Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

This paper is based on the outcomes of a training workshop on modernization of irrigation management organized in 2007 for 25 participants with a focus on the Gandorinala and Bennithora projects. The study has several purposes: a) produce food for thought for decision-makers in Karnataka before engaging in investment plans, particularly on how to ensure that diagnosis and solutions are investigated properly in modernization projects; b)suggest some specific strategies to managers of the Gando rinala and Bennithora projects on how they should start the management and operation of these new irrigation systems introducing modern concepts and techniques ; c) lay the foundations of a progressive modernization plan, with some initial steps taken for the monitoring of the next Kharif season starting June 2007 and the objective to prepare by the end of December a PLAN for an effective Service Oriented Management in these two projects.
