Water Management through alignment of long channel

Shri Morubhai Vasava has dug a 1.5-2 kms. of long water channel to irrigate his field on the hill, which is situated at a high elevation where there was no possibility of getting water except rain. A stream flows about 2 kms. away through an elevated part of an adjoining hill. He has dug a water channel from that point with the help of a `Kudali', along the contour. A small reservoir has been prepared at the entrance of the field. Whenever he needs water for irrigation, he blocks the flow of water in the stream by making a bund and diverts it in to the field channel. He grows sugarcane, lemon, groundnut and other winter as well as summer crops with the help of this irrigation method. He had personally dug out this water channel according to this own idea and never allowed others to use it. However, this year, he plans to allow some neighbouring farmers who offered help to repair the channel after monsoon.
