 INFORMATION DISSEMINATION

OBJECTIVES:

Government of Nepal in 2053 issued an amended version of the 2049 Irrigation Policy,
after its promulgation in year 2045. The Irrigation Policy 2049 was drawn up to cover all
aspects of irrigation development in Nepal. In this policy irrigation systems have been
categorized and assistance to these systems or construction of new systems has included
the contributions from the beneficiaries. The IRRIGATION AND WATER
RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PROJECT (IWRMP) aims to enforce the sector
approach for rehabilitating farmers managed irrigation schemes and small to medium
type agency managed schemes for turnover. Main objectives of the project are as follows:
A] establish “ a sub-sector program” approach instead of “project by project” approach as
in the past.
B] make the program “demand driven” rather than the traditionally applied “Supply
driven”.
C] establish an effective criteria for the selection and implementation process and
procedures.
D] involve the beneficiaries in all stages of the implementation process through increased
participation in the sub-project development including responsibility for O&M after
completion.

In order to achieve its objectives certain criteria have been set out in the grant agreement
with the World Bank, which the implementation process has to comply with. Therefore
the information dissemination should include not only the policies and program, but also
those requirements as set out by the agreement and detailed in the project Appraisal
Document (PAD).

The main objective of the information Dissemination step is to acquaint the

implementers, DOI line agency’s personnel and the beneficiaries, the farmers and
farmer’s related political representatives with the IWRMP principles, criteria and
procedures, along with the irrigated agriculture development process

 APPLICATION - (FORM-A)

OBJECTIVES:

The application form seeks to record the initial request for assistance and to obtain
preliminary basic information regarding the Irrigation system to be rehabilitated. A brief
note is provided to explain about the IWRMP principles, procedures and requirements
that are needed to select the Sub-project and carry out the construction works. The
farmers are required to answer all the questions in the Application Form, which will then
help in initially selecting the sub- project based on the criteria set out for the selection for
identification survey. The following information is supplied or sought in the Application
Form (FORM A) :

A] Introduction to the IWRMP project and its requirements.

B] Guidelines to fill up the Application Forms.
C] Section ‘A’ List of all beneficiaries and their land holdings.
D] Section ’B’ Basic information Sheet asking for data on;
- Name, type, irrigable area, household and possible additional households to be
benefited after the project.
- Accessibility of the Irrigation system.
- History of the system proposed.
- Source of water for the sub-Project.
- Other system upstream and downstream of the proposed scheme. If they exist,
then give their basic information including water right.
- Salient feature of the proposed sub-project-Physical features, basic problems
need for assistance, cause to seek assistance.
-Initiation from the beneficiaries, their percentage to contribute for the sub-project
works.

The Purpose for requesting the information in the Application Form is to obtain basic
data from all the farmers requesting assistance in the sub-project command area to enable
the scrutinization and prioritization of sub-project from initial desk studies. It also gives
some indication on whether it is a genuine request or not.

The request for assistance in FMIS could be obtained from various sources such as Hon.
Ministers, Members of Parliament, DDC Chairman, and VDC Chairman etc. But they
must be channelized through the IDD/IDSD in accordance with the procedures of the
IWRMP Sub-project cycle.

The main objectives of the ‘Application Form’ are:

 To register a request for assistance and record the amount of upfront cash
contribution
 To provide information regarding physical and institutional status of the requested
sub-project
  To ensure that the demands placed are genuine and all the beneficiaries are
interested in seeking assistance from IWRMP
 To enable an initial evaluation of the sub-project’s suitability for meeting the
selection criteria before undertaking an identification survey and further study.
 To compile a list of pipeline Sub-projects for future development of the sector
program.

GUIDELINES FOR FILLING IN THE APPLICATION FORM (FORM A):

The application form (Form A) has been designed to develop a clear picture about the
physical and institutional status of the proposed Sub-project. Therefore each item
requested has some motive behind it to assist in the Sub-project evaluation. In brief
the justifications are as follows:

Introduction

The introduction about IWRMP projects its principle and requirements have been
included in this first chapter. This chapter depicts. The types of Sub-project, irrigation
Policy 2049 (Amended 2053), Water Users Association, Contribution requirements,
Quality Control, and O&M responsibility. The information has been introduced in the
‘Application Form’ to familiarize the farmers prior to its submission, so that during
the implementation period they have no excuse that they were not informed about
their obligations to financial and/or labour contributions.

Directives:

This Chapter contains the directives to fill up the data for the ‘Application Form’
Basic requirements are:

- all beneficiary households are to provide their signature

- details on upfront cash contribution
- minimum percentage cash or labour contributions required by the by theWUA
- Selection process
- Approval process
- Provisions of irrigation policy 2049 (Amended 2053)

Section ‘A’

This section of the application form is to be signed by all beneficiaries, from head,
middle and tail portions of the system. In order to get accurate information on the actual
command area all the household beneficiaries must show their land holding to be
irrigated by the system. This can be then verified from the 1:50,000 topographic maps.
Section ‘B’

This section of the application form has been prepared as simple questions with possible
answers as either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and physical data terms. The beneficiaries should have no
specific difficulty in answering this questionnaire.

Item No. 1- Provides general information on the name of the sub-project, type, address
and household data.
Item No. 2- Accessibility : Simple information regarding nearest road head and
trekking distance in local terms or Km and time required to reach
the place.

Item No. 3 – History of the system : This section obtains information on the history of
the sub-project, how it was conceived and constructed . it also
deduces the organizational strength, and characteristics of the beneficiaries.

Item no. 4- Source of Water: Primary requisite for the Sub-Project selection is the
Sources of water and the quantity available for irrigation. So this
information is crucial in the selection process. It has been put in local
terms of flow. “Ghatta”, the term to make it easy for beneficiaries to
answer the water quantity. The maximum and minimum flows and the
month in which they occur are asked for. The table also asks whether the
type of the source is either perennial or monsoonal.

Item no. 5 – This section gives the information about the sharing of the water source
between other systems, either upstream or downstream of the proposed-
Sub-Projects. Water rights issues might develop due to the introduction of
a new system of diversion in the river. Generally in the hills, temporary
diversions are made to divert the river water for irrigation. So the leakages
from one such diversion are tapped by other system down stream, as such
equilibrium is maintained in sharing the water from the same river source
by a number of irrigation systems. If one of a series of diversions within a
river system is made permanent, the balance of water sharing disturbed
and water rights disputes are likely to develop, so this section, if filled
upsincerely and precisely, should give a clear picture about the other
systems that are to run in harmony with the proposed Sub-project system
to be rehabilitated. Relevant data has been asked in this section to give
information on the distance to other up and down stream users, the size of
their irrigated area and number of affected households.

Item no. 6- This section deals with the organization of the beneficiaries of the
proposed Sub-Project. It has information about the formation of the
association, their willingness and enthusiasm towards the WUA
formation, and lastly their commitment to do O&M of the system after the
completion of the rehabilitation and construction works.
Item no. 7 – This section seeks information regarding physical features, main problems
regarding physical structures, need for assistance, and lastly the reason for
applying for IWRMP assistance. This section is designed to
provide information from existing Farmers Managed Irrigation
System.

Item no. 8- This section has two question about their Sub-Project construction works
in cash and kind .the percentage contribution as a set out in the Irrigation
Policy 2060, annex-1 (Table of contribution portion by the users in the
projects) is the minimum one ,and it is desirable that the beneficiaries
should contribute more than this towards the cost. Hence prioritization
could be oriented to select Sub-Projects, which have beneficiaries eagerly
willing to contribute more than their minimum share of the cost of the
Sub-Project.

GUIDANCE TO FARMER REQUESTING AN APPLICATION FORM:

At the time of application it is recommended that the beneficiaries form an ad-hoc WUA.
If not already formed completing in full the application forms. The Association Organizer
and Sub-engineers in the division/sub-division irrigations office and Junior Technicians
and junior Technical Assistants in the district agricultural development offices or service
centers should be trained on how to fill up the ‘Application Form’, so that they are able to
guide the farmers requesting assistance from the IWRMP project. Generally when issuing
the ‘Application Form’ the farmers should be oriented on how the forms should be filled
up. The farmers should be informers beforehand that ‘Application form’ will not be
accepted.

APPLICATION PROCESSING PROCEDURE:

Application form the farmers should be endorsed by the staff at the nearest Agriculture
Service Centre or Sub-Centre, before submitting to the IDD/IDSD .The Application form
is to be accomplished by an up-front cash deposit, based on the rate of Nrs 50/ha. This
money is to be deposited in a joint bank account of WUA/Irrigation offices. The
Application Form should then be checked by the IDD/IDSD staff before registration.

Only after satisfying the selection criteria wilh the list of the Sub-projects applying for
IWRMP assistance is given to the District Development Committee (DDC) for
information. DDCs are not to demand that the Sub-Project selection be routed through
their committee. The establishment of this well documented selection process and
procedure within DOI should avoid such pressure from the local government like DDCs.

 INITIAL SCREENING AND SELECTION CRITERIA – (FORM-1)

OBJECTIVES:
On receiving the Farmer’s Application Forms, they are to be screened by the IDD/IDSD
to See if the request meets the principles and criteria set out in the Project Appraisal
Document for IWRMP FORM 1 is to be used by the IDD/IDSD to assist in this initial
screening and selection exercise. The main objectives at this stage are to:

 Identify all those sub-projects which are genuine requests

 Reject those sub-projects with perceived little farmer commitment
 Identify the type of sub-project
 Ensure IWRMP principles and criteria will be met.

SELECTION CRITERIA
The selection criteria are based on all the following requirements being met by the sub-
Project:

 To be within one of the Western, Mid-western or Far-Western Regions

 To be the rehabilitation of an existing Farmer Managed Irrigation System
 To be an existing public management system where the beneficiaries agree to take
over all future O&M responsibilities in respective of small and medium sized
schemes.
 All the beneficiary household head are to have signed the application Form
 There are no potential water rights disputes within the river sub-basin
 In accordance with the irrigation policy the command area is not less then 25 ha
in the hills and 200 ha in the terai, sub-projects smaller than this will not be
selected unless within a known food deficit or very remote area.
 The beneficiaries to be committed to taking responsibility for all future O&M
 The beneficiaries to have submitted with their application form the appropriate
up-front cash deposit based on NRs 50/ha
 The beneficiaries to be willing to contribute at least specified percentage of
construction costs as either cash or labour in accordance with the irrigation policy
2049 (Amended 2053)

SELECTION FOR IDENTIFICATION STUDY

Those systems that meet all the selection criteria will be put forward for an identification
study. The order of undertaking the studies will be discussed with the DADO Staff to fit
in with both Department’s annual budget program, and to ensure that sub-projects are
selected to give a District geographical and political balance on an ‘Illaka” or “Chhetra”
basis.
The DDC office annually receives information on whether some of its wards or the whole
district is classified as a food deficit area or not. This information also needs to be taken
into account as higher priority is to be given to sub-projects in food deficit areas.

 GUIDELINES FOR IDENTIFICATION AND FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE
SUB PROJECT

As envisaged under component "A" of IWRMP for irrigation infrastructure rehabilitation

and improvement, guidelines for identification and feasibility study of the sub project are
presented as follows:

IDENTIIFICATION SURVEY – (FORM 2)

OBJECTIVES:
The identification Survey allows both the District Engineering and Agricultural staff to visit the
proposed sub-project site to enable an initial assessment of the feasibility of the Sub-project
proposals.
The survey work is to be conducted at a pre-feasibility level for all types of Sub-projects. The
data collected will enable the IDD/IDSD and DADO Staff to make recommendations for
continuing to feasibility study. It will also facilitate the classification of the Sub-Project as either
minor or major rehabilitation.
The questionnaire (FORM 2) for the identification survey is taken from the PDSP Manual M1,
Appendix D; The IDD/IDSD staff should also refer to the following references within the PDSP
Manual for additional requirements regarding the survey.

 M.1 General system Planning Manual; Chapter -3, Section 3.2.2, and Appendix – D and
E
 Guidelines: G.3. Development of Small and Medium Scale Projects; Chapter -3.
 D.2. Field Design Manual, Volume 1, Chapter -3, Appendix –D&E

The visiting Identification Team should clearly inform beneficiaries that the project even after
this survey work might not be selected for implementation.

The objectives of the ‘Identification Survey’ (or ‘Pre-feasibility Study’) can be assessed as
follows:
 To verify the data in the ‘Sub Project Proposal’ is correct and accurate, and a genuine
demand, or whether the sub project benefits a very few beneficiaries.
 To collect additional information regarding physical and social status of the Sub-Project.
 To provide a firm basis for further processing of the Sub-Project towards feasibility study
and detailed engineering design.

PROCEDURES:
The PDSP Field Design Manual D2, Volume 1, (Chapter 3) details the guidelines to follow in the
use of the questionnaire and in carrying out the identification survey. There are five steps:

- Desk Study
- Field visit
- Office work on return
- Sub-project recommendation
- Reporting.

In order to execute the survey every Irrigation Development Division/Sub-division office must be
equipped with the following maps and aerial photographs, which will help in identifying the most
viable scheme from a reliable database. It is recommended that the IDD/IDSD should possess as
a minimum the following basic maps and data to assist in the identification survey:

 1:50,000 scale, topographic maps or 1” – topomap prepared by ‘Survey of india’.

 1:50,000 LRMP maps.
 1:125,000 Geological Maps.
 1:50,000 or 1:20, 000 aerial photographs.
 Meteorological and hydrological data.

The topo and soil maps are available from the Trigonometrical Survey Section of Survey
Department, HMG/N. Aerial photo also are available from the same office with nominal prices.
These maps are essential to verify command areas and soil data from the field.
Further details on the procedures can be briefly summarized as follows:

Desk Study

Prior to going to the field the project locations are to be identified on the 1:50,000 scale
topographic maps and the aerial photographs. A team should be arranged consisting of Engineer,
Sub-engineer and AO and a JT or JTA from the District Agricultural Development Office of
nearest Service center/Sub-Center. A message of the proposed visit should be sent to the
concerned beneficiaries, so that they can interact with the survey team during the field visit.

Field Visit

The team is to visit the Sub-Project and conduct meetings with the farmers and undertake field
visits to the command area and probable main structure sites. The details and background to the
questions to be asked during the field visit are elaborated in the PDSP Field Design Manual D.2
In summary the visit should focus on:

 Command area as per actual.

 Source of water and the intake required.
 Terrain of the main canal alignment and structures required
 Problem areas such as landslide zones, river training, etc.
 Participation and enthusiasm of the beneficiaries.
 Agricultural data (existing)
 Soil data
 Water source catchments conditions; if possible enquire from the farmers about its
degradation.
 Water rights issues from other users both up and downstream of the proposed intake site

Office Works on Return

After the site visit, data processing of the survey work is undertaken jointly by IDD/IDSD and
DADO staff to confirm the command area, the adequacy of the water resources available, the
agricultural potential within the Sub-Project, farmers’ commitment and whether the full area can
be irrigated.
Sub-Project Recommendation

Based on the identification survey results a recommendation is now made on whether the
Subproject is to be considered for further study or not. The criteria for rejecting a Sub-Project at
this stage are due to it featuring one or more of the following major constraints:
 Inadequate water resources available for year round irrigation, and in particular the
monsoon crop
 Water rights conflict in the sub-catchments
 General beneficiary enthusiasm low and/or dominated by a few farmers
 Command area predominantly sandy soils with very high irrigation water requirements
 Major technical difficulties to supply water to the command area.

Reporting

The completed identification questionnaire (FORM 2) is to form the basis of a short report
containing recommendations, which is to be subsequently filled in the IDD/IDSD with all the
relevant data and copies of mapping.

This identification survey and report provides a basis for deducing the extent of rehabilitation
works required for the Sub-Project, its prioritization, and enabling it to be categorized as either
major or minor rehabilitation as described in the next step.
 FORM 2

PROJECT IDENTIFICATION QUESTIONNAIRE

This chapter questionnaire has been development for use by a team consisting of a
engineer and Sub-engineer in the Division/Sub-Division office and Agriculture staffs
based in DADO and nearest Agricultural Service Centre. The data collated during the
course of a brief visit to the proposed Sub-Project site should be sufficient to identify a
potential project for further study at feasibility level, or to reject the project where
feasibility seems unlike due to technical economic or social reasons.
A representative group of farmer should assist with the data collection. The nature and
purpose of the visit, and that the visit is no guarantee of a future project should be clearly
explained to the farmers. The persons making the identification visit should have with
them the 1:50,000 scale topographic map and the 1:50,000 (or 1:20,000) aerial
photographs covering the proposed Sub-Project area

CLASSIFICATION AS MAJOR OR MINOR REHABILITATION – (FORM-3)

OBJECTIVES:

The identification survey enables the Engineer of IDD/IDSD to make a decision at an

early stage on whether a proposed Sub-Project is likely to be feasible or not. If it appears
to be a viable Sub-Project then the next step is to decide on what types of further study
are required to prepare the Sub-Project for implementation. The type of study is dictated
by the magnitude of rehabilitation works envisaged, which are classed as either ‘Major’
or ‘Minor’ rehabilitation. Different classification criteria are to be used for hill and terai
Sub-Projects.

The factors required to analyse and classify the Sub-project should all be readily
available from the results of the field survey undertaken during the identification visit.
The objectives of the classification at this stage are to :

 Identify those Sub-Projects where the scope of rehabilitation works is small

 Reduce the time and money spent on studies where the proposed works are
minimal and technically not challenging
 Enable the fast tracking of implementation for those Sub-Projects where the cost

 Identify those Sub-Projects which are going to be technically complex and
require extensive studies

CLASSIFIFCATION CRITERIA

The classification criteria enables the identification of Sub-Projects in both the hill and
terai areas as either Major or Minor rehabilitation. It is evaluated by analyzing the
following possible construction constraints and scale of development. If any one of these
is met, then the Sub-project is to be classed as a major rehabilitation. If none are met then
the Sub-Project can be classed as Minor Rehabilitation. FORM 3 can be used for
recording the classification.

 FEASIBILITY STUDY – (FORM B, AND 5 TO 18)

OBEJECTIVES:

The feasibility study forms the most important input to the Sub-Project appraisal. It covers the
study of all aspects of the proposed project in relation to its technical, economic and institutional
viability and its costs and benefits. It is to be undertaken by the IDD/IDSD Office staff supported
by staff from the District Agricultural Development Office and Agricultural Service Centers. The
beneficiaries are to be involved during the fieldwork and their proposals and aspirations to wards
the Sub-project addressed during the study.

If the Sub-project is large, potentially challenging or the Division Office does not have adequate
staff available, then the feasibility study may be done by Consultants. These consultants will still
need to work closely with the Subproject level staff to keep them informed of their activities.
Whoever is responsible for undertaking the feasibility study procedures and standards of output
need to be maintained.

The main objectives at this stage are to:

 review the present situation within the sub-project area and collect all necessary baseline
data with the help of the beneficiaries
 screen alternatives and develop the optimum solution
 prepare plans and designs to enable an accurate cost estimate to be prepared
 evaluate realistic benefits that can be realized and determine the sub-project’s economic
viability
 enable the Regional Appraisal Committee, Project Director and DoI Director General
make a valued decision on whether the Sub-project should go forward for implementation

PROCEDURES
The detailed approach to carrying out the feasibility study is very well documented in the PDSP
field Design Manual D2, Volume 1, Chapter 4. In Summary the principle stages to be followed
are:
- desk study
- field survey work
- agricultural and engineering analysis of field data
- outline engineering design of the works
- engineering cost estimates
- economic analysis
- reporting
Irrespective of whether the feasibility study is to be undertaken by the IDD/IDSD Staff or by
outside consultants the above same principles are to apply. The design of the works is to be done
in detail. This will involve the requirement for additional detailed surveys to be carried out at
every proposed structure site during the field survey phase. This is to enable accurate cost
estimates to be prepared at the stage.

Desk Study

The desk study enables a further study of the data collected and analyzed during the identification
stage and a review of possible alternatives for development. The 1:50,000 topographic mapping
and aerial photography covering the area should be re-examined. This should in particular cover
the water resources in relation to existing or potential water users in the sub catchments.

Field Survey Work

The field team is to consist of IDD/IDSD engineers, Sub-engineer and AO and agricultural staff
from the nearest service Centre or District office. At the beginning all staff are to participate in an
initial meeting with the beneficiaries to be acquainted with their ideas and suggestions, and for
them to be briefed on the Government’s policies regarding irrigation development.

ENGINEERING

The IDD/IDSD engineering staff (Engineer, sub engineer and AO) are to carry out a visual
inspection of all the potential work sites which could include the intake site at the water sources,
the main canal alignment the command area and any internal canal or damage alignments. In
particular the following surveys are to be undertaken:

- Measurement of water flows in the river at the intake site

- Measurement of discharges at the head and tail of the main canal to determine its
efficiency
- Walkthrough of the existing canal alignments (or new ones if required) and complete
canal field survey report form (FORM 5)
- Site surveys of any major structures required repairing or to be newly build
- Site survey of any new canal alignments
- Geotechnical survey to identify any problem areas of instability and erosion
- Through investigation both up and downstream of the intake site to ascertain and
resolving any potential water rights problems
Details of all the above surveys and data collection are given in chapter 4 of PDSP Field Design
Manual D2

AGRICULTURE

The agricultural staff (Agricultural Officers, JT and JTAs from the nearest District Office or
service centre) are to undertake field surveys to provide the basic data for agricultural and
economic analysis of the Sub-Project area. The surveys required are:
- Farmer managed information profiling (FMIP) survey (FORM B)
- Crop cut survey (FORM 6)
- Existing cropping environment survey (FORM 7)
- Soil and Irrigation Suitability survey (FORM 8)
- District level agricultural database survey (FORM 9)
The methodology, data to be collected and introduction to the necessary forms is described in
detail below:

Farmer Managed information Profiling (FMIP) Survey – (FORM B)

A one day orientation workshop is to be organized for the farmer's representatives from head,
middle and tail end of the command area to discus:
– The farmers managed information profiling (FMIP) form
– The role of the farmers committee making the request for IWRMP support
to develop their irrigation system.
The initial FMIP survey form (FORM B) generates the base line data of cropping environment in
the command area and by collecting for each crop by individual operating household in the
command area provides a basis for agriculture analysis.

The participating farmers are to be oriented in how to complete the FMIP form. The WUA
members are to assist the farmers in this regard, and subsequently collecting the filled in FMIP
and compiling the data and establishing a database at WUA level.

The agriculture staffs within the Sub-Project feasibility team are to distribute the FMIP form
(FORM B) first to those farmers participating in the orientation workshop. The FMIP forms are
then to those farmers participating in the orientation workshop. The FMIP forms are then to be
given to committee chairman/member for distribution to all households within the command area
to fill in. Subsequently the WUA chairmen will collect them and send to the District Agriculture
Development Office for the preparation of inputs to the feasibility report within the agreed time
frame.

Crop Cut Survey - (FORMS 6)

Select three permanent farmers households each representing head, middle and tail end of the
command area for undertaking a crop cut survey to be supervised by the ASC concerned .This
crop cut data for any one major crop improves the quality of feasibility data reporting .The crop
cut data and related information are to be presented as supporting material for the Sub-Project
profile.

Existing Cropping Environment Survey - (FORM 7)

While visiting the Sub-Project agriculture members of the feasibility study team are to be make
notes on the cropping environment of the command area as detailed below;

Land use (Irrigation)

– Irrigation crop, cropping calendar, coverage and production.
– Rain fed crops, cropping calendar, coverage and production.
– Others land use.

Agriculture input and output use:

– Family male versus female per ha of land by crops, month and farming activities.
– Hired male versus female per ha of land by crops, month and farming activities.
– Animals labours and machinery use per ha of land by crops, month and farming
activities
– Seed and seed rate per ha of land by crops.
– Average annual production of local manure by household, application month ,
application rate per ha of land crop .
- Percent of households purchasing:
Chemical Fertilizer
Improved seeds
Pesticides / Fungicides
- Percent of commands area receiving chemical fertilizer by crops.
- Percent of commands area remaining fallow in the winter season.
- Percent of household having less accessibility to irrigation water from the system.
 - Percent of household taking production loan from the bank.
- Percent of household selling the surplus crop production.

Assess the physical parameters related to the command areas:

- Topography
- Slope
- Altitude
- Qualitative account on rainfall, hail stones, winds etc.
- Accessibility/ remoteness
- Other resource avails in command areas
The summary of the field notes on cropping environment in the command area is presented as
supporting material in the Sub-Projected profiles as recorded on FORM 7

Soil and Irrigation Suitability Survey - (FORM 8)

The agriculture members of the feasibility study team together with the farmers are to conduct a
walk through head to tail of the Sub-Project command area and record their findings on FORM 8
to:
- Confirm the hydrological boundaries of the Sub-Projected command area and delineate it on the
aerial photo/cadastral/parcelliary maps
- Delineate the soil variation of the command area using the cadastral/parcellary maps of the
command area
- Group the Sub-Project command area into irrigation suitability classes and show on the aerial
photo/cadastral map (also refer to PDSP soils and land use manual (M-4), chapter 12
- if necessary take soil samples (surface soil and sub-soil) and show the soil sampling location on
the aerial photo. The soil sample represents the soil variation in the command area. The
recommended parameters for soil analysis are PH, EC, Texture and OM for surface soil and
texture for subsoil
- To note the general impression of cropping environment in the head, middle and tail end of the
command area and discuss with farmers the constraints and possible solution to improving the
cropping environment.

The aerial photo and cadastral (parcelliary) map of the command area showing soil, land, and
existing canal system in the command area is to be presented as supporting materials in the sub-
project profile.

District level Agricultural Database Survey - (FORM9)

The agricultural members of the feasibility study team are to compile from data sources at the
District Office level, secondary data as detailed below:
 Crop variety, coverage and yield (rainfed/irrigated and low/high input level).
 DADO field strength/ staffing, production credit disbursement by ADB/N.
 Agricultural input (seeds, chemical fertilizer and other chemicals) sold by AIC/
cooperatives/ private dealers.
 Related Support service delivered by agency at sub-project District and if available at
sub-project VDC level.

All these information is to be presented as supporting materials for the sub-project profile as
shown on FORM9
SOCIO-ECONOMIC

To assist in the economic analysis a socio-economic group survey (FORM 10) is to be undertaken
to collect additional information from a selected group of farmers within the Sub-Project
command area. The agricultural members of the feasibility study team or AO are to bring
together at a meeting at least 10 key respondent beneficiary framers of the WUA representing all
income groups .For command areas in excess of 500 ha then two or more group survey meetings
are to be arranged, based on one meeting per 500 ha of command area. FORM 10 is to be
completed during the meeting to record the information gathered.

Agriculture and Engineering Analysis of the Field Data

After completing the fieldwork the survey teams are to return to their respective bases to
complete the analysis of the data collected. The different types of analysis to be undertaken by the
Engineering staff of IDD/IDSD and the Agriculture staff of DADO are described below.

AGRICULTURE
The agriculture analysis of the Sub-Project is to be carried out by the Feasibility Study
Team/Agronomist using the agronomic data collected from the field surveys to evaluate

- existing cropping environment

- future cropping environment
- projected crop yields and database
- soil condition (soil analysis ) and irrigation classification of the command area as
presented in aerial /parcelliary maps of the command area.
- related secondary data

The agricultural analysis evaluates the pre-project and post -project cropping environment in the
Sub-Project command area. The incremental agriculture production resulting from support given
to the subproject is to be presented as described below:

Existing cropping Environment-(FORMS 11&12)

The analysis includes the present crop calendar, crop coverage, crop production and input use for
the crop under irrigated and rain fed conditions. This agronomic data is presented on the FMIP
summary form (Form-11) which a compilation of the data supplied on the individual FMIP forms
(FORM B) completed by all the operating households in the command area. Data processing is
finalized with the use of feasibility study notes and other related information collected during the
site visit. The present cropping pattern is to be recorded on FORM 12.

Future Cropping Environment - (FORMS 12&13)

The analysis for the stable future irrigated cropping pattern is to be worked out on the basis of the
following parameters:

- The existing cropping environment in the command area and agriculture production
potential due to crop, soil and land management
- The irrigation water availability at the source and crop irrigation requirement as per the
cropping calendar activities.
- Water balance and water management in the command area.
- Farmer's preference to irrigated crops and market driven diversified crops
- Cash and vegetable crops, particularly in the ground water irrigations schemes depending on
the market accessibility.

FORM 12 is to be used to present the anticipated future cropping pattern with and without
project. To summarize the individual crop yields and inputs per hectare of crop production to
determine the incremental benefits FORM 13 is used.

Crops Yields and secondary Databases

The IWRMP support to irrigation development can include both extension into new areas and
rehabilitation of old schemes. The extension into new irrigated areas moves the rainfed
agriculture to irrigated agriculture and the rehabilitation schemes promotes the unstable irrigated
agriculture to stable irrigated agriculture. The increased crop yield into newly extended area is
more vivid than in rehabilitation schemes .It is therefore necessary to analyse the crop yield trend
by regional ecological belts, by IWRMP district and develop the crop yield data base by IWRMP
Sub-Project level.

The average crop yield per ha of land varies from year to year indicating the agriculture
production is dominantly monsoon fed .The agriculture production becomes stable under irrigated
condition .The increased crop production in the IWRMP Sub-Project command area depends on
good water management, farmer’s assistance from support services and WUA's capacity to
maintain and operate the irrigation system. The crop yield database for each District and
ecological zone will act as reference material for crop yield analysis for future without and future
with Project scenarios.

Development of crop budget (FORM 14) and Farm Model (FORM 15)
The development of crop budget and subsequent farm models requires the estimation of financial
and economic prices. Financial prices for crop inputs and outputs are collected during the social
economics group survey of the sub-projects. Basically, these prices are to be farm-gate wholesale
prices, net of transportation cost by the farmers to the selling or buying points. For economic
analysis purposes, prices are categorized as follows:

– Prices of domestically traded commodities.

– Prices of internationally traded commodities.
All the prices for economic analysis are to be evaluated at their opportunity cost value. For
locally traded commodities, especially inputs and outputs their financial farm-gate prices may
show their opportunity cost value. For internationally traded commodities their parity farm-gate
prices based on IBRD price projection for primary commodities for present and future should be
used. Methodology for derivation of parity economics prices for internationally traded
commodities is given in Annex 2

For agricultural labour a shadow wage rate has to be derived. An example for deriving a shadow
wage rate is as follows:
Peak period wage rate, say = NRs. 100/ day
Normal period wage rate, Say = NRs. 70 / day
Minimum subsistence allowance for no employment period, say = NRs. 20 /day
Peak agricultural days: 120 days/annum
Normal agricultural days: 120 days/ annum

Then weighted average annual wage rate:

= (100*120+70*120+20*120)/360
 =NRs. 63.33, say NRS 63/ day
Based on the yields and inputs presented in FORM 13, the crop budget for the present, future
with and without project scenarios is prepared. FORM 14 is to be used for presenting these crop
budgets, which will also give the crop gross margins for all the crops to be considered in the
economic analysis.
In preparing the future with and without project crop models consideration has to be taken of the
marketing potential and viability of farm produce, which are recommended in the crop budgets.
This requires reviewing the existing marketing situation of major crops in the sub-project area. To
assess this following factors are considered:

– Estimated volume of farm produce having a market surplus.

– Nearby marketing centered and volume of their transactions.
– Seasonal price variations and price differences between farm-gate and wholesale centre.
– Assessment of marketing infrastructure such as storing practices capacity of storage cost
and mode of transportation, processing facilities.
– An assessment of marketing channels and the linkage system of the local market with the
national market.

It is also important that projected crop yields and crop area should also accord with the support
services available to the sub-project area. Therefore, an assessment on the key support services
facilities presently available is also required in the feasibility report. This requires information on
the existing activities and capacity of the following institutions.

– Credit
– Co-operative
– Agricultural Service centre and sub-centre
– Any other agricultural development programs in the area.

Based on the assessment of cropping pattern and irrigated area, farm model budgets for future
with and without project situations are prepared using FORM 15. This farm model budget gives
the expected agricultural benefits in terms of incremental benefit to the sub-project.

ENGINEERING
The most important engineering analysis to be done at this stage is the calculation of the crop
water requirements (FORM 16) and undertaking the sub-project water balance. This is to confirm
that the proposed command area can be reliably irrigate during each of the main cropping
seasons, and determine the water duty for the design of the canals an associated structures. The
steps to be undertaken are explained in detail in PDSP Field Design Manual D2, Chapter 9. The
main data required to undertake this analysis is:
– Future cropping pattern taken from DADO ( FORM 12)
– Monthly evapotranspiration rates
– Crop coefficients
– Deep percolation and evaporation losses
– 80% dependable (Homogeneous) rainfall figure
– System efficiencies
– 80% dependable river flows

If recent data for above-mentioned parameters is not available then the data given in the PDSP
Manuals can be used. A worked example for the above analysis is given in the PDSP Field
Design Manual D2, Appendix T.
Environmental Considerations (FORM 17)
GoN regulation and the development credit agreement of the world Bank stipulate that a social
and environmental management plan (SEMP) of any rehabilitation is to be carried out prior to its
implementation. SEMP Guidelines have been prepared for the IWRMP projects. This considers
that there is an initial screening to assign a sub-project into an environmental category. This
determines first whether an initial environmental examination (IEE) is required or not. Then the
IEE assesses whether it should be followed up by an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

Using standardized checklist the IDD/IDSD staff are to undertake the screening process based on
the following criteria:

1. The sub-project size determines whether an IEE is to be undertaken or not, and whether
an EIA is also required. The criteria for both terai and hill areas is detailed in Figure 7.14
of “Procedural Guide Lines For Farmer Managed Irrigation System” under IWRMP.
2. If an IEE is required then the checklist on FORM 17 is to be completed. The IEE
evaluation makes an assessment of the impacts on the sub-project from the following
aspects:
– Environment effects due to project location.
– Environment problem relating to design.
– Problems during construction stage.
– Problem relating to operation
– Realization of enhancement measures.
– Overall environment review criteria.

A guide to how the above problem / aspects can be evaluated and how the impact prediction and
ranking criteria can be applied, is given in Annex4 of “Procedural Guide Lines For Farmer
Managed Irrigation System” under IWRMP. If any environmental component is considered to be
in the moderate to major category then that aspect has to be examined in more detail through
undertaking an EIA for that particular component only. If considered as a small impact then
discussion on how this is to be dealt with is to be detailed in the feasibility report, and there will
be then no need for any further monitoring.
3. Consider if the sub-project area is within an environmentally sensitive area ( ESA) from
the criteria below:
– areas of unique historic, cultural, archaeological and scientific significance
– geological fragile areas
– ecological fragile areas
– socially sensitive areas
if so then an EIA is required
The concept and actions required for the both types of environmental assessment are as follows:
Concept of IEE
 Assess potential environment effect of proposed Sub-Projects
 Requires completion of FORM 17 and discussion on those aspects where there is
considered to be small impact
 Recommends whether an EIA is required or not for those aspects considered to have a
moderate to major impact
 Prescribes all necessary protection measures
Concept of EIA
 Where more serious environmental impacts are involved and requires more detailed
evaluation as well as future monitoring programs to measure the level of supervision
required for environmental protection provision and its degree of effectiveness
  Identifies the possible +/- impacts resulting from the proposed Sub-Project, on nature and
the human environment, both in the short and long term
 Establishes a long term planned approach to mitigating environmental impacts
 Requires a detailed report in the feasibility study of all significant environmental impacts
and their mitigation in the long run

Outline Engineering Design of the Works

Normally the objective of the outline design at this stage is to include enough detail to enable a
realistic estimate of costs to be made. The design of the works may include at this stage the
consideration of several options to arrive at the optimum solution. In this context the designs have
to consider future operation and maintenance concerns, durability and robustness of the works
and the availability of local materials and skills along with appropriateness of the design to match
with the farmers’ requirement.

The result of the outline design is to contain as a minimum:

 A diagrammatic plan of the sub-project showing the water source, main canal alignment,
major structure sites and the command area boundary and works proposed inside it.
 Longitudinal sections along the canal to be rehabilitated or newly constructed along with
typical X-sections.
 Sketches of all structures to be built or rehabilitated, showing critical dimensions and
levels.
The survey information and design calculations undertaken to justify the outline design decisions
are to be documented for further reference during the detail design.

Engineering cost Estimates

From the outline designs quantity estimates are made for all the principle construction items
making up the overall proposed works. These quantity estimates are to be properly documented
on standard measurement forms. Using the current District construction rates the total cost
estimates is prepared and presented on standard abstract of cost estimate forms.
As part of the engineering cost estimate labours (skilled and unskilled) and material requirement
(foreign and local) are to be estimated for the total works proposed. An implementation
programme is to be presented showing the proposed sequencing and timing of the principle
construction activities.
To give an indication of the viability of the works proposed, the cost per net hectare benefited is
to be calculated. This rate is then to be compared with the IWRMP project Guideline rates to see
if the works proposed are reasonable. If not then re-evaluation of the works proposed is required
by deleting, modifying or checking the plans and designs prepared so far.

Economic Analysis
The economic analysis of the Sub-Project is to be performed by the IDD/IDSD staff based on the
following assumptions:
 The life of the subproject to be considered 25 years
 Construction period 3 years to be taken. Period for agricultural benefits to be 4 years
 Opportunity cost of capital to be taken is 10%

The subproject economic and financial analysis consists of the following steps:

 Adjustment of financial cost streams to economic values

 Calculation of EIRR
  Sensitivity analyses
 Financial analyses
 Reporting on the conclusions from the economic and financial analyses

Steps are described in detail as follows:

Adjustment of Financial Cost Streams to Economic Values

The subproject investment and O&M costs derived above will be quoted as financial prices and
therefore need to be adjusted into their economic values by:

1. Excluding the taxes and duty components

2. Excluding any subsidy components
3. Multiplying local material components by a standard Conversion Factor (SCF) of 0.9
4. Multiplying the skilled labour component also by SCF
5. Multiplying the unskilled labour component by 0.75*SCF
6. Obtaining a base economic investment cost by adding 3,4,5 and the amount under the
foreign exchange component
7. Adding physical contingency percentages in 6 to derive a final economic cost stream.
Economic cost streams for investment and O&M should be calculated under separate
headings.
The agricultural benefits are taken from the crop gross margins and subsequent farm model
budgets prepared on FORM 15. These benefits are already presented in terms of economic values.

Calculation of EIRR
With the finalized cost and benefit streams, EIRR values are to be obtained using appropriate
method depending on the facilities. Where computer is not available EIRR can be calculated as
mentioned in PDSP design manual or using Nomograph for subproject areas mentioned in fig
7.16 of “Procedural Guide Lines For Farmer Managed Surface Irrigation System” under IWRMP.
Where computer facilities are available, the economic analyses package FECONAL can be used
for calculation of EIRR.

Sensitivity Analyses
Sensitivity analyses are required to judge the effect of constraints on the viability of a Sub-
Project. To perform the sensitivity analysis, the following criteria are suggested:
 Cost overrun by 20%
 Implementation delay by 3 yrs, and
 Yield reduction by 20%
 Life of the Sub-Project reduced by 5 years

Using each of the above criteria in turn the cost or benefit stream is adjusted accordingly and
the economic analysis repeated to obtain the revised EIRR.

Financial Analysis
Economic analysis is performed referring to the profitability of the Sub-Project for the economy
as a whole. Although profitable for the nation, the Sub-Project farmers may not find the
investment profitable from their point of view, since they have to pay for taxation and get relief
from subsidies which otherwise are excluded in the economic analyses.
Therefore financial analyses using financial data are also necessary in order to confirm whether
the farmers of the command area will get enough profit to adopt the planned agricultural
development as envisaged in the future with project plan. Farmers will find it interesting to know
about the financial return on their investment e.g. return on per hectare of land, return on labor,
etc. Therefore the following financial calculations are suggested to be performed under a financial
analysis, namely:

 Deriving representative crop and farm budget models for marginal, small, medium
and large farm sizes within the Sub-project area for both future with and without
project schemes.
 Obtaining figures for increased net farm income, return per unit of labour, and return
per unit of land, due to the IWRMP intervention.
 Preparation of a monthly family labour supply and demand profile for the family
farm groups.
 If the FECONAL program is used, farm models can be calculated giving the value
for farm size, cropping pattern, yields and input data for various farm size groups.

Reporting
The presentation and quality of the Feasibility Report prepared by the Division irrigation
office staff is very important. It is on the basis of the Report’s conclusions that the Sub-
Project is to be appraised for implementation or not by the Approval Committee. Therefore
the report is to contain all information necessary to enable a proper evaluation to be made.
For this to be done the Feasibility Report must as a minimum contain the following sections:
 Describing the present physical and agricultural situation within the Sub-project area
 Stating the beneficiaries present situation and aspirations
 Giving the location and extent of proposed improvement works
 Detailing realistic agricultural benefits that could be realized
 Showing that an IEE analysis has been undertaken
 Presenting out line designs and cost estimates for the proposed works
 Justifying the EIRR obtained including a sensitivity analysis
 Presenting conclusion and recommendation including development alternatives
considered
The Sub-Project profile Proforma (FORM 18) should also be added to the report, which
provides a useful way to summarize all the main salient feature and data collected. It however
should not form the only content of the feasibility report.

Guidelines for Preparation of Social and Environmental Management Plan

SEMP identifies and assesses the social and environmental impacts resulting from the proposed
development activities and prepare management plan with mitigation measures including the cost of
mitigation, monitoring, auditing and capacity building. The SEMP must be prepared for each sub-
project, even if no EIA/IEE is required and it should be site specific. Irrigation project should be
screened as per screening threshold criteria mentioned in, for EIA & IEE respectively under SEMF
chapter 6.1, 6.2 & 6.3, Environmental Protection Rules 1997, 1999 of GoN and appropriate
environmental assessment study should be carried out depending on scale and size of irrigation projects.
Every irrigation project to be implemented under IWRMP must prepare SEMP even if that does not fall
into annex 1 & 2 screening threshold.
The objective of SEMP is not only to mitigate the adverse (or negative) social and environmental
impacts but at the same to enhance the positive impacts. It should contain a detail description of the
potential social and environmental impacts (both during construction and operation and maintenance),
mitigation measures and mechanisms for both implementation and monitoring for each sub-project
activity. The SEMP should be properly and adequately integrated in the over all-planning, designing,
budgeting and implementing of a sub-project. In fact, SEMP will be integral part of the sub-project plan
(DPR).

Thus the SEMP of a sub-Project under IWRMP will cover the following:
 Identification of social and environmental impacts, both positive and negative
 Assessing the magnitude of each impact
 Identification of set of measures to mitigate the potential impacts
 Identification of measures to enhance the positive social and environmental impacts of the
project interventions
 Determination of site specific, detailed requirements for ensuring that those responses are made
effectively and in a timely manner: and
 Description of the means for meeting those requirements

NOTE: No project implementation/construction can be initiated unless SEMP is prepared and approved by the
concerned Project Manager. No construction activity will be undertaken in components that involve loss of land
and other assets unless the affected persons are compensated and resettled as per the Resettlement and
Rehabilitation (R&R) of the project.

Objectives of the proposed guidelines on SEMP: The following are the main objectives of the
guidelines.
 Help the project stakeholders including WUA, NGO/CBO, staff of IMD/IDD/ISD/GRFO and
other relevant agencies/offices and, local community leaders, etc. in the proposed development
of irrigation subprojects (construction, rehabilitation, maintenance, management transfer).
 Provide step by step processes involved in the identification and assessment of social and
environmental issues assist the project stakeholders in preparing a proper SEMP which is to be
submitted along with the sub project appraisal documents to facilitate the Project Manager in
decision making.
 Help in designing training programs for the stakeholders (specifically IMD/IDD/ISD/GRFO
staff and WUA) for their capacity building to understand and appreciate the environmental and
social issues, identify assess impacts and plan mitigation measures for their sub-project under
IWRMP.

86
  Facilitate IMD/IDD ISD/GRFO staff to ensure that the social and environmental issues are
adequately addressed and included in the project design, bid documents, construction schedule,
subsequent operation and maintenance (O&M) and in implementation.
 Make the IMD/IDD/ISD/GRFO staff and WUA/NGO functionaries aware of the need for and
how to ensure monitoring the implementation of mitigation measures and to undertake any
adjustment measures of the SEMP during sub-project construction.
 Guide client organizations to effectively monitor the implementation of social and
environmental mitigation measures by the field implementing agencies such as
IMD/IDD/ISD/GRFO, contractors, WUA and Other agencies.

POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES (This checklist can go as an annex, and
may be expanded to cover issues for subprojects types. This and already existing checklist in the annex
needs to be merged and form one-set of checklist in order to avoid confusion).

SUB-PROJECT APPRAISAL AND DETAILED DESIGN PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES–
(FORM 19 & 20)

OBJECTIVES:
Appraisal is an important step in the Sub-project cycle, providing the opportunity for an independent
check to be made on the details of the proposed sub-project for quality control purposes. This
assurance together with the involvement of other line agencies at this time ensures that a through and
transparent evaluation is undertaken of the proposed Sub-project prior to recommendation for
implementation.

The principle objective of the sub-project appraisal at this time is to ensure that
 The technical, intuitional and economic feasibility of the sub-project is fully evaluated and
reported on and the SUBPROJECT APPRAISAL COMMITTEE are kept informed
 The sub-project is proven to be viable and suitable for onward processing to detailed design
(for major rehabilitation) or approval (for minor rehabilitation)
For Major rehabilitation cases, where the scale of the engineering works is large or complex, then
engineering survey and design works are to be carried out only after appraisal of the feasibility
study. The detailed design works enables accurate dimensioning of all the structures and canals for
cost estimation and construction purposes. It is envisaged that the estimated cost of the Sub-project
works after final detailed design should not deviate more than 20% from that reported in the
feasibility report.
A summary of instructions and guidelines of this 'Detail Design' stage is described in chapter 4 of the
PDSP manual Volume M.1 General system Planning Manual. Main objectives of 'Detail Design'
works are summarized as follows:
 To finalize the layout plans for headwork, channels and structures
 To confirm locations, levels and dimensions of canals/drains
 To confirm design levels and dimensions of major structures (headwork, cross drainage
works, primary canal structures etc.)
 To finalize drawings of the works, for final quantity and cost estimation.
PROCEDURES:
As described in previous section for 'Minor' rehabilitation detailed engineering survey, design and
cost estimates are included in the feasibility study. After appraisal this type of Sub-project can move
forward towards implementation. For 'Major' rehabilitation, the feasibility study will not include the
detailed design information at this stage. Therefore after approval, this type of sub-project will have
to have the detailed design and final cost estimation completed first before seeking final approval for
implementation.
Mobile Irrigation Team (MIT) Appraisal
The feasibility report is submitted to the MIT members at the Regional Irrigation Directorate who
are to review and verify data at the site prior to submission for approval or detailed design. To
achieve this MIT members are to visit the subproject site to acquaint themselves with the proposed
works to be undertaken. On their return their review should ensure that all the relevant data and
assessments are included, proposals recommended are realistic and accurately estimated and all the
information property presented in the feasibility report. FORM 19 provides a checklist that is to be
filled in by the MIT to ensure all major aspects have been covered.
TA Team Endorsement
For 'major' rehabilitation – sub-projects the TA Team are to undertake a technical review of the
feasibility report, to include a site visit if deemed necessary, to check on the quality of data presented
and analyses undertaken before giving their endorsement to proceed for detailed design.
The feasibility report is then submitted to the SUBPROJECT APPRAISAL COMMITTEE for their
appraisal before passing onto the Regional Appraisal and Approval Committee for their action.
FORM 20 is to be used for confirming the appraisal by the SUBPROJECT APPRAISAL
COMMITTEE.
Detailed Design
The detailed approach to carrying out detailed designs is well documented in the PDSP field Design
Manuals, Series D2 and D3. D.2 field design Manual Volume 1 chapter 6 illustrated all the steps for
details survey and design of irrigation systems. These design steps are common for all sub-projects,
variations occurring only according to the scope of works or individual requirements of the detailed
design. The Principle activities are a follows:
System Planning
System Planning starts with the requirements of the WUA being discussed and agreed on. This
involves a preliminary visit by the IDD/IDSD Engineer to the Sub-project site, during which the
following activities are undertaken:
i) Interaction with farmer beneficiaries regarding their requirements for the scope of works
which are to be considered in the detailed survey and design.
ii) Finalization and agreement with the WUA about the list of works to be included in the
design.
iii) The visit of the design engineer to the site is to be long enough so that he can
conceptualize and decide about the type of structures and canal alignment needed, and the
geological conditions to be found within the system. On the basis of this concept he is to
prepare outline plans for carrying out the detailed survey and design works.
A principle consideration during system planning is the type of linkages to be provided between
the intake and command area. This includes:
 Establishing type of canals & drain
– Primary
- Secondary
- Tertiary
- Quaternary of water course
 Deciding on canal system design
– Contour
- Ridge
 Selection of the type of canal structures
 Layout planning for secondary and lower order distribution systems
Topography Survey and site investigations
A plan of action is to be prepared first covering the type of survey works to be conducted. The
IDD/IDSD design engineer is to discuss this in-house with other technicians, to reach a consensus on
the plan of action and design concepts. The design engineer is then to get approval from the
IDD/IDSD chief to proceed with the detailed survey works.
Some survey and site investigation would have already been undertaken during the feasibility study,
so this existing data is to form the basis for the additional surveys and site investigations now
required. The scope of survey works is to be in accordance with the need of the construction works
required as follows:

Requirements Scope of survey works

Intake, cross drainage structures, - Benchmark

foot bridges reshaping of primary
canals and distribution systems
Lining, foot bridge and super - Long & X-section of main canal
passages.
Minor river training for protection.
- Contour plan of intake site with river X
section at least 500m u/s and d/s
- Long & X-section of primary canals
- Long & X-section of secondary,
- Tertiary canals
- Long & X-section of major cross drainage
works
- Topographic survey of command area.
- Lay out plan with spot levels of river bed
- X-section of the proposed length of river
training protection works.

Where a new intake to a sub-project is proposed the two most important decisions to be taken are:
i) Location of a technically feasible intake site
ii) Proper alignment of the primary canal from the intake to the command area.

Sustainability and stability of the system depends largely on these two steps. A wrongly selected
intake site gives trouble throughout its life. Hence, primary steps of details survey for new intake
sites are to:
i) select the most feasible intake site
ii) align the main canal through the most stabile zone as far as possible with proper grading
 iii) select appropriate structures at cross drainage sites

IDD/IDSD engineers are suggested to refer to the following chapter of the PDSP manual for further
information:
- M.2 survey and mapping Manual
- D.2 Field Design Manual, Volume – 1 Chapter – 7
If the structure is medium to large in size, site investigations regarding geological analysis are to be
performed. For new intakes the site investigation is essential to judge the type of rock strata at the
intake as well as in the new section of canal alignment.
The full site investigation details are described in Chapter – 7.3 of D. 2 Field Design Manual
Water Resources Computation
Prior to detailed design, all data and analyses already presented in the feasibility study are to be
rechecked. In particular the seasonal availability of water at the water source of the sub-project is to
be compatible with the calculated water duty. The maximum floodwater condition for design the
intake is also to be assessed. The following main activities are involved:
 Assessment of 80% dependable river flow
 Hydrological analysis of maximum and 1 in 50 river floods flows
 Crop water requirements
 Irrigation water duty
 Water balance

Detailed about undertaking all the above analysis have already been presented in section under
feasibility study of these procedural guidelines.
System Design
The Previous steps elaborated on the collection of data from detail surveys and site investigation,
and the assessment of water resources available for the system. This ensures an adequate database
for undertaking the detailed planning, calculation and structural design for the sub-project. Two
Stages are involved:
 Hydraulic design for capacity formulation,
 Structural design for dimensioning individual members.
Hydraulic design shall determine the dimension of water conveyance of the intake, canal, and other
structures. Detail structural design shall establish the dimensions of the individual components of the
structures. All design should be environmentally friendly.

i) Canal and drainage Design

PDSP Manual D. Field design Manual chapter – 10 illustrates all the steps for canal and drain
design. Manning's methods is to be principally used
ii) Intake and headwork Design
PDSP D.2 Field Design Manual chapter -11 and PDSP M.7 Headwork, River Training works and
sedimentation Manual illustrate all the steps required for intake and head work design
Nepal has a wide range of river types varying from boulder stage in the hills to large braided or
gravel Bed Rivers in the terai. The intake site selection and type of structures is decided according to
the characteristics of the river. The most suitable site for an intake is usually towards the down
stream and on the outside of a river bend, which ensures less sedimentation entry into the canal
systems.
Selection of the type of intake and its location follows the basic procedures described below:
 Locate the approximate position of the intakes / headwork considering the head requirement
for canals and command area including losses in the relevant structures.
 Study of the nature of the river and its characteristics. A survey regarding the geology of the
bank is to be carried out if the situation is not clear. Location having stable banks with rock
outcrops or a rocky base and bank are preferred.
 Select the type of the headwork taking into consideration the characteristics of the rivers and
potential for sediment exclusion and diversion requirements relative to the available flow in
the river. Priorities to be assessed are as follows:
Simple side intake without any diversion,
Simple side intake with temporary diversion.
Trash rack (Tyrolean weir)
Gabion weir
Conventional weir with sluice and head regulator
Sediment excluder, settling basin or gravel trap
  In the hills mild sloping canals are often not suitable, as they require large cross sectional
areas contributing to instability on the hill slope and high percolation losses. Here the ideal
slopes are generally 1:3000 to 1: 5000 in order to maximize the conveyance capacity
masonry lining is often provided with design velocities of 1.5 to 2.0 m/sec

Consultation With MIT

Prior to finalization of the detailed designs, particularly of complex structures such as intakes major
cross-drainage structures, and canal alignments through landslide areas are involved, the IDD/IDSD
is to consult with MIT Engineers about the design alternatives and methods adopted. These
discussions will improve the quality and appropriateness of the chosen design to the particular
situation.
After these discussions the IDD/IDSD is to finalize the design works, including the plotting of the
proposed works on standard drawing sheets, before submitting to the TA Team for the Final
technical review and endorsement.
Cost estimation
Quantities are to be computed from the approved drawings and the detailed cost estimation of the
sub-project prepared. Guidelines for cost estimation are illustrated in PDSP M 10 Engineering cost
estimating and economic Manual.
The rate analysis for the construction items are to be prepared based on district rates, approved
norms of GoN. The cost estimate is then submitted for checking to a higher-grade technician prior to
obtaining approval.
As set out in the present Government Financial rules the concerned officer can approve estimates.

Appraisal and Detail Engineering Design of Groundwater Sub-projects

(1) Shallow Tube well

In all the cases, the shallow tube wells will be constructed in Bhabar Zone, where the shallow
aquifer has transmissivity and high groundwater table. The well yield of 5 lit/sec.to10 lit./sec. can be
expected for the typical shallow well constructed with ND 100mm steel liner to a depth of 50 m
drilled the minimum spacing at around 300 m.
The casing and screen pipes will be made of black mild steel pipe. The normal diameter and wall
thickness will be 100 mm and 5mm respectively. The slot size of the screen pipe should be 1.6 mm
with an open ratio not less than 15% to its surface area.

The annular space between casing pipe and screen pipe and the wall of drilled hole should be filled
with gravel which should be cleanly washed, durable, composed of well-rounded quartzitic or
granitic particles. Gravels to be used should be a natural gradation ranging from strict size limits of 2
mm to 7 mm in diameter

(2) Deep tube well

Deep tube well will be suitable for the Terai Plain Zone, where the shallow aquifer in thinner and
less productive, but the deep aquifer becomes increasingly thicker and productive when its depth is
more. In this zone, well yield of 30 lit/sec. can be expected with ND 150 mm steel liner to a depth of
125 m drilled in the minimum spacing at around 800 m.

In the standard design, the pump housing with a diameter of 250 mm will be provided to the depth of
20m below ground surface. All the housing, casing and reducer pipes will be made of black mild
steel pipe with wall thickness of 10mm for housing and reducer pipes and 8mm for the casing pipe.
The screen should be of stainless steel wire wrapped type of 150 mm ND with slots of 1.0 mm with
of open ratio of 25-30 % to its surface area and with collapse strength of minimum 165 psi.

The annular space between casing pipe and screen and the wall of drilled hole should be filled with
gravel, which be clean, washed, composed of well-rounded qartzitic or granitic particles. Gravel to
be used should be a natural gradation ranging from strict size limits of 2.0 to 7.0 mm in diameter.

Pump and Motor

1 Centrifugal Pump for Shallow Tube well

For a shallow tubewell, a horizontal mounted self priming end suction centrifugal pump will be
installed. The capacity of pump is 10 lit/sec at 15 m of static head, which is the sum of the pumping
water level and above ground head. The pump will be operated at 2200 RPM at the maximum
rotation and the efficiency should not be lower than 60%.

The pump is coupled to electric motor rated 5 Kw with star-delta starter. Power will be supplied
from NEA 440 V distribution system.
The pump will draw water by means of a steel suction pipe from a shallow tube well which is lined
with ND 4” black mild steel pipes, and discharge in a discharge in a distribution pipe system by
means of a steel delivery pipe.

(2) Vertical Shaft Turbine Pump for Deep Well

For a deep tubewell, a vertical shaft multi-stage turbine pump driven by means of a electric motor
will be installed inside a ND 10” well liner (pump housing casing). The capacity of pump is 40
lit/sec at 20 m of static head. The pump will be mixed flow type, operated at 1800 RPM at the
maximum roration and efficiency should not be lower than 72%.

Column pipes from pump bowls to discharge pipe should be hot finished seamless steel conforming
to BS 360 L or API-5L, and the section of column pipe will be connected by heavy duty machined
sockets. Line shaft is threaded type with water lubricated rubber bearings. The proper shaft sleeves
are required to be already assembled. The pump will discharge water in a irrigation water
distribution system by a delivery pipe complete with a non return valve and gate valve.

The prime mover for a vertical shaft turbine pump will be an electric motor rated at 30KW with a
star-delta starter. Power will be supplied from NEA 11 KV distribution system through a transformer
and three phase connection lines to a control panel for the star-delta starter.

Water Distribution System in Deep Tube well area.

The tubewell command area is taken for 30 ha rain-fed area of deep tube well .The system will
comprise a 3-m high control chamber, connecting160 mm uPVC pipe between the control chamber
and loop system and a buried pipeline with single loop system with outlets (alfalfa valves) provided
for approximately each 2.0 ha. A surge riser will be of diameter160 mm uPVC pipe extending to 0.5
m higher than the maximum water level in the control chamber.
 APPROVAL AND TENDER DOCUMENT PREPARATION (FORMS 21 AND 22A, 22B,
22C)

OBJECTIVES:

Approval for the sub-project to proceed to implementation is to be sought after the feasibility study
including detailed cost estimates are completed and appraised by the MIT for 'Minor' rehabilitation
or detailed designs, drawings and cost estimates completed and appraised by the MIT and TA Team
for 'major' rehabilitation Sub-Projects. Approval is to be obtained from the Project Implementation
and Coordination Committee (PICC) for both major and minor rehabilitation. After approval then
tender document preparation can be started. The main objectives of this step are to ensure that:

 RPSU will review in detail the sub-project appraisal document submitted by

IDD/IDSD/GFO, verify necessary at field level and would recommend to the RAC the
approval of subproject implementation. Detailed cost estimate will be approved by
authorized officer. The RPSU will be responsible insuring the technical and economical
viability of the subprojects.
 Through RAC and other related line agencies are involved, e.g. Department of
Agriculture, Agriculture Development Bank, National Planning Commission in the Sub-
Project approval Process. RAC will appraise each subproject and provide its
recommendation to the PICC for its final approval for implementation.
 Selection and approval of sub-projects is geared towards a regional balance and an
equitable distribution of funds between the Regions and their Districts, taking into
account food deficit areas as well as remote areas, in order to bring those areas into the
mainstream of the development program.
 The tender documents and drawings dimension the canals and structures to a sufficient
standard with adequate, so that contractors are able to accurately price them
 The tender documents are fully complete to enable the construction works to be
effectively undertaken

Terms of Reference for NGOs
 TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) FOR COMMUNITY BASED
NGOS ENGAGEMENT IN IWRMP SUB_PROJECTS IMPLEMENTATION

Role:

In the implementation of IWRMP Sub-Projects (Rehabilitation of existing FMIS), mobilization of

NGOs can help in the formation of grassroots’ organization and work as facilitator among all
stakeholders .Based on experience of implementation of other demand driven participatory irrigation
project in Nepal specially in the NISP in forty districts of three western development regions (Small
and medium scale systems) the NGOs are proposed to be engaged to carry out inter-alia in the
following functions and tasks:
1 Be responsible to disseminate the information to the potential farmers groups on IWRMP
program, terms and conditions of availing the support, responsibilities and participation
(contribution) requirements by the users group.
2 In capacity building of the users group through working as trainers, facilitator to establish
linkages with other support providing agencies including credit facilities and marketing
etc.
3 In the formation and legalization of WUAs organization.
4 Be responsible to conduct Participatory Social and Environment Assessment study and
assist in preparing SEMP of identified and selected Sub-Project at or after feasibility
study stage but before actual construction is taken up.
5 Works as facilitator in resource mobilization by WUAs to participate (contribution) in the
development phase and as well as for the O&M phase.

The NGOs will work under the overall guidance of the TA consultant at the RIDs and would
coordinate their activities closely with the MIT responsible for all other activities of the feasibility
study/design and construction of Sub-Projects/Schemes and the RTU who is charged with carrying
out the required training within regions and districts.

Procurement Process of NGOs

The responsibilities of assessing the capability of NGOs to assist in the implementation of IWRMP
would lie to the TA consultants. They will be procured directly by the DOI/OPD on terms and
conditions mentioned. The NGOs would be immediately responsible to the MIT/RID and RTU and
through them to TA consultants on matters related to training and other matters concerning their
functions and tasks.

The RTU inclusive of MIT with the help of the TA consultants at RID would conduct the trainers
training of recruited NGOs on all related topics concerning their functions and tasks to be performed
by them. The works of the NGOs would be in generally looked after by the sociologist cum training
coordinator at the region. The sociologist of TA Team would also function as sociologist for MIT in
case there is no one at the RID in order to impart know how of his discipline.
Criteria and Qualification for the selection of NGOs:

5 The NGOs should be either Community Based NGO or intermediary NGO or local NGO.
6 The NGOs should have been registered with Govt. of Nepal relevant office as a non-
profit organization with a motive for the upliftment of rural community.
7 Should be experienced in working with farmer groups in formation of WUGs for
sustainable productive irrigated agriculture in rural farming locations.
8 Should have experience in coordination with farmer groups on irrigation development
and management related activities, rural development activities on participatory
approaches.
9 Should have exposure and experience in organizing training, workshops to strengthen the
local users' capability to develop irrigated agriculture and other economic income
generating activities.
10 The NGO should have physically fit energetic group organizes (GO), both male and
female ready to work into and stay with the rural/remote places for days together.
11 The person who has to be in charge of the NGO services in the districts (IDD/IDSD) sub-
projects should have preferably university degree in Sociology/rural development/human
resource management or other relevant discipline.

TOR FOR NGO ENGAGEMENT (Sub-Contract)

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the services to be provided by the NGO is to assist the RID/MIT and IDD/IDSD in
the establishment and/or formalization of functional community based organization at the local
community level that is the Water User Associations (WUAs) and potential income generating
groups out of the WUA members who are directly linked to the irrigation Sub-Projects supported by
IWRMP. Since IWRMP is to assist in rehabilitation of existing surface FMISs, there will be already
some form of water users group in existence. NGOs services would be required where weaknesses
are felt or where fresh organizations are to be formed.

SCOPE OF WORKS

The recruited NGO will be required to carry out the following general tasks:
a) Guide potential farmers to request Govt.of Nepal for IWRMP assistance in the construction
/rehabilitation of their FMIS, as well as their full participation in selection, planning and
design activities if request found for IWRMP support.
b) Guide and train irrigated farmers in the formation and management of WUA including the
democratic election of Water Users’ Association Executive Committees and drafting of
association bylaws and constitutions based on model documents institutionalization
/Management of trainings.
c) Guide and train WUAs in the mobilization of local resources (labor, cash, materials and
 skills) for Sub-project construction, ie both the WUAs contribution and the paid work
through community based working groups, as well as the negotiation of an agreement with
IDD/IDSD for areas of responsibility during Sub-Project construction, Resource mobilization
and Work plans /construction skill development.
d) Guide and train WUAs in the sustainable operation and maintenance (water management) of
the completed irrigation schemes. Operation and maintenance Training/Water management
training/Establishment of maintenance fund.
e) Guide and train key farmers from the WUAs in the improvement of cultural practices
required for the self-sufficiency of basic foodstuffs through irrigated agricultural production.
Improving productive and profitable Cultural Practices Training.
f) Assist the communities comprising the WUAs to identify opportunities for increased
sustainable employment through self-supporting irrigation-related enterprises (especially for
landless, poor and women) through e.g. savings and loans groups, etc. Identification of
income generation activities and on-farm improvement/ Formation of such groups.
g) Regular monitoring and evaluation of all activities outlined above, including frequent
interchange of ideas and work plans with the IWRMP/MIT and the IDD/ISSDs.
h) Identifying the social and environmental issues of the selected subproject and assist in the
implementation of the SEMPs according to the ISEA guidelines prepared.

Reporting

The recruited NGO will have to report to the MIT/RID and TA Consultant at the RID. Report will
also be sent to the OPD and will be monitored by the OPD regularly. More detailed tasks outputs
and activities and job description of the NGO required staff will be prepared by the TA Consultant at
the time of the procurement/recruitment.

OUTCOME INFORMATION
Improve irrigated agriculture
productivity and management of
selected irrigation schemes and
enhance institutional capacity for
integrated water resources
management (IWRM)
1. Improved irrigated agricultural productivity:
 % increase in productivity of selected crops1
 % increase in cropping intensity
2. Improved irrigation scheme management:
 % of WUAs in transferred irrigation
schemes whose O&M expenditures is as per
agreed Asset Management Plans
 % of water users in rehabilitated irrigation
schemes satisfied with WUA O&M.
YR 3: checks balance in project
design between physical
interventions and
institutional/capacity building
and economic interventions
YR4-YR5: signals if project
strategy needs to be adjusted

3. Enhanced institutional capacity for IWRM:

 Integrated national water resources database
established (pulling available data)

1. COMPONENT A: Irrigation infrastructure development and improvement
1. Improved physical 1. % of tail-enders reporting improved water YR2 – YR3: low levels suggest
performance of selected availability (relative to baseline) possible weaknesses in planning,
surface water schemes implementation and capacity
building
2. Financially and 2. WUAs:
institutionally sustainable  % WUAs formally constituted2 and holding YR4 – YR5: Low levels have
WUAs regular meetings implications for sustainability,
 % WUAs collecting water charges (in cash, and hence for re-visiting exit
kind and labor) required for adequate O&M strategy
 % of WUAs maintaining appropriate
accounts and cash registers
3. Enhanced use of
