Water Users Cooperative Societies

The aim of establishing/strengthening Water Users Cooperative Societies (WUCS) is to promote Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) for increasing water use efficiency and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Post modernization, it is planned to hand over management of canal system to WUCS.

WUCS Performance Assessment

The performance assessment of the eleven(11) WUCS in the Gondi Irrigation System is monitored through baseline surveys. The first assessment carried out during September/October 2016 revealed that most of the WUCS were dormant. As of December 2019, thirteen baseline assessments have been conducted. There is a significant progress seen against the 29 parameters framed to monitor performance of the WUCS. Most of the WUCS are now active. All the WUCS are implementing the Command Area Development (CAD) works involving lining of the Field Irrigation Channels and construction of cross drainage structures.
