It is proposed to construct W.H.S, farm ponds, percolation tanks and improvement of<br />

W.H.S, Diversion weir and Cross bunds in the non-irrigated rain-fed patches under BRGF<br />

scheme which will solve the following problems.<br />

• Provide life saving irrigation to the nearby crop field<br />

• Check the soil erosive velocity of water and erosion of soil<br />

• Recharge the ground water and thus improve the ground water level<br />

• Generate employment opportunity<br />

These projects would be implemented in identified watershed area. The user groups<br />

would be formed and their involvement in operation of the scheme would be ensured so that<br />

the projects after their completion would be handed over to them for their future proper<br />

maintenance.<br />

The Soil conservation department is actively involved in taking up soil and water<br />

conservation projects in watershed approach. The funds are being sourced from the Orissa<br />

Watershed Mission. Under NREGA, priority has been given to create water harvesting<br />

structures and farm ponds on a large scale.<br />
