SCHEDULE A-2 –SHALLOW TUBEWELL

 

Note:  The well had to be enumerated only when it is meant for irrigation and is complete.  A shallow tube-well is, which consists of a borehole built into ground with the purpose of tapping ground water from previous zones.  These tube-wells are either cavity tube-wells or strainer tube wells usually drilled by percussion method of using hand boring sets and sometimes percussion rigs coir structures from by binding coir stringe over a iron frame or bamboo frame are used as strainer.  Bore-wells in which borehole is stable without a lining in the bottom portion and a tube is inserted only in the upper zone are also shallow tube wells.

    A tube well depth up to 70 meters in sedimentary formation and with a discharge of 100 to 300 cubic meters per day (with 7 to 8 hours of running in a day) during irrigation season and with a culturable command area of not less than 4 hectares may be taken as shallow tube well.

Column 1: All shallow tube well in the village are to be serially numbered to ensures that none is missed.  Serial number of shallow tube-well in the village is to be noted under this column.

Column 2(a): The owner of the shallow tube well may be a farmer/cooperative society/government department/organisations/ group of farmers.  The name of the owner is to be indicated in this column.  In case of absentee, it may be enquired from the neighbour of the person who is in possession of the shallow tube well and the appropriate code no. be noted as indicated below:

Code no.:  Description

1.                  Government owned

2.                  Cooperative owned

3.                  Panchayat owned

4.                  Owned by group of farmers

5.                  Owned by individual farmers

6.                  Others.

Column 2(b): khasra number/plot no./survey no. in which the shallow tube well is installed be noted in the column for physical verification etc. which may be needed at a later date.

Column3: Under this column, size of the ownership holding is to be considered.  Ownership holding will not include the land leased in or leased out from/to the other farmers for cultivation by the owner of the scheme. The appropriate code no. be noted as given below:-

Code no.:  Holding size

1.                  0-1 ha. (marginal farmers)

2.                  1-2 ha. (small farmers)

3.                  2-10 ha. (medium farmers)

4.                  More than 10 ha. (Big farmers)

Column 4: Appropriate code no. would be indicated under it for scheduled caste or schedule tribe, others as the case may be as given below:

Code no.:  Social status

1.                       Schedule Caste

2.                       Schedule Tribe

3.                       Others.

Column5: Appropriate code no. for the year of commissioning of the scheme should be mentioned.  The scheme which were installed during 1986-87 or before are to be indicated with Code no. ‘1’ only. Code nos. are given below:

Code no.:  Year of commissioning

1.                On or before 1986-87

2.                During 1987-88

3.                During 1988-89

4.                During 1989-90

5.                During 1990-91

6.                During 1991-92

7.                During 1992-93

8.                During 1993-94

Column 6: Shallow tube-wells are classified into three types and appropriate code no. be noted as given below:

Code no.:

1.                  Shallow tube well: A tube well is sedimentary formations not exceeding 7 meters in depth and discharge.

2.                  Filter point: Small diameters tube well (less than 75m.m. diameter) from which water is lifted mostly manually may be termed as filter point.

3.                  Bore well: Shallow tube well in the hard rock areas are called bore well because in such wells the bore-hole is able to hold on its own in the bottom portion and a tube is pushed only in the upper weathered zone.

4.                  Others.

Column 7: The purpose is to know whether the well is in use at present or not.  The appropriate code be noted as below:

Code no.:

1.                  In use: if tube well is presently (i.e. during 1993-94) being used for irrigation.

2.                  Not in use: temporarily: if the tube well is not in use during last two years due to temporary reasons but has also not been abandoned for use.

3.                  Not in use: permanently: if the tube well is not in use and has been abandoned due to salinity.

4.                  Permanently abandoned due to dry up.

5.                  Permanently destroyed beyond repair

6.                  Permanently abandoned due to any other reason.

Column 8: It is intended to find out the sources of financing the scheme which could be through farmers’ own savings; bank loan or government subsidies.  It may be indicated as any of the following alternatives and appropriate code number be noted:

Code no:   

1. Government Funds

2.Own saving of farmers

3.Bank loan and savings

4.Govermnent subsidy and bank loan

5.Government subsidy only

6.Others.

Column 9: Farmers are adopting different types of water conveyance channel and irrigation methods.  Recently, sprinkler and drip irrigation methods have gained popularity among the farmers besides continuing conventional methods of ground water channel, under ground water channel, etc.  Appropriate code (s) is to be indicated for the water distribution device being used by the farmers and indicated below:

Code no. Device used

1.                     Sprinkler

2.                     Drip

3.                     Open water channel

4.                     Under Ground Channel

5.                     Others

Column 10 to 13: Length of the channel is to be recorded in meters under these columns.  In a scheme, there can be pucca channel, kuccha channel or under ground channel or even a combination of these.

Column14: The device used for lifting water from the well is to be indicated by appropriate code no. as given below:

Code no.: Lifting device

1.                  Electric pump

2.                  Diesel pump

3.                  Wind mills

4.                  Solar pumps

5.                  Manual/animal driven

6.                  Others.

Column 15: Record the horsepower (HP) of the prime mover used for lifting water.

Column 16: It is to be noted that on an average, for how many hours per day, the water is being pumped out from the well during peak days of a season.

Column 17: Under this col. the area which is proposed to be irrigated by the shallow tube well should be indicated in ha. It is generally the measurement of the field proposed to be irrigated by the shallow tube well at the time of installation.  In case the well is very old and the culturable command area is not available, the current maximum culturable command area of the well has to be noted.

Column 18: Sometimes several minor irrigation schemes are located in the commands of major and medium schemes for conjunctive use.  Such schemes have to be numerated.  The appropriate code no. be noted as given below:-

Code no.

1.                  Yes.

2.                  No.

Column 19 to 23: It is intended to find out the gross potential created from the scheme. It will indicate the area under kharif, rabi, perennial and other crops is proposed to be irrigated.  The total of the column 19 to 22 is to be noted in column 23.  The figures under columns 19,20,21&22 should be season-wise area proposed to be irrigated by the scheme.  If  the well has been improved upon or augmented, than revised potential is to be indicated. column 23 will indicate the gross irrigation potential created.  The figures in column 23 would certainly be higher or equal to the CCA reported in column 17.

Column 24 to 28: In these columns, the area actually irrigated during kharif, rabi, perennial crops and other crops is to be indicated.  The area irrigated under different seasons may be taken for the year 1993-94 i.e. commencing kharif in 1993 and ending rabi 1994.  column 28 will indicate the gross irrigation potential utilised.  Figures in column 28 would be less than or equal to the figure in column 23.

Column 29 to 33: Some of the minor irrigation shallow tube wells are located in commands of major/medium irrigation projects.  And thus, they serve the purpose of supplementary irrigation.  In order to assess the extent of such supplementary irrigation, data is to be recorded under column 29 to column 33 regarding area which has also received irrigation from major/medium sources during the same crop season.  And that area is to be recorded season-wise.

 

Column 34: The idea is to find out the reasons for the short fall between the figures under the column. 23 and 28.  The appropriate code no. as mentioned below be noted:

Code no.:  Constraints

1.                  Non-availability of adequate power

2.                  Mechanical break down

3.                  Less water discharge in the well

4.                  Any other reason.
