Synopsis (short abstract) The Masscote application presented here has been initialized through a training workshop in Karnataka for engineers and managers from the KNNL focussing on Ghataprabha Left Bank Canal [GBLC] from 6 to 20 October 2006. The contributions of the working group sessions at this workshop (RAP–MASSCOTE) have been largely included in this report. The MASSCOTE exercise has been further proceed by a team of KNNL, comprising officers from KNNL HQ as well as some officers from the Ghataprabha project itself together with the supporting FAO team composed of Daniel Renault (NRLW-HQ), PS Rao (FAO Delhi) and Thierry Facon (NRLW Bangkok) and at a later stage with inputs from Mr. S. Sijapati consultant (Nepal). This document presents the status of the Masscote application development one year after the workshop.

MASSCOTE Applications in Upper Krishna Project-KJBNL. Karnataka, India
Modernization Strategy for Irrigation Management
2009

Also available in:

No results found.

The MASSCOTE application presented in this document has been initialized through a training workshop in Karnataka, for engineers and managers from the KJBNL, focussing on Upper Krishna Project from 31st January to 10th February 2009. The Upper Krishna Irrigation Systems is a set of systems using water from the Naryanpur reservoir located in the downstream part of the Upper Krishna. A total of 8 systems are fed by the reservoir, totalling a net command area of 513 000 ha for a GCA of 601 000 hec tares. The irrigation systems are new and are operational from the year 2003. The MASSCOTE approach used in this workshop and afterwards is a methodology developed by FAO, for auditing performance and planning improvements of large open channel irrigation systems. The basic MASSCOTE methodology has been applied to 8 systems; some specific modules have been additionally applied to deal with lift irrigation systems and multiple uses of water.

The performance of many canal irrigation delivery systems is unsatisfactory in terms of: (i) water resources management; (ii) service to irrigated agriculture; and (iii) costeffectiveness of infrastructure management. In recent years, participatory approaches and management transfer reforms have been promoted as part of the solution for more cost-effective and sustainable irrigation services. Large agency-managed systems have been turned over partially or completely to various types of management bodies. However, the results have usually been disappointing. Common findings have been: (i) the new management bodies are not up to the task; and (ii) these bodies have inherited dilapidated systems and severe financial constraints. This FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper presents a step-by-step methodology for water engineering professionals, managers and practitioners involved in the modernization of medium-scale to large-scale canal irrigation systems from the perspe ctive of improving performance of conjunctive water supplies for multiple stakeholders. While the focus is on canal operation, the scope concerns the modernization of management. The approach consists of a series of steps for diagnosing performance and mapping the way forward in order to improve the service to users and the cost-effectiveness of canal operation techniques. This paper presents a proposed comprehensive methodology for analysing canal operation modernization, which is based on Mapping System and Services for Canal Operation Techniques (MASSCOTE). It discusses the main elements of canal operation and organization before describing the steps of the MASSCOTE approach in detail. These steps are grouped into two main parts: (i) baseline information; and (ii) a vision of water services and modernization plan for canal operation.
