Abstract

In view of increased requirement of foodgrains, focused thrust with massive investment from public accounts has been given to create a strong irrigation infrastructure since the first five year plan (1951–56) in India. With the created irrigation potential of over 126 million hectares, India owns one of the biggest irrigation sectors in the world today. Over the last 70 years, many changes have taken place in the overall resource utilisation of India’s irrigation sector. On the one hand, the gap between irrigation potential created and irrigation potential utilised has been widening, while on the other hand, the demand for water is going to exceed the utilisable potential. Is the irrigation sector of India moving in the right direction? What are the changes taking place in the overall use of water resources? What is the state of irrigation potential and utilisation in different regions in India? What is the present and future scenario of water supply and demand in India? Is the development of irrigation taking place uniformly in different regions or any inequality exists in its development? What is the pattern of irrigation investment? Are there any changes in the composition of irrigation investment? What is the share of private investment in the irrigation sector? In this chapter, while explaining the overall physical settings and resource utilisation of the irrigation sector, an attempt is made to answer all the questions utilising massive data published by the Ministry of Water Resources and its associated departments.

The International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) defines large dame as one with a maximum height of more than 15 meters from its deepest foundation to the crest. A dam between 10 and 15 meters in height from its deepest foundation is also included in the classification of a large dam provided it complies with one of the following conditions: (a) length of crest of the dam is not less than 500 meters, or (b) capacity of the reservoir formed by the dam is not less than one million cubic meters, or (c) the maximum flood discharge dealt with by the dam is not less than 2000 cubic meters per second, or (d) the dam has specially difficult foundation problems, or (e) the dam is of unusual design.

The IPC of northern region is much higher than its UIP (about 31%), which may surprise many. This happened because of over-exploration of groundwater beyond potential limit by some of the states that are coming under the northern region (for details see, CGWB, 2017).

An eloquent discussion on various initiatives taken by different states to involve the private sector in irrigation and multipurpose projects can be seen from Saleth (1999).
