CHAPTER – 1
PROJECT BACKGROUND
DWDU – KUTCH, BHUJ IWMP – 3 8

1.1 Project Background
Umarsar (IWMP-3) project is located in Lakhpat Taluka, Kutch District of Gujarat state. The project is a cluster of four microwatersheds
with 5H2A5c1a, 5H2A5c1b,5H2A5c1c, 5H2A3###,5H2A5c1a, 5H2A5c2a, 5H2A3### being their respective codes. The total
project area of the watershed is about 3668 Ha has been undertaken to be treated under Integrated Watershed Management Programme
(IWMP) starting year 2009-10.
The nearest town is Dayapar which is about 15 -20 Km from Umarsar and is well connected by pucca road. The project area lies in
the edges of salt deserts of Kutch also known as Rann of Kutch. The watershed includes only one village of Umarsar. Darbar communities
are the primary inhabitants of the village. The livelihood of these people is primarily based on rain fed agriculture, animal husbandry, wage
labour, goat and sheep rearing.
The Project area falls under the Desert Prone area according to DoLR Classification. It is a very poor and desolate village on
the border of India and Pakistan. The stretch of unfriendly Rann separates this Indian village from Pakistan. The village of Umarsar was
heavily damaged in a massive earth quake on Jan 26, 2001, the epicentre of which was Bhuj (Kutch). This has resulted in post-relief
activities in the area, especially the newly constructed cement brick houses with asbestos roofing.
Kutch is One of the Most Fragile Eco System of the world and Characterized by arid conditions and high-rish environment. It
has a history of natural calamities, drought being the most common and most server among them. Such calamities and the drought in
particular, directly affected the live hood of the people. These recurring disasters eroded the self sufficiency of the region, with the people
become more depended on the state.

1.2 Need of Watershed Development Programme
Watershed Development Programme is prioritised on the basis of thirteen parameters namely Poverty Index, Percentage of SC/ ST,
Actual wages, Percentage of small and marginal farmers, Ground water status, Moisture Index, Area under rain fed agriculture, Drinking
water situation in the area, Percentage of the degraded land, Productivity potential of the land, Continuity of another watershed that has
already developed/ treated, Cluster approach for plain or for hilly terrain. Based on these thirteen parameters a composite ranking was
given to Umarsar Watershed project as given in table no. 2.
The total number of families under BPL is 1, (1 out of 47) which is less than 0.05 per cent of the total households of the village.
Hence a score of 2.5 is allotted. The percentage of schedule castes in the village is zero per cent to the total population; hence a score of 0
was allotted. Rained agriculture forms the primary occupation of the village due to the fact that ground water is saline and hence unfit for
usage. Less than 50 per cent of the farmers are small and marginal by nature and the actual wages earned by the labour is less than the
minimum wages hence a composite rank of 5, 3 and 5 are allotted respectively.
Since the rainfall received is erratic and irregular, the moisture index is low and the area is classified under DDP block. Drinking
water is problematic in the village. Majority of land is degraded due to inherent salinity and ingress of salt from Ran. The soil is very
permeable and production of the land can be significantly enriched with the availability of timely irrigation. Umarsar watershed falls in
DWDU – KUTCH, BHUJ IWMP – 3 10

continuity with other watershed namely Umarsar, Akari and Pranpar. Cluster approach was followed taking into consideration four microwatersheds
covering a total area of 3668 Ha. Thus a cumulative score of 113.5

2.1. Project Implementing Agency
The Project Implementing Agencies (PIA) is selected by an appropriate mechanism by Gujarat State Watershed Management
Agency (GSWMA), the State Level Nodal Agency (SLNA) for Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) in Gujarat. The PIAs
are responsible for implementation of watershed project. These PIAs may include relevant line departments, autonomous organizations
under State/ Central Governments, Government Institutes/ Research bodies, Intermediate Panchayats, Voluntary Organizations (VOs).The
PIA for Naredi watershed Project is Kutch West Forest Division, Bhuj.
2.2 About Kutch West Forest Division, Bhuj.
2.2.1 The organization and its objectives:
The West forest division is a district level nodal agency of Kutch-Bhuj. It is a one of the main Project Implementing Agency of District
Watershed Development Unit, Kutch Bhuj. Basically Forest Conservation is main objective of Forest department. The District Conservator
of Forest (DCF) is the Head of the Project Implementing Agency. In the PIA level Range Forest Officer is a responsible staff as a Nodal
Officer for project implementation. The PIA has dedicated and experienced staff for day to day project implementation. Technical expert,
Agriculture expert, community mobilization expert, Surveyor, Accountant and Data Entry Operator are Implementing staff under Watershed
Development Team. In (IWMP) Integrated Watershed Management Programme contact the PIA role is supervising, planning, implementing,
documenting and promoting watershed development projects and related developmental activities in the district as per guidelines. The West
Forest department Kutch-Bhuj also works as a PIA in five projects.
2.2.2 Programmes /Projects of Kutch West Forest Division, Bhuj
At present 18 IWMP projects have been sanctioned by Government of India for Kutch-Bhuj district. The entry point activities of all
the 18 IWMP projects have been identified by the respective PIAs in the district. Kutch-Bhuj Forest Division is PIA for 14 projects and
DWDU itself is PIA for rest of the four projects (IWMP-3, 2, 4, 9).
Apart from the 14 IWMP projects West Forest Division have five projects, East Forest Division have five projects and Social Forest
Division have four projects.
DWDU – KUTCH, BHUJ IWMP – 3 18

2.3 SWOT Analysis of the DWDU:
Strength :
(1) Dedicated and experienced staff for project Implementation.
(2) Scientific planning in watershed projects with the help of BISAG, Gandhinagar,
(3) Strong linkages with DWDU, National and state level institutions, Agricultural universities, North Gujarat University and NGOs for
capacity
Building and technical guidance
(4) PIA have permanent and good office and other Infrastructure.
Guidance:
(1) Day to day get support from Multi Disciplinary team of DWDU for prepare PRA, Net Planning and DPR.
(2) Technical support get from BISAG, Gandhinagar and other agency.
(3) Get supports from District level other agency for Convergence purpose.
Limitations:
(1) Project area is located adjoining to Ran of Kutch (saline desert).
(2) Field level project Implementation staff is not permanent so, staff turnover is high.
Opportunities:
(1) A number of different other development schemes of the government are running; so, there can be horizontal integration and
convergence of programmes
(2) Better financial provision under IWMP
(3) Usage of new ICT tools like GIS, GPS
Threats:
(1) Rainfall being very scarce and unreliable in the project area, the activities planned to be taken up may yield limited impact
(2) Irregularities in fund flow can derail the smooth functioning Gujarat State Watershed Management Agency.
(3) Lack of contribution and cooperation from local people
(4) Low literacy rate in the project area.

BASIC INFORMATION OF THE
PROJECT AREA
DWDU – KUTCH, BHUJ IWMP – 3 21

3.1. Geography and Geo-hydrology
3.1.1 Land use pattern:
The net geographical area of Umarsar watershed is about 3864.10 ha out of which 888.00 Ha is forest area. The forest area is
mainly divided into two parts; one part is hilly while other lies in ran of Kutch which is devoid of any sort of vegetation. About 297.90 Ha of
land is under agriculture which is completely rain-fed; mainly a Kharif crop is taken. About 2677.3 Ha of the total land is classified under
wasteland of which 5.50 percent is cultivable and rest is uncultivable and hilly. The watershed consists of thorny species of Prosopis
juliflora which was mainly broadcasted to stop the spread of desert.

The rainfall is scanty which has resulted in recurrent phenomenon of drought in every two to three years. The average rainfall of this area is about 295 mm (Data base
on 1995 to 2005 ten year data). This uneven distribution is leading to runoff of soil every year to the streams, rivulets and depressed area of Ran of Kutch

3.1.3 Land and Agriculture:
Land levelling and farm bunds in the area will help them to take up a rabi crop of Groundnut, Guvar or Mung in the residual moisture Lack of
surface water source and high salinity of ground water has limited the sufficient base for irrigation as well as for drinking purpose. In
Umarsar cluster the average land holding is about 5.08 ha ranging from 0.02 to 302.53 ha. Umarsar cluster village land went under GMDC,
even thaw Umarsar farmers cultivate them land and Akari farmers have no own land, Akari village land went under GMDC and villagers
cultivate the land on lease. Few lend owner of out of Akari village. The major crops cultivated by the farmers are Cluster Bean (Guvar),
Bajra and Mung. Some of the farmers take up rain-fed Groundnut crop if rainfall is good. The land conservation measures such as.

3.4. Comparative data of the crop productivity of the area: project area vs. District vs. State vs. Country vs.
World:
The Umarsar project area has low productivity because of the following reasons:
1. Full dependence on monsoon:
Umarsar village is dependent on monsoon. Water is essential input in agriculture. Due to the absence of proper irrigation
facility,100% of the total cultivated area depends on the uncertain monsoon. Therefore, the suceess or failure of the monsoon
determines the success or failure of agriculture production.The rainfall is unreliable due to two factors: untimely and inadequate.
2. Low use of fertilizer per unit cropped area:
Farmers do not use sufficient fertilizer due to lack of water, scarcity of fertilizer in market and insufficient money for fertilizer. Many a
times they don’t get fertilizer at the right time.
3. Traditional farming methods:
This also leads to low productivity. There is a lot of ignorance about the use of new farming methods and technologies such as
multiple cropping. They don’t use FYM and other input in a proper way; that is why they don’t get 100% output. So these factors
contribute to low productivity.
4. Lack of adequate farm machinery:
Even today a large number of farmers in Umarsar use wooden ploughs and bullocks. They don’t have adequate machinery like seed
drill. So, old machineries take more time in tillage practices.
DWDU – KUTCH, BHUJ IWMP – 3 37

5. Lack of finances for farmers:
In Umarsar most of the farmers are marginal and small. They do not have enough money to buy good quality seeds, machinery and
other inputs.
6. Lack of good quality seeds and fertilizers:
Good quality seed, fertilizer and pesticide are important factor in agriculture productivity. The use of good quality leads to higher land
productivity. In Umarsar , however, there are two limitations in the use of fertilizer. First these fertilizers are most useful in irrigated
condition. But in Umarsar 100 per cent of land depend on rainfall. In Umarsar mostly farmers use nitrogenous fertilizers especially
urea. This has resulted in disproportionate use of fertilizer depleting the quality of land.
7. Lack of other facilities such as storage and marketing:
5-10% of agriculture product damage after harvesting due to scarcity of proper storage and proper market for sale. So he sells to
local traders at the low prices. Farmers mainly face proper means of transportation and roads. And second problem is farmers don’t
have proper storage facilities.

Production System - 1: Vermicompost One unit for Umarsar and One unit for Akari village
One of the important subsidiary occupations of the villagers is animal husbandry. At present, the animal waste is not used by the villagers
as agricultural input. If the farmers start realising the benefits of compost and vermicompost in particular, the productivity of their land can
increase manifold. As part of direct livelihood support, the villagers (mainly land less) are going to receive cows, buffaloes and small
ruminants. These animals in turn are going to produce more waste, which can be used to prepare vermicompost.
It is planned that a vermicompost unit by another SHG would be supported by the project. The SHG members, with the help of hired
manpower, can collect animal-dung. They would process this dung to prepare vermicompost and sell it to the farmers in the village or
outside, as per demand.
The process of composting crop residues using earthworms comprise spreading the agricultural wastes and cow dung in layers of 1.5 m
wide and 0.9 m high beds of required length. Earthworms are introduced in between the layers @ 350 worms per m3 of bed volume. The
beds are maintained at about 42–45 % moisture content and a temperature of 25 - 30o C by sprinkling water over the beds. The
earthworms being voracious eaters consume the biodegradable matter and give out a part of the matter as excreta or vermi-castings. The
vermi-casting containing nutrients are rich manure for the plants.
About The Worms
Eisenia fetida, Eudrilus eugeniae, and Perionyx excavatius are some of the species for rearing to convert organic wastes into manure. The
worms feed on any biodegradable matter ranging from coir waste to kitchen garbage and Vermicomposting units are ideally suited to
locations / units with generation of considerable quantities of organic wastes. One earthworm reaching reproductive age of about six weeks
lays one egg capsule (containing 7 embryos) every 7 - 10 days. Three to seven worms emerge out of each capsule. Thus, the multiplication
of worms under optimum growth conditions is very fast. The worms live for about 2 years. Fully grown worms could be separated and dried
in an oven to make 'worm meal' which is a rich source of protein (70%) for use in animal feed.
Use
Vermi compost has more nutrient compare to other manures and fertilizer; so, by the use of vermicompost we can reduce use of chemical
fertilizer. Vermicompost not only supply nutrient but also improve quantity of hormones for plant growth, improves the soil structure leading
to increase in water and nutrient holding capacities of soil.
DWDU – KUTCH, BHUJ IWMP – 3 63

Components of a commercial unit
Sheds
Akari village has high temperature in summer; so, a shed structure is needed for the vermicompost unit. It can be made by the use of
concrete pillars. While designing the sheds adequate room has to be left around the beds for easy movement of the labourers attending to
the filling and harvesting the beds.
Vermi-beds
Scientific bed side is 75 cm - 90 cm thick depending on the provision of filter for drainage of excess water. The whole bed area should be
above the ground. The bed should have a uniform height over the entire width to the extent possible to avoid low production owing to low
bed volumes. The proper bed width should not be more that 1.5 easy access to the centre of the bed.
Land
About 125 square meter of land will be required to set up a vermin compost production unit in Umarsar village. It should have at least 2-3
sheds each of about 180-200 sq.ft. It should have a good watering arrangement and other equipments as required because moisture is very
essential for vermicompost production.
Seed Stock
This is very important thing because worms multiply at the rate of 350 worms per m 3 of bed space over a period of 6 month to a year.
Fencing
DWDU – KUTCH, BHUJ IWMP – 3 64

The entire area has to be fenced to prevent the animals and other unwanted elements. These could be estimated based on the length of the
periphery of the farm.
Water Supply System
50% moisture content has to be maintained all the time. Water for the purpose would come from a well nearby.
Machinery
Farm machinery and implements are required for cutting the raw material in small pieces, conveying shredded raw material to the vermisheds,
loading, unloading, collection of compost, loosening of beds for aeration, shifting of the compost. Costs of providing necessary
implements and the machinery have to be included in the project cost.
Estimate for a vermicompost unit:
Requirement of nitrogen for 1 hectare sorghum fodder production=90 kg.
1.6% N available in vermin compost .
90 kg N fulfill by the use of 90/1.6*100= 5625 kg vermicompost (5.5 ton).
Need of vermicompost to fulfill the requirement of nitrogen for 15 hectare 5.5*15 =82.5 (80 ton).
45 kg phosphorus required for 1 hectare sorghum fodder production.
Requirement of phosphorus for 15 hectare fodder production 15*45=675 kg.
Supply of phosphorus through vermin compost 0.7/100*80000=560 kg.
Remaining requirement of phosphorus 675-560=115 kg.
Remaining dose of phosphorus will be supplied by rock phosphate.
One compost cycle need 45 days so we need 8 cycles for 80 ton vermin compost production.

4.4 Capacity Building
Capacity Building is the process of assisting the group or individuals to identify and address issues and gain the insights, knowledge
and experience needed to solve problems and implement change.
There is a realization in the development sector that there is a need to appraise the success of development interventions by going
beyond the conventional development targets and measures of success (e.g. in the form of commodities, goods and services) to take into
account improvements to human potential. Capacity building of stakeholders is also increasingly viewed as an important factor in
developmental projects that involve participation of stakeholders at all levels for effective implementation of projects.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES
DWDU – KUTCH, BHUJ IWMP – 3 77

6.1 Expected Outcomes
6.1.1 Employment
Employment has always been a problem in the village. The principal occupations of the people are dry land agriculture, animal husbandry
and casual labour work. However, rain fall being very limited and erratic, agriculture suffers, i.e. at best they can take only a single crop,
which keeps them partially engaged for about 4 months. Lack of fodder makes animal husbandry very difficult too. So, animal husbandry
does not keep them engaged full time. Thus the people mainly depend upon casual labour, either in the village itself or outside it.
The project plans for creation of both wage employment and self employment opportunities. Wage employment would be created by
engaging people in watershed physical works like construction of earthen bunds, farm bunds, village pond, plantation, etc. Self employment
would be created by providing the people with cash support in the form of direct livelihood activities like agriculture, animal husbandry and
enterprise development.

6.1.3 Ground water table
Rainfall has been scanty but demand for ground water has been increasing all the time. The ground water table thus has depleted over the
years. Presently it stands at 16 m.
Proper water harvesting structures and percolation tanks would go a long way in increasing water table depth from 16 m in the pre-project
level to 12 m in the post project period.

6.1.4 Drinking water
At present Umarsar and Akari village have no any own source for drinking water. Both villages included with Ghaduli juth drinking water
supply scheme. WASMO organisation have constructed water storage tank in both village, but both village have not own source. Right now
drinking water come from Ghaduli village. In Umarsar village drinking water come regularly but in Akari village drinking water come not
regularly. In Akari village drinking water come once in ten to fifteen days, that’s why Akari villagers drink water from village pond. And pond
water is not portable.
As a result of the watershed activities, it is expected that the quantity and quality of drinking water would improve.

Agriculture primarily depends upon water; but this is what is lacking in Umarsar village. The surface water is scanty due to low ra
infall and ground water is saline, which is unfit for crop production.
All this can change with the integrated land and water management during the watershed project. The planned Catchments area treatment,
Agriculture land development, water conservation and recharging structures would prevent the saline water from the Ran of Kutch to mix
with the sweet rain water and also help percolate sweet water under ground, and preserve some moisture in the soil. This will help in
additional area coming under cultivation and increasing productivity too. The farmers can take more than one season of crops. Different
varieties of crops can be taken.

There is negligible area under tree cover. The village has a forest area of 615 ha which consists of only Juliflora Prosopis (ganda babool).
Trees like Neem, kher, Desi babul, Pillu, Kandho, and Alianthus are seen just here and there, not concentrated in any area. Under IWMP
Umarsar and Akari villagers have planned two plants sawing in front of house of each house with tree guard.

6.1.8 Livestock
The both village has 5.55 cattle of per house. These include cows, bullocks, buffaloes, goats and sheep. At present village have no facility
for any types of treatment? When cattle suffering any kind of disease at that time owner call to veterinary officer. And doctor comes from
Dayapar or Ghaduli village. In monsoon time many cattle suffering foot & mouth and Hermorrhage. (Galsundho) So that villagers have
taken demand of cattle vaccination camp. The interventions like provision of vaccination provide qualitative cattle feed and enough fodder
this will increase carrying capacity of cattle and it will increase up to 8 cattle per house hold. This would spur up the dairy development in
the village. It is expected that the post project period would see a substantial increase in livestock population and yield from them.

QUALITY AND
SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES
DWDU – KUTCH, BHUJ IWMP – 3 90

7 Quality and Sustainability Issues
7.1 Plans for Monitoring and Evaluation
A Web-based GIS System is being developed for monitoring and evaluating the project in its planning & implementation phases. The
system would be available on a public domain and can be accessed by all the stakeholders of the project. The system shows the entire
state of Gujarat and all of those areas selected over the next 18 years. Filtering allows the user to zoom onto one particular project. Details
related to soil type, Land-use classification, inhabitation etc., can be obtained village-wise. Furthermore, survey-number wise details related
to ownership, irrigation source, yield etc., can also be accessed by the users of the system. This system is being used for pooling up the
details obtained from the DPR. In other words, the DPR is made available online in the form of a database which will help the stakeholders
know areas of importance viz., already treated areas/historical works in the area, proposed areas for treatment etc., for further treatment
and planning. The system would also show the satellite imageries of various years from the project inception stage to the project closing
stages. This allows the user to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and thereby plan corrective measures for the project area. The
system would serve as an aiding tool to the planners and evaluators for judging the efficacy of the project.
Yet another component of the Web-based GIS system is the Mobile based Monitoring & Evaluation System, which will help the
ground staff alias WDTs (Watershed Development Team) to transmit information from the ground level to the central server. Also, any
higher-up official in charge of the project can obtain information regarding the project area on their mobile phone by means of an SMS. The
system works in the following manner. The WDT equipped with a GPS instrument marks the latitude-longitude information of various
treatment areas during the DPR. The probable sites are then transferred onto the central server. During the works phase, any progress in
the treatment areas is reported to the server by means of an SMS by the WDT. Similarly, any nodal officer or higher-up official can view the
progress in a project by means of summarized reports generated over frequent periods of time.

7.2 Plans for Project management:
The Project management of any watershed programme is very important. It mainly depends upon the community organisation and the
village level institutes. In Umarsar watershed committee and various user groups have been formulated for post project operation and
maintenance of assets created during project period. Major emphasis will be on equity and sustainable benefit of the project even after
implementation stage. A proper link-up will be built during project period with various institutes and capacity building organisation. They will
act as a major key player during post implementation for scaling up the successful experience during project.
7.3 Watershed Development Fund:
The major source of financial assistance after post implementation period is watershed Development Fund. The contribution of it will comes
mainly fund the following:
7.4 User Charges:
Various user groups will be formed in village. These user groups will collect user charges according to the designated rules formed during
the formation of user group. These funds will be transferred to the WDF funds as per these formulated rules. The secretary of watershed
committee (WC) shall maintain the records of the following.
