6.4. Irrigation & Flood Control
Balasore district is fairly irrigated. Out of the total cultivated area 55.58% is irrigated in
Kharif season and 42.02% in Rabi season. This is much higher than state figures, which is
only 46.39% in kharif and 22.77% in Rabi season. In fact irrigation is required in Kharif
season to save the crop only during drought. But in Rabi season irrigation is required
throughout the crop growth period. Hence, irrigation facility in Rabi season is essential for
the farmers. But, only 42.02% of the total cultivated area is irrigated in Rabi season. Lack
of irrigation prevents the farmers in non-irrigated areas to take up a second crop, mainly
cash crops during Rabi season.
Regarding Lift Irrigation Projects, 1209 LI Projects are there in the district. Out of 1209 LI
points, only 632 (52.27%) are operating and rest 577 are defunct.

cultivated land due to lack of drainage facility. Every year due to occurrence of natural
