1. Department of Water Resources Government of Orissa

2. Guidelines

3. Objective O r i s s a In stream storage. Ground Water recharge Incidental irrigation during late Khariff and Rabi by storing water at the end of monsoon mainly through lifting devices. Irrigation use of water flowing down drainage channels. Other uses like Drinking water, bathing, washing, fishing, recreation etc.

4. O r i s s a Selection Criteria Blocks having less than 35% irrigation coverage to be considered on priority. Areas where farmers are using traditional irrigation by constructing temporary cross bunds on streams. Where the farmers are willing to take up operation & maintenance of the structure. The newly constructed structure should not have any adverse impact on the hydrological efficacy of the existing, ongoing and future major, medium, minor (flow) irrigation and minor (lift) irrigation projects. In-stream storage will be developed near urban centers if suitable rivers and locations available for multipurpose domestic and irrigation use.

5. Salient Features & Types of Check Dams O r i s s a Check dams, up to a height of 2.0 mt. can be constructed across small tributaries / nallah / drainage channel within the banks and streams in middle and higher reaches (within approx. 50 mts. wide) : Low cost structures, irrigation by beneficiaries through own arrangements - lift or flow, operated by beneficiaries. Diversion weir type structure. Check dams in deltaic rivers/ drainage channel (lower reaches) (within approx 50 mts. wide) : Mostly for irrigation through lift, operated by beneficiaries. Storage across major rivers and streams having higher width and huge flood water discharge: Irrigation purpose, to be operated by Department.

6. Design Aspect O r i s s a Check dams on small streams /nallahs / drainage channel & Deltaic river: All the structures shall be designed as per standard practices for ensuring the safety & economy. Height of these structures - normally within 2.0 m. Storage arrangement through gates of wooden planks/ shutter / sand bags/ pre-stressed concrete slabs. Structures are to be constructed in series to make them more effective by storing more water for attaining their objectives. Check dams on main streams. The design of these structures shall confirm to prevailing codes & references.

7. Implementation Arrangements O r i s s a Existing field units of major & medium sector and minor irrigation sector will implement the scheme following standard extant codal procedures with following stipulations. For Small Check Dams: Percentage basis tender to be invited as per OPWD Vol-I clause 3.5.5(v). Tendering process in case of small check dams to be completed preferably within one month. In case of seriously unbalanced bids additional performance security to be deposited by agencies with the tender and to be kept from agencies during execution. On completion projects will be handed over to Pani Panchayats / farmer groups for management. Consent of farmers to be obtained before / during and after completion of the work. Separate implementation arrangements will be formulated for barrages anicuts across major streams which will be constructed, operated and maintained by the Department.

8. Operation and Maintenance O r i s s a Pani Panchayats (WUAs) should be formed by the beneficiaries of the scheme during the process of selection of site for check dams. The infrastructure once completed in all respects will immediately be handed over to Pani Panchayats (W.U.As) for its operation and maintenance. Department will provide necessary technical support. The Department responsible for execution of the scheme will supply the wooden / steel planks or sand bags once only and demonstrate the operation of putting shutters / planks / sand bags in position and their removal, transportation and maintenance in real field scenario. Contd……

9. Operation and Maintenance O r i s s a It is mandatory that the waterway of check dams constructed across stream / nallah / drainage channel etc. should be free from any obstructions / interventions made by planks / steel shutters / sand bags etc. before onset of the monsoon or later by 5 th of June every year. The Pani Panchayats (W.U.As) are responsible to install lifting arrangement for lifting water from the pond and its conveyance for equitable irrigation to users’ farms. The Pani Panchayats (W.U.As) may install and maintain pipe conduits, taps etc. and take care to make water hygienic, if the water is to be used for drinking purpose.
