land capability & Irrigabiity. Erosion status & Extent of soil loss. Geology and structure. Ground water potential zones. Slopes. Land use / land cover & NIDVI analysis. Long term rainfall analysis for rainfall Erosovity determination. Cadastral details superimposed on thematic maps.
