1.1 Project Background 

Mahiyari (IWMP-2) project is located in Kutiyana Taluka, Porbandar District of Gujarat state. The project is a cluster of 7 microwatersheds 

with 5G1C1a2a, 5G1A6a1d, 5G1A6a1e, 5G1A5a2h, 5G1A6a2b, 5G1AClale, 5G1A6a2b being their respective codes. The total project 

area of the watershed is about 5292.5 Ha, of which has been undertaken to be treated under Integrated Watershed Management Programme 

(IWMP) starting year 2009-10. 

The watershed includes three Villages Mer, SC & Brahmin are the primary inhabitants of the village. The livelihood of these people is 

primarily based on rainfed agriculture, animal husbandry, wage labour, goat and sheep rearing. 

The Project area falls under the IWDP according to DoLR Classification. It is a very poor and desolate village on the border of Porbandar. 

The Mahiyari Project was heavily every year Flood. This has resulted in Productivity of Agriculture Land was too low camper another villages of 

Kutiyana Block.

1.2 Need of Watershed Development Programme 

Watershed Development Programme is prioritised on the basis of thirteen parameters namely Poverty Index, Percentage of SC/ST, 

Actual wages, Percentage of small and marginal farmers, Ground water status, Moisture Index, Area under rainfed agriculture, Drinking water 

situation in the area, Percentage of the degraded land, Productivity potential of the land, Continuity of another watershed that has already 

developed/treated, Cluster approach for plain or for hilly terrain. Based on these thirteen parameters a composite ranking was given to 

Mahiyari Watershed project as given in table no. 2. 

The total number of families under BPL is 203, which is less than 20 per cent of the total households of the village. Hence a score of 2.5 is 

allotted. The percentage of schedule castes in the village is about 5% per cent to the total population; hence a score of 3 was allotted. Rainfed 

agriculture forms the primary occupation of the village due to the fact that ground water is saline and hence unfit for usage. More than 65 per 

cent of the farmers are small and marginal by nature and the actual wages earned by the labour is less than the minimum wages hence a 

composite rank of 5, 3 and 10 are allotted respectively. 

Since the rainfall received is erratic and irregular, the moisture index is low and the area is classified under IWDP block. Drinking water 

is problematic in the village. Majority of land is degraded due to inherent salinity and ingress of salt from Saline Water. The soil is very 

permeable and production of the land can be significantly enriched with the availability of timely irrigation. Mahiyari watershed falls in 

continuity with other watersheds namely Kansabad, Kadegi. Cluster approach was followed taking into consideration four micro-watersheds 

covering a total area of 5292.5 ha. Thus a cumulative score of 66 all the parameters taken together give a cumulative score of 66 to the 

watershed (reference Table 2.1 below).

2.1. Project Implementing Agency 

The Project Implementing Agencies (PIA) is selected by an appropriate mechanism by Gujarat State Watershed Management Agency (GSWMA), 

the State Level Nodal Agency (SLNA) for Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) in Gujarat. The PIAs are responsible for 

implementation of watershed project. These PIAs may include relevant line departments, autonomous organizations under State/ Central 

Governments, Government Institutes/ Research bodies, Intermediate Panchayats, Voluntary Organizations (VOs).The PIA for Mahiyari 

watershed Project is Deputy Conservator of Forest (Social Forest), Porbandar. 

2.2 About Forest Devision, Porbandar 

2.2.1 The organization and its objectives: 

PIA of the Mahiyari project is Social Forestry Division, Porbandar. The Deputy Conservator of Forest (DCF) is the head of this. Office of 

Deputy Conservator of Forest – Forest Division Porbandar was established by Govt. Resolution No.VNM-102006-600 Dt. 31-08-2007. PIA has 

dedicated and experienced staff comprising one Range forest officer (Nodal officer) and a watershed development team of agriculture expert, 

community mobilization expert, civil engineer, surveyor, accountant and Data Entry Operator,. The objectives of the IWMP-2 Porbandar are 

supervising, planning, implementing, documenting and promoting watershed development projects and related developmental activities in the 

district as per guidelines. 

2.2.2 Programmes/projects of Deputy Conservator of Forest –Forest Department, Porbandar: 



At present 3 IWMP projects have been sanctioned by Government of India for Porbandar district. The entry point activities of all the 

Three IWMP projects have been identified by the respective PIAs in the district. Porbandar Forest Division is PIA for 1 projects (IWMP- 2) and 

DWDU f is PIA for rest of the two projects (IWMP-1 & 3). 

2.3 SWOT Analysis of the Deputy Conservator of Forest (IWMP-2), Porbandar: 

Strength: 

(1) Dedicated and experienced staff and a multidisciplinary team 

(2) Independent District Level Organization. 

(3) Strong linkages with national and state level institutions, agricultural universities, North Gujarat University and NGOs for 

Capacity building and technical guidance 

(4) Scientific planning in watershed projects with the help of BISAG, Gandhinagar, 

(5) District level monitoring, coordination & Co-operation Committee 

Weakness: 

(1) No permanent office building. 

(2) No Vehicle. 

(3) Not any Technical Expert person in any Project of Watershed in Porbandar. 

Opportunities: 

(1) A number of different other development schemes of the government are running so, there can be horizontal integration and convergence 

of programmes. 



(2) Better financial provision under IWMP. 

(3) Usage of new ICT tools like GIS, GPS. 

Threats: 

(1) Rainfall being very scarce and unreliable in the project area, the activities planned to be taken up may yield limited 

Impact 

(2) Irregularities in fund flow can derail the smooth functioning 

(3) Lack of contribution and cooperation from local people 

(4) Low literacy rate in the project area. 

(5) Because of flood prone area flood water remains for longer revised, farmer can’t take any monsoon Crop. 

(6) Soil is saline.

3.1. Geography and Geo-hydrology 

3.1.1 Land use pattern: 

The net geographical area of Mahiyari watershed is about 5292.5 ha out of which has no forest area. About 86% of land is under agriculture 

which is completely rain-fed; mainly a Kharif & Rabi crop is taken. About 13% of the total land is classified under wasteland of which 4 percent 

is uncultivable and hilly and rest is cultivable. The watershed consists of thorny species of Ground Nuts which was mainly broadcasted to stop 

the spread of desert.

The rainfall is scanty which has resulted in recurrent phenomenon Flood every year. The average rainfall of this area is about 833 mm 

(from past five year data) with a highest intensity of 84 mm within span of a day. This uneven distribution is leading to runoff of soil every year 

to the streams, rivulets and depressed area saline.

3.1.3 Land and Agriculture: 



Lack of surface water source and high salinity of ground water has limited the sufficient base for irrigation as well as for drinking purpose. The 

average land holding is ranging from 1 to 4 ha. Lack of irrigation source forces the majority of the farmers to take one Crop in all seasons. This 

affects directly the demographic profile of the village. The major crops cultivated by the farmers are Ground nuts and Jowar (Sorghum). Some of 

the farmers take up rain-fed castor crop if rainfall is good. The land conservation measures such as earthen bunds and farm bunds in the area 

will help them to take up a rabi crop of wheat and Chana in the residual moisture.

3.1.4 Livestock: 

The village has 450 cows, 1500 buffaloes, 1000 bullocks, 3000 goats and 2000 sheep. Majority of rabari community depends on goat and sheep 

rearing for their livelihood. Cows and buffaloes are of local breed. Lack of rain and surface water has reduced the fodder and pasture 



availability for their animals. This leads to heavy migration to other parts of the state with their herds of goats and sheep. Milk production is so 

low in the village.

Migration Pattern: 

People migrate for the lake of employment to different parts of the District like Kutiyana, Porbandar & Junagadh District as daily wagers, 

agricultural labours and construction workers. Lack of fodder availability and grazing land for smaller ruminant force these people to migrate 

to other places.

3.4. Comparative data of the crop productivity of the area: 



Project area vs. District vs. State vs. Country vs. World: 

“The term productivity in general means the total output per unit of factor input. For example land productivity means output per hectare of 

land. Productivity is an average and is calculated by dividing the total output of a particular crop by the total cultivated area under that crop.” 

Data are made available by the Baseline survey (for Mahiyari village), Handbook of Agriculture, ICAR publication 2006(For Gujarat and India), 

and Final district plan (IWDP) of Dept. of Agriculture (for Porbandar). The results indicate that Mahiyari Watershed Project has very low 

productivity compared to world, India, Gujarat and Porbandar. The productivity is low not only because that the land is unproductive or the 

farmer’s lack the skills to manage their crop but also due lack to of source of irrigation, salty water and scarcity of rain. 

The Mahiyari village comes under arid zone. So farmers grow crop according to the rainfall. If they get good rainfall they generally grow high 

value crops like Ground nut, Juwar etc. In case of low rainfall they can’t take any crops. So we can say that monsoon decides cropping patterns 

of Mahiyari Project. 

The world productivity of Ground nuts is 665.80 kg/ha. In India, it is grown in about 7.3 lakh hectares with a production of 8.0 lakh tonnes and 

productivity of 1,094 kg/ha. Gujarat alone produces about 80% of the total castor of our country from 50% of the area with a record 

productivity of about 1950 kg/ha. Porbandar district has very good productivity 1300 kg /ha. The Mahiyari project area has only 250 kg/ha 

productivity. It is very low compare to district, State, India and world. 





Pearl millet is the fourth most important grain crop next to rice, wheat and sorghum.The crop is cultivated for grain as well as fodder in the 

semi arid tropical regions. Pearl millet traditionally is an indispensable component of dry-land farming system. In world pearl millet 

productivity is 984 kg/ha and India has 1094 kg/ha of Bajara productivity and Gujarat is far better than world and India. The productivity of 

pearl millet is 1500 kg/ha for Porbandar, whereas for Mahiyari Project, it is only 250 kg/ha. 





Rapeseed (mustard) is the second most important oilseed crop after groundnut, contributing nearly 25-30% of the total oilseed production in 

the country.The world productivity of Rapeseed-mustard is 529 kg/ha. We can see that Mahiyari Project has very low productivity in 

comparison to Porbandar, Gujarat, India and world. 

The world and India productivity of cumin are 550 kg,400 kg per hectare respectively.Gujarat is a major cumin producing state in India with 

the productivity of 516 kg/ha. Cumin productivity of Porbandar is 450 kg/ha and Mahiyari village has very poor productivity with 225 Kg/ha. 





The Mahiyari project area has low productivity because of the following reasons: 

i) Full dependence on monsoon: 

Mahiyari Project is dependent on monsoon. Water is essential input in agriculture. Due to the absence of proper irrigation facility,100% of the 

total cultivated area depends on the uncertain monsoon. Therefore, the success or failure of the monsoon determines the success or failure of 

agriculture production. The rainfall is unreliable due to two factors: untimely and inadequate. 

ii) Low use of fertilizer per unit cropped area: 

Farmers do not use sufficient fertilizer due to lack of water, scarcity of fertilizer in market and insufficient money for fertilizer. Many a times 

they don’t get fertilizer at the right time. and the salinity also decrees his fertility. 

iii) Traditional farming methods: 

This also leads to low productivity. There is a lot of ignorance about the use of new farming methods and technologies such as multiple 

cropping. They don’t use FYM and other input in a proper way; that is why they don’t get 100% output. So these factors contribute to low 

productivity. 

iv) Lack of adequate farm machinery: 



Even today a large number of farmers in Mahiyari use wooden ploughs and bullocks. They don’t have adequate machinery like seed drill. So, old 

machineries take more time in tillage practices. 

v) Lack of finances for farmers: 

In Mahiyari most of the farmers are marginal and small. They do not have enough money to buy good quality seeds, machinery and other 

inputs. 

vi) Lack of good quality seeds and fertilizers: 

Good quality seed, fertilizer and pesticide are important factor in agriculture productivity. The use of good quality leads to higher land 

productivity. In Mahiyari, however, there are two limitations in the use of fertilizer. First these fertilizers are most useful in irrigated condition. 

But in Mahiyari 100 per cent of land depend on rainfall. In Mahiyari mostly farmers use nitrogenous fertilizers, especially urea, it can’t decrees 

salinity. This has resulted in disproportionate use of fertilizer depleting the quality of land. 

vii) Lack of other facilities such as storage and marketing: 

5-10% of agriculture product damage after harvesting due to scarcity of proper storage and proper market for sale. So he sells to local traders 

at the low prices. Farmers mainly face proper means of transportation and roads. And second problem is farmers don’t have proper storage 

facilities. 





Watershed Activities 

Watershed management as a strategy has been adopted by Government of India especially in the rain-fed regions of semi-arid tropics. These 

regions are characterized by low and undependable rain, low soil fertility, poor infrastructure development, low literacy and high incidence of 

migration. Several studies have identified that there is a dire need of a systematic and scientific approach to deal with watershed development. 

The common guidelines generate a fresh and flexible framework for the next generation watershed development. 

4.1. Scientific Planning: 

i) Cluster Approach 

This envisages a broader vision of Geo-hydrological unit which involves treating a cluster of micro-watershed. The Mahiyari Project consists of 

four micro- watersheds namely 5G1C1a2a, 5G1A6a1d, 5G1A6a1e as their respective codes. Further Mahiyari watershed project is in 

continuation with other watershed projects. 

ii) Base line Survey 

To access the impact of any watershed development programme a detailed baseline survey has to be conducted. This acts a benchmark for any 

intervention during and post implementation of any development programme. A detailed baseline survey was undertaken which involved 

household census survey, Bio-physical survey and Village level data collection from Talati –cum mantri. Household census survey includes a 

detailed questionnaire which was been filled by visiting each and every household in the village. This gave in the details of the demographic 

profile of the village, the literacy percentage, SC/ST population, number of BPL household, cattle population, net consumption rate in the 

village, average milk production of the cattle and various schemes running and their benefits 



Bio-physical survey was undertaken to identify various natural resources available in the village. It included the soil typology, well in the area, 

crop taken in the field, Cropping pattern, fertilizer used and various sources of irrigation in the field. 

iii) Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) 

The past experience of watershed has given tremendous input to focus on creating accountability of the stakeholders towards the programme. 

This has created an emphasis to include all the stakeholder communities and their local and Indigenous Technological Knowledge (ITK) while 

planning for any activity. Participatory approach provides a new path for planning, implementing, monitoring and post- withdrawal activities 

with a complete accountability of the stakeholders. Various PRA techniques like resource mapping, social mapping, and season calendars were 

used to understand the physical and social orientation of the village in general and watershed in specific. These tools put the villagers in ease 

than the complicated questionnaires. Various tools like Matrix ranking, Venn Diagram were used to identify various local vegetations (apt for 

afforestation), Fodders crops , various institution and their significance in the life of the farmers 

iv) Use of GIS and Remote sensing for planning 

Use of various high science tools has been promoted at various stages of watershed development. 

a) Prioritization 



Geographical Information System (GIS) has been used for prioritization process. Various layer maps were created like Geo-morphological, Soil, 

BPL Population, SC/ST population, Ground water Status, Drinking water situation Slope percent. These were all given proper weightage 

according to the DoLR specification. This helped in prioritization of various watershed areas. 

b) Planning 

A action plan matrix was formulated by State Level Nodal Agency (SLNA) taking into account various features like the slope percent, soil Depth, 

Soil Texture, Soil erosion in the area for wasteland, forest land and agricultural land. Global positioning System (GPS) was used to identify each 

and every water conservation structures available in the project area. This was used to create a map. Contour Map of vertical interval of 1 

meter at a scale of 1:8000 was used for identifying various locations for soil and water conservation structures. 

c) Hydrological modelling 

Hydrology modelling technique was used for locating drainage, stream length, flow direction, sink, Flow accumulation. This model overlaid 

over cadastral map to calculate the catchment area of each structures like the check dam etc. This has helped to remove the human error which 

generally occurs while calculating the catchment area of a check dam.

Livelihood Intervention ; 

Production System-1: Fodder bank for Mahiyari Watershed 

Introduction: 



"The fodder bank technology is a farming practice whereby leguminous shrubs and grass species are grown on a farm to provide fodder for 

livestock sector." It provides a wide range of animal products that are rich in high quality proteins and have the potential as good and sustainable 

sources of income in many areas. However, lack of fodder in terms of quality and quantity, is one of the major constraints towards the low 

productivity of cattle in Mahiyari watershed Project. 

The fodder bank ensures fodder availability which in turn reduces the distressed migration of the people resulting in sustainable livelihood 

opportunities and enhances natural resource security in the project area. 

Objective of a fodder bank: 

1. Build a local fodder bank and organize the distribution of fodder during drought and scarce situation. . 

2. Establish and maintain village fodder farm in the community grazing area, and allocate the community land for fodder production, in 

association with dairy co-operatives. 

3. Control regulates and charge in the community grazing and pastures lands. 

4. Undertake the distribution of fodder seeds and slips in the village. 



Primary problem of the project 

Mahiyari village comes under totally rain fed agriculture because of this migration percentage is very high. Soil is very suitable for fodder crop 

mainly sorghum but due the scarcity of irrigation water only one crop can be taken throughout the year. So fodder bank play an important 

role to solve this problem. Majority of farmers own less than 2.5ha of land for food and fodder production but lack of irrigation water has 

made these lands unproductive. The concept of fodder bank can overcome the problem of seasonal feed shortage, migration and poor animal 

performance. A 

It is the milch animal, which is the worst affected during these periods of drought, due to lack of productivity of sufficient fodder and water. As 

a result, the poor are forced to let go with their animals in search of fodder and green pastures to other parts of the state. This eventually this 

leads to colossal loss of income generating assets, poor demographic profile of village and low education level of their Children. 

Even in good years, during the harvesting season, the poor tend to sell their crop residue or fodder to earn cash. At such time when supply is 

higher than demand, they are not able to sell fodder at remunerative prices. The same fodder is bought back by them, mostly at higher prices 

during the months of scarcity. 

To meet the critical needs of fodder, especially for the poor families and protect them from inordinately high prices during the summer months, 

fodder banks are proposed to be setup at the village level 



Feasibility of Fodder Bank: 

A detailed survey and Focused Group Discussion was conducted in Mahiyari watershed area. The number and type of cattle as well as the 

fodder production capacity of the village was collect during these surveys. In focused group discussion several factors like the various types of 

fodder available locally, the quantity of fodder to be stored in the fodder bank, the size of fodder bank, the amount of finances required to 

operate a fodder bank etc were discussed with the farmers, User group and Watershed committee. The fodder bank should be sustainable and 

towards that, the sale price of fodder should cover operating costs and losses in storage. All these decisions were taken jointly with the member 

of operating fodder bank.

Production of Fodder: 

We will produce 2250 quintal fodder from community land of Gram Panchayat and for remaining requirement we can fulfill by two ways first 

one buy the fodder at the time of harvesting and second we can take land on lease agreement from some other government as well as private 

agency.

6.1 Expected Outcomes 

6.1.1 Employment 

Employment has always been a problem in the village. The principal occupations of the people are dry land agriculture, animal husbandry and 

casual labour work. However, rain fall being very limited and erratic, agriculture suffers, i.e. at best they can take only a single crop, which 

keeps them partially engaged for about 4 months. Lack of fodder makes animal husbandry very difficult too. So, animal husbandry does not 

keep them engaged full time. Thus the people mainly depend upon casual labour, either in the village itself or outside it. 

The project plans for creation of both wage employment and self employment opportunities. Wage employment would be created by engaging 

people in watershed physical works like construction of earthen bunds, farm bunds, village pond, plantation, etc. Self employment would be 

created by providing the people with cash support in the form of direct livelihood activities like agriculture, animal husbandry and enterprise 

development.

6.1.2. Migration 

Low rainfall results in very little fodder availability in the locality. The relatively well off farmers bring fodder from Mahiyari (approximately 

100kms away) collectively; but the resource poor cannot afford it. On account of agriculture and animal husbandry providing only part time 

employment for some part of the year, the people migrate for a better half of the year for wage labour. 

Employment opportunities in the local area as mentioned above will ensure lessening seasonal migration from the area.

6.1.3 Ground water table 

Rainfall has been average but every year water logging & salinity problem has been increasing all the time. The ground water table thus has 

depleted over the years. Presently it stands at 25 m. Proper water harvesting structures and percolation tanks would go a long way in 

increasing water table depth from 25-30 m in the pre-project level to 12-17 m in the post project period. & water quality will be good as well as 

pre – project time

6.1.4 Drinking water 

The villages has not own drinking water source they have to depend upon other village known as Paswari. This village’s water quality too bad 

that why many people suffer form various problems like kidney stone, joint pain & much saline water related problems 

As a result of the watershed activities, it is expected that the quantity and quality of drinking water would improve.

6.1.5 Crops 

Agriculture primarily depends upon water; but this is what is lacking in Mahiyari Project. The surface water is scanty due to average or high 

rainfall and ground water is saline, which is unfit for crop production. 

All this can change with the integrated land and water management during the watershed project. The planned earthen bunds would prevent 

the saline water from the Sea of Arb Sagar to mix with the sweet rain water and also help percolate sweet water underground, and preserve 

some moisture in the soil. This will help in additional area coming under cultivation and increasing productivity too. The farmers can take more 

than one season of crops. Different varieties of crops can be taken.

6.1.8 Livestock 



The village has quite a good of livestock population. These include cows, bullocks, buffaloes, goats, sheep and camels. The interventions like 

provision of good quality cows and buffaloes, the establishment of a fodder bank and other such related activities would spur up the dairy 

development in the village. It is expected that the post project period would see a substantial increase in livestock population and yield from 

them.

7 Quality and Sustainability Issues 

7.1 Plans for Monitoring and Evaluation 

A Web-based GIS System is being developed for monitoring and evaluating the project in its planning & implementation phases. The system 

would be available on a public domain and can be accessed by all the stakeholders of the project. The system shows the entire state of Gujarat 

and all of those areas selected over the next 18 years. Filtering allows the user to zoom onto one particular project. Details related to soil type, 

Land-use classification, inhabitation etc., can be obtained village-wise. Furthermore, survey-number wise details related to ownership, 

irrigation source, yield etc., can also be accessed by the users of the system. This system is being used for pooling up the details obtained from 

the DPR. In other words, the DPR is made available online in the form of a database which will help the stakeholders know areas of importance 

viz., already treated areas/historical works in the area, proposed areas for treatment etc., for further treatment and planning. The system 

would also show the satellite imageries of various years from the project inception stage to the project closing stages. This allows the user to 

evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and thereby plan corrective measures for the project area. The system would serve as an aiding tool 

to the planners and evaluators for judging the efficacy of the project. 

Yet another component of the Web-based GIS system is the Mobile based Monitoring & Evaluation System, which will help the ground staff alias 

WDTs (Watershed Development Team) to transmit information from the ground level to the central server. Also, any higher-up official in 

charge of the project can obtain information regarding the project area on their mobile phone by means of an SMS. The system works in the 



following manner. The WDT equipped with a GPS instrument marks the latitude-longitude information of various treatment areas during the 

DPR. The probable sites are then transferred onto the central server. During the works phase, any progress in the treatment areas is reported 

to the server by means of an SMS by the WDT. Similarly, any nodal officer or higher-up official can view the progress in a project by means of 

summarized reports generated over frequent periods of time. 

7.2 Plans for Project management: 

The Project management of any watershed programme is very important. It mainly depends upon the community organisation and the village 

level institutes. In Kansabad project, watershed committee, various user groups and SHGs have been formulated for post project operation and 

maintenance of assets created during project period. Major emphasis will be on equity and sustainable benefit of the project even after 

implementation stage. A proper link-up will be built during project period with various institutes and capacity building organisation. They will 

act as a major kingpin during post implementation for scaling up the successful experience during project. 

7.3 Watershed Development Fund: 

The major source of financial assistance after post implementation period is watershed Development Fund. The contribution of it will comes 

mainly fund the following: 



7.4 User Charges: 

Various user groups will be formed in village. These user groups will collect user charges according to the designated rules formed during the 

formation of user group. These funds will be transferred to the WDF funds as per these formulated rules. The secretary of watershed committee 

(WC) shall maintain the records of the following.
