construction rain water harvesting structures (Jal Sanchay)

peak rainy season
- Improvement in water management and
distribution system for water bodies to take advantage of the available
source which is not tapped to its fullest capacity (deriving benefits from
low hanging fruits). At least 10% of the command area to be covered under
micro/precision irrigation
- Diversion of water from source of different
location where it is plenty to nearby water scarce areas, lift irrigation
from water bodies/rivers at lower elevation to supplement requirements
beyond IWMP and MGNREGS irrespective of irrigation command
