Government notification
Through a notification issued on July 23, 2001, the Maharashtra government has made the participatory irrigation management programme compulsory. Its salient features are as follows:
The farmers' cooperatives will take up all irrigation work, including dam construction and maintenance
They will choose their chairperson
The farmers would take care of the water account
Water will be distributed to the farmers on a volumetric basis rather than allotment of an area-wise quota
The notification lifts the restriction on the choice of crops. There will be a sanctioned quota of water for each crop, which may be released on the basis of the crop selected
