Rampura-Manasa Micro Major Irrigation
Summary
The Rampura-Manasa Micro Major Irrigation Project aims to use water from the Gandhisagar Reservoir near Banda and Semli Antri Village in Madhya Pradesh, India, to help farmers in the Neemuch district. This project covers around 65,400 hectares of farmland in the Rampura, Manasa, Neemuch, and Jawad areas.
Project Goals:
Direct Water to Farmers: The main goal is to efficiently send water straight to the farmers’ fields, reaching even the middle of 5-hectare plots. This will provide enough water to grow crops and maintain it for larger fields up to 30 hectares.
Water Distribution: The project ensures that water is distributed well, allowing it to be used at least 10 times as much as needed for each hectare within 5-hectare plots. It also keeps some water in reserve (a minimum of 25 meters) at each field. This helps with methods like Drip and Sprinkler irrigation.
Energy Efficiency: Another important part of the project is using energy wisely. It’s designed not to use more than 39.40 megawatts of power in total to irrigate the large 65,400-hectare area.
Impact and Benefits:
The Rampura-Manasa Micro Major Irrigation Project can make a big difference in the Neemuch district:
Better Farming: Farmers can grow more crops and be more productive.
Smart Water Use: The project helps use water efficiently, so none is wasted.
Using Energy Wisely: By being careful with power, the project is eco-friendly and saves energy.
Helping Communities: Improved farming leads to successful communities.
Conclusion:
The Rampura-Manasa Micro Major Irrigation Project shows our commitment to improving farming and water use. By making sure water gets to farmers easily and by being smart with power, the project will change farming in the Neemuch district. It’s proof of how we support farmers and help the region grow in a sustainable way.
