Input use pattern of water users’ association in Periayr-Vaigai river basin

Abstract

Given the existing water supply scenarios, the demand management strategies will be considered more relevant for the efficient management of the available supplies. Therefore, what is needed is the clear understanding of the value of water in alternate uses as well as the incentive to allocate the water among competing crops and uses in different river basins. This will also help to work out the performance of both irrigation and agriculture sectors at basin level. Accordingly, the following objectives are set forth: to discuss the characteristics of WUAs and the impact of such characteristics on the water use efficiency of the selected farms to examine the participation of farmers under WUAs in the selected area The deliverables will be a boost for water user association and find a way possible ways for the water use in a economic prospects.
