Baseline Studies of Irrigation Projects:

National Water Mission (NWM) has awarded 26 Baseline Studies to four institutes covering six states with objective to evaluate water use efficiency of the completed major/medium irrigation projects. The efficiencies of various component of the project so estimated shall be compared with efficiencies considered at project formulation state (DPR stage). The reason for differences in two efficiencies shall be identified, analysed and suitable remedial measures to improve the efficiencies shall be recommended to bring the efficiencies of various components of project to the level considered at project formulation state.

Status of Baseline Studies for improving Water Use Efficiency (WUE).
