Conjunctive water use in Nepal - Practices and performance in selected irrigation command area.
1998
Neupane I.P.
This paper is based on a study carried out in selected irrigation systems, which are at different stages of management transfer under IMTP first and second phases. The selected sites for the study were: 1. Eastern Kamala Irrigation System (EKIS); 2. Hardinath Irrigation System (HIS); and 3. West Gandak Irrigation System (WGIS). Data were collected in the field primarily from the key informant farmers involved in using diverse sources of water either in conjunctive or other forms. Individual farmers as well as groups using different sources of irrigation: tube wells, canal water, drainage etc. were interviewed to solicit the needed information. It is, however, notable that only two out of five cases represent ideal conjunctive form in terms of using water from two sources at a time whereas the other cases are more of the water augmentation type.
