Irrigation Efficiency Improvement: Improper and inefficient use of irrigation water by the farmers is causing lot of wastage of precious irrigation water, reduced crop productivity and water logging conditions. World Bank is supporting SID to address these issues through WSIP and OFWMP projects primarily through capacity building programs of the farmers’ organizations. Similar programs should be extended to Guddu command area for improved efficiency in using irrigation water. These will include (i) support and training to farmers in more productive use of waters and crop management, and (ii) capacity building of the Watercourse Associations in promoting water productivity and establishing schedules of water delivery, allocation, distribution, and ensuring the members’ entitlement (share of water) on time. Overview of Impacts and Mitigating Measures An overview of all impacts and mitigating measures, including responsibilities and monitoring requirements, is given in Table 5.
