AGRICULTURE AND IRRIGATION

IRRIGATION.
Irrigation plays an important role in stepping up agricultural production. Perennial source of irrigation serves as an insurance against drought. Realising this the Government as also the cultivators themselves have long been trying to equip lands with a permanent source of water-supply. About the irrigational facilities that prevailed in 1908 or even earlier, the old Gazetteer of the district has to say the following[Central Provinces District Gazetteers, Yeotmal District, Vol. A, 1908, p. 112]: —
"The area of irrigated land varies from year to year but is always very little. The average of the last five years is just over 10,000 acres, of which more than 8,000 acres are in Darwha taluk. About 500 acres of this, chiefly in Wun taluk, are irrigated by means of a channel, from a river or tank, patasthal bagayat. All the rest is irrigated from wells, motas-that bagayat. Only about 300 acres of rice land are irrigated from rivers or tanks, and all the remainder is garden land irrigated from wells. Almost every village of any size has one or two patches of such garden land, with plantains and other fruits and vegetables growing in it. Many of the rivers contain water for only a part of the year, and others have such high banks that they are not suitable for irrigation. At some places, especially at Widul in Pusad taluk, hollows are made in the beds of streams and the water is hoisted up from them in the same way as it is taken from a well. Superstition prevents people from interfering with some rivers lest the tutelary deity of the river should afflict their womenfolk with barrenness ".
However, it was then observed that a very small number of
cultivators in the district used to take irrigated crops. In spite
of the encouragement given by a low rate of assessment very
little irrigation was practised. Well-irrigation was much more common than the
other kind.
In 1966, there were about 59 irrigation works which together irrigated an area of 21,582 acres. These works were divided into two categories. Those which irrigated an area less than 250 acres and were looked after by the Zilla Parishad and others which were under the control of the Yeotmal Irrigation Division. The latter works were again divided into two groups viz., the minor irrigation projects and the medium irrigation projects. The Zilla Parishad irrigation works numbered 41 and irrigated an area of 439 acres. However of the 41 works only 19 works irrigated the said area. Of the 19 works, 9 were in Pusad tah'sil, 4 in Wani tahsil and the remaining 6 works were in Darwha
tahsil. The minor and medium irrigation works together irrigated an area of 21,143 acres. Below given is the description of important irrigation projects in the district.
Durug Tank.
This earthen dam is located near the village Durug in Yeotmal tahsil. The construction work of the dam was completed in 1965. Its construction cost amounted to Rs. 13.3 lakhs. The area under command and that actually irrigated were 2,532 and 1,673 acres, respectively. The length of the dam is 16.37 chains with a maximum height of 63'. The waste weir is flush har type and is 200' in length. The length of the left hank main canal is 147 chains. The lands within the revenue limits of six villages, viz., Durug, Rasa, Dattapur, Jondhalni, Kalamb and Bori are irrigated. In 1965-66 however the lands were not irrigated as the reservoii did not fill up due to scanty rainfall in that year.
Dahegaon Bandhara.
This bandhara is located near Dahegaon in Wani tahsil. Its
estimated cost amounts to Rs. 2.94 lakhs. The area commanded by this bandhara and the actual area irrigated are estimated at 2,555 acres and 1,500 acres, respectively. The length of this bandhara is 500' with a maximum height of 10'.6". The right bank canal is 198 chains in length. The villages, Murdhoni, Ganeshpur, Palsoni and Chikalgaon would get the benefit of this irrigation scheme.
Muchi Tank.
This tank is near Manguda village in Kelapur tahsil. Its estimated cost is Rs. 8.12 lakhs. The area commanded and the area irrigated are estimated at 1,300 acres and 960 acres, respectively. This is an earthen tank, 13 chains in length with a maximum height of 57'. The flush bar type waste weir is 200' long and the left bank canal is 314 chains in length.
Pophali Tank.
This tank is near Pophali village in Pusad tahsil. Its estimated cost is Rs. 6.78 lakhs. The area commanded and the area irrigated are estimated at 1,500 and 740 acres, respectively. This is an earthen bund with a maximum height of 39.11 feet and a length of 2,600 feet. Its flush bar type waste weir is 212' in length. The length of its main canal is 110 chains.
Taroda Tank.
This is an earthen tank near Taroda village in Pusad tahsil. Its estimated cost amounts to Rs. 7.29 lakhs. The area commanded and the actual area irrigated are estimated at 2,000 acres and 900 acres, respectively. It is 1,888' in length with a maximum height of 46'. Its flush bar type waste weir is 300' in length.
Ningnoor Tank
This irrigation tank is situated near Ningnoor village in Pusad tahsil. Its commanded area and the area irrigated are 3,923 and 1,528 acres, respectively. This is an earthen tank, 3,500' in length. Its maximum height is 61'. The flush bar type waste weir is 450' in length. About 15 villages from Mahagaon-Umarkhed block will get the benefit from this tank.
Information regarding the rest of the minor irrigation works in the district is given below: —

I. Figures in brackets indicate area in acres.
This is a medium irrigation project located near the village Lingti in Kelapur tahsil. The estimated cost of the project amounts to Rs. 115.46 lakhs. The area commanded and the area irrigated by this project would be 15,000 and 9,000 acres, respectively.
Saikheda Project.
It is an earthen dam 5,610' in length with a maximum height
of 70'. The length of its ogee type weir is 785'. The canals run on either side of the dam and measure 16 miles each. About 16 villages of the tahsil would get the benefit from this irrigation work. The project will completely submerge the village Vrindavan Takli and partly submerge the village Wagad.
The following table gives the tahsil-wise break-up for irrigated areas by sources of irrigation. It can be noted that except for negligible portion of land which is irrigated by tanks and canals the entire irrigation in the district is done by wells. Water is lifted with the help of mots or the oil-engines. The number of oil-engines has increased from 99 in 1951 to 883 in 1965-66. Table Nos. 24 and 25 give the irrigated area under food crops and non-food crops in the district.
