STUDY OF ANANTPUR COMMUNITY MICRO IRRIGATION PROJECT – DESIGN AND PREPARATION OF PROJECT PHILOSOPHY

World’s population is growing at exponential rate and so the issue of water scarcity is having negatively increasing impact on global community, economics and sustainability. Among many other requirements agricultural irrigation water requirement is the largest and having major impact on world’s different water consumption domains. With improvements and developments in saving of water in all other major sectors, considering necessity of improvements in overall efficiency of irrigation water system here is an attempt to give one of best solution in the form of community irrigation system. The community irrigation system has proven to be efficient and economical in overall as compared to conventional flood and canal irrigation system. Even though increase in overall project cost of community irrigation is increased by 18% as compared to canal irrigation, the increase in command area is by 2.4 times and the increase in yield can be about 22%.
