RIDF-NABARD/02/DUMKA/2015-16


Introduction
RIDF-NABARD project is a watershed development project supported by Govt. of Jharkhand and implemented by PRAVAH. The project is started on FY-2016-17 in 90 villages of 3 Blocks Jama & Jarmundi of Dumka District and Palojoi of Deogahr district. Here is the detail mention below-

A Watershed
Watershed is a geo hydrological unit surrounded by a ridgeline in which all the rain water comes through a common Outlet/River.


Importance of Soil and Water

  1. Soil & Water are the most valuable Natural Resources exist on the Earth Surface for Sustainable Agricultural Development.
  2. It requires 1000 Years to develop 25 mm/ 1 inch Surface Soil from Parent Materials through Natural Processes.
  3. One Rainy Season is sufficient enough to erode valuable top soils and washed out rain water.
  4. Conservation of Soil & Water plays vital role for successful implementation of Watershed Management Programme in Jharkhand state.

Why Watershed Needed

1. National level
a. Only 12% of rainwater is being used in country the rest flows into sea.
b. Only 10% of surface water and 90% of groundwater are being used for drinking purposes.
c. The World Bank estimates that by the year 2025, 3.25 billion people in 52 countries will live in conditions of water shortage.
d. India Share globally Hume resource 16%, livestock 15% and the Water resource is 4%.

2. In Jharkhand
a. Due to very undulation in land to much soil erosion will occur.
b. in Jharkhand there is good rain fall. (Ls 1000ml-1200ml/Year) but there is shortage of Water.
c. Excess of wasteland and fallow land.
d. Decrease in Agriculture productivity. And also decrease in Livestock productivity.
e. Maximum Nos. of trebles and small farmers.
f. Lake of Knowledge.

Objectives
1. To control damaging runoff.
2. To protect, conserve and improve the land resources for efficient and sustained production.
3. To moderate floods in the down-stream area.
4. To protect and enhance water resources, reduce silting up of tanks and conserving rain water.
5. To increase the ground water recharge through in-situ conservation measures & water harvesting structures.
6. To utilize the natural local resources for improving agriculture and allied occupation so as to improve the socio-economic condition of the beneficiary.

Principle of Watershed

  1. Ridge to valley approach of Treatment - Upper, Middle and Lower land.
  2. Follow Contour line.
  3. Drainage Line Treatment.
  4. Use of land according to its capability.
  5. Participatory Planning – DPR Preparation.
  6. Formation of different institutions – Watershed Committees, Self Help Group, Users Group.
  7. Watershed approach/Cluster approach having 5000 Ha areas facilitation through WDT (Engineer, Social scientist, Livelihood and Accountant).

TCB
TCB is improved version of Field bunding constructed in the Fellow and Westland .It is constructed for Harvesting of rain water and to improved moisture level of soil and also to reduce soil erosion and run off rain water.


Snaps of TCB

Pond
Pond is a water harvesting structure. Constructed for harvest rain water and store water for the other season. Water will used for Agriculture purpose, Fishery purpose and also helps in to improve ground water level.


Loose Boulder Structure
loose boulder structure is a small check dam constructed in small drainage line where water comes in only rainy season. It is constructed of only boulders. The main purposes of these structures are to reduce velocity of runoff comes through drainage line and to reduce soil erosion. And improve soil moisture level.


Drum Check Dam
Drum Check Dam is constructed in drainage line where water flow over the year. It is a low cost structure. Main purpose of the structure is to reduce velocity of water and reduce soil erosion of drainage line and give strength to drainage line. It also used as a water harvesting structure.



Masonry Check Dam
Its work just likes the Drum Check Dam. It is constructed in Big Drainage line where water comes in high speed.
