State Perspective and Strategic Plan for IWMP – DoLR- PUNJAB

Chapter I

1.0 Introduction

Briefly describe physical features along with physical-cum-political map of the State.

The state of Punjab forms a part of Indo-Gangetic alluvial plane and is composed of sediments of Siwalik Hills and

Himalayas brought down and laid by the rivers of Indus system. The exact depth of the alluvium has not been

ascertained though it varies from a few meters to over 2000 meters. The state can be divided in to the following major

physiographic units.

a) Shiwalik hills

b) Piedmont plain

c) Alluvial plain

d) Sand plain

e) Flood plain

f) Palaeochannels

The Shiwalik Hills in the north-east are steeply sloping. The Shiwalik hills occupy nearly 2.6 percent area of the

state and cover sizeable area of Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, NawanShehar, Rupnagar and S.A.S Nagar districts.

The piedmont area forms a transitional zone between the shiwalik hills and alluvial terraces. It is about 10 to 15

km wide and comprises of Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, Nawanshaher, Rupnagar and SAS Nagar districts.

The Alluvial Plain/ terraces are the old flood plains of the rivers, the remnants of which lie above the level of

present river beds. Three major alluvial plains/terraces are popularly known as upper-Bari Doab covering most parts of

Tarn Taran, Amritsar and Gurdaspur districts, Bist Doab covering area between Beas and Satluj rivers and Malwa plain

area south of river Satluj.

The sand dunes are low ridges along the present and old courses of rivers and choes. At present, only 0.56% area

of the state is under Sand dunes.

The Flood plains of Ravi, Beas, Satluj and Ghaggar rivers and many seasonal rivulets cover nearly 10% area of the

state.

The Palaeo channels are believed to be the remnants of the old active channels. These areas occupy a low-lying

topographic position on the landscape.

IWMP-SPSP-PUNJAB

1.1 Briefly describe drainage systems along with state map indicating major rivers.

The drainage system plays an important role in shaping the landscape of an area due to its erosional and

depositional nature. The Satluj, Beas and Ravi rivers form the main drainage system in the state of Punjab. The

other main drainage channels in Punjab are Ghahhar river, White Bein, Black Bein, Kiran nala, Chakki River and

Sakki Nala. In addition to these major drainage channels, these are numerous choes (seasonal rivulets), originating

in the Siwalik hills and drain the Kandi area. The natural gradient of the drainage channels is generally from north-

east to south-west direction. In areas, where natural drainage is lacking, artificial drains have been dug up for the

disposal of storm water and seepage from waterlogged areas in the state. The drainage network map for the state

was updated using the satellite data acquired during the period from 2003-2004 and digitized for critical appraisal

of waterlogging, flooding and drainage congestion.

In Punjab, out of the total irrigated area, 29 percent is irrigated by canals and remaining 71 percent by tubewells.

There are six major canals system viz. Upper Bari Doab, Sirhind, Bikaner, Rajasthan, Bist Doab and Bhakra. Only

Upper Bari Doab Canal is taking off from river Ravi and the other five canals from river Satluj. The canal network

has been digitized for better perception of the command area of each major canal and their distributaries.

1.2 Brief description of all river basins

The indo-Gangetic plain, of which the Punjab is a part, stretches from the Yamuna river the east to Sulaiman

mountains (Pakistan) in the west and separates the peninsular from the extra-peninsular region. The whole

expanse of the plains, from one end to the other, is formed with unvarying monotony of Pleistocene and recent

alluvial deposits of the rivers of the Indo-Gangetic system. They have completely shrouded the old land surface to

a depth of hundreds of meters. This is one vast level plain with wide eroded channels within which the great rivers

have occasionally shifted their beds. The alluvial plain covers nearly two-third of the total geographical area of the

state.

The geological facts reveal that the Indo-Gangetic plain owes its origin to a depression of synclinal nature. The

origin of this depression or trough is intimately connected with the origin of the mountains, though its exact nature

is not known and is a matter of conjecture. This trough was later on filled up with enormous quantities of

sediments brought down from the mountains by the rivers of the Indo-Gangetic system. The exact depth of the

alluvium has not been ascertained, though it varies from less than 1,000 to over 2,000 meters. The alluvial

sdimentse comprise of massive beds of clay, silt, sand and gravels (Sehgal, 1970; Sehgal et al., 1973; Wadia,

1976) Geologically, the state of Punjab is formed by the alluvial deposits of various rivers flowing through Punjab,

namely Ravi, Beas, Satluj, Ghaggar and their tributaries. Based upon the period of deposition these are further sub

divided into recent, newer and older alluvial deposits.

The Siwalik range in the north-east of Punjab includes middle and lower Siwaliks. Thses hills are formed as a result

of the latest phase of Himalayan orogeny. Theses are composed of Pinjore boulders, conglomerates and poorly

lithified, soft and friable-sand stone and shales. The age of these deposits vary from Upper Miocene to Lower

Pleistocene. The piedmont plain in kandi Belt of Punjab state is characterized by coarse textured, poorly sorted,

sediments mixed with gravels and pebbles. It is formed due to coalescence of alluvial fans and is confined to

narrow belt along the Siwalik foot hills.

1.5. Economic Development

a. Brief description about the economic growth of the State, Growth of net state domestic product, per

capita income and comparison to national GDP and per capita income growth rate, sectoral

contribution to state domestic product, changes in occupational structure, data for last five years,

strategies for future economic growth of the State, any other important information about the State

Punjab has mainly Agriculture based Economy. Its average growth during 10th Plan has been 5.08% and the

Average Annual Compound Growth rate of gross State Income during 2006-07 has been 6.32%. The Net State domestic

Product at Factor Cost at current Prices has been Rs. 109459.44 Crores in the Year 2006-07 which has grown by 12.4%

against previous year figure. The Per capita Income at current prices in Punjab has been Rs. 40566/- as compared to the

National figure of Rs. 29642/- in the year 2006-07. The Gross State Domestic product was Rs. 123397.25 Crores in the

Year 2006-07 which constitutes a significant share of the National GDP. The per Capita Income Growth Rate in the state

has been more than 38% during the 10th Plan period. Agriculture with 30%, Industry 14% and Services (Tertiary) Sector

with 44% are the major contributors in the Gross State Domestic product. From the Year 2000 to 2006, the occupation in

the Govt. Sector has decreased from 69.73% to 66.78% while that in the Private sector has increased from 30.27% to

33.22%. for better economic growth in the future, the Agriculture Sector needs a major push/ support.

b. Role of watershed management in the State – Importance of watershed programme for the State,

historical background of watershed development in the State, current status, expected outcomes,

etc.

Out of total 50.36 lakh Ha. of geographical area of Punjab, 41.84 Lakh Ha. (83%) is under cultivation. Out of

which, 40.78 Lakh Ha. (97.5%) is irrigated. However, only 11.93 Lakh Ha. (28.5%) of cultivated area is irrigated by

canals and the remaining 29.91 Lakh Ha. (71.5%) cultivated area depends upon rainfall and groundwater for irrigation.

The uneven & erratic rainfall over the years has lead to over-exploitation of the ground water resources of the state to

the extent that 103 blocks out of total 141 blocks have been declared 'Over-exploited' and the ground water table is

depleting at an average rate of 50cm annually. Poor ground water quality & water-logging is a major challenge in a few

areas of South-western districts. Further, rampant Paddy-wheat Cycle in about 34.67 Lakh Ha. (83%) has caused severe

damage to the soil health & structure in 39% area of the state. In this context, Watershed Management Programmes

have become highly important for not only reversing the trend of deteriorating quantity & quality of ground water but

also to prevent further soil degradation.

Watershed Development started by the GOI Ministry of Agriculture during the 8th Plan with the National Watershed

Development programme for Rainfed Areas (NWDPRA) and Flood Prone River-Ghaggar-River valley project (FPR-RVP)

schemes in the Northern kandi area (5.38 Lakh Ha., nearly 10% of the total geographical area) districts of Mohali, Ropar,

Nawanshaher, Gurdaspur & Hoshiarpur districts. The All India Soil & Land Use Survey (AISLUS) has divided this area into

138 watersheds comprising of 5.16 Lakh Ha. of treatable area, out of which 97 watersheds have already been taken up

covering an area of 1.30 lakh Ha.

The Integrated Wasteland Development Programme (IWDP) of the Ministry of Rural Development was started

during the 10th Plan period. Till date, 16 projects have been started in 12 districts covering an area of 0.66 Lakh Ha.

These Projects have been formulated based on the local problems of soil & water in the project area. 3 more IWDP

projects are being proposed covering 0.35 Lakh Ha. in 3 districts.

All the above programmes of Watershed Development shall play a big role not only in improving the state of soil &

water resources thereby improving production of food grains but shall also help in socio-economic development &

ecological development of the project areas.

2.0 Agro-climatic zones

Briefly describe the agro-climatic zones of the States including the soil types, rainfall, major crops,

etc.

The climate of Punjab is dominantly sub-tropical and monsoon type. The mean annual rainfall varies from about

1200 mm in Dhar block of Gurdaspur district (wettest) to less than 300mm at Abohar (driest). Soil moisture

regimes are udic, ustic and aridic and soil temperature regime is hyperthermic. The extent of variabilities in agro-

ecological regions, soil characteristics (e.g texture, soil fertility, etc), ground water behavior, drainage, flood prone

areas, soli salinity/alkalinity, ground water quality, etc.

Based on soil and climatic parameters, the Punjab Agricultural University has divided Punjab into the following Agro

Climatic regions:-

1. Sub Mountainous undulating region or Kandi region.

2. Undulating plain region.

3. Central plain region.

4. Western plain region.

5. Southern plain region.

6. Flood Plain/Bet Area.

11

IWMP-SPSP-PUNJAB

Sub Mountainous undulating region or Kandi region

Kandi region as notified by Govt. of Punjab consists of all areas in Punjab lying to the east of Derabassi-Chandigarh-

Ropar-Balachaur-Hoshiarpur-Mukerian road. Kandi region is spread over 22 blocks in 5 districts. The boundaries of

development blocks are not coterminous with the boundaries of Kandi region. Most blocks contain both Kandi and non-

kandi area. Entire Kandi area has been declared as backward area. As the unit of development is a block, this artificial

demarcation creates some problems in the implementation of the programme. The total area of the Kandi region is not

known precisely but the total area of the above blocks is estimated to be 5 lac hectares or about 10% of the total area of

the state. Kandi area is one of the most backward area of the state. Most of the population depends on agriculture either

as farmers or as agricultural labourers. The few industrial units established to take advantage of subsidies in backward

areas are concentrated near Ropar and in few villages of Nawanshaher district. Most of the farmers have small (1-2 ha) or

marginal land holdings. Literacy especially amongst the women is very low. Most of the adult males have been

traditionally working as laborers in the town, particularly in grain markets. Out migration which was earlier temporary is

now more of less permanent. Apart from agriculture and labour, other major sources of income are animal husbandry and

sale of trees from cultivated areas and illegally from forest areas. Many poor people particularly ladies from both farming

and landless labour families collect fuel wood from hills and store it at household level for sale. Sale of trees from

cultivated areas is also at the village level to petty contractor. Most of the villages lack facilities of all whether roads, good

schools and hospitals. The total normal rainfall of the Kandi region varies from about 800 to 1500 mm, about three fourths

of which is received during rainy season in a few rainy days. The normal winter (November to March) rainfall is bout 170

mm. The minimum temperature in Dec-Jan may be close to freezing and the maximum during May-June to about 45

degrees.

12

IWMP-SPSP-PUNJAB

13

IWMP-SPSP-PUNJAB

Undulating plain region

In the Kandi region, undulating area just below the hills with 2-6% slope is used for raising crops mainly rainfed. Out of

total rainfed area of 3.75 Lac hectare in 1994-95 about 75% or 2.81 lac hectares is in the Kandi area. The average annual

rainfall of the area varies from 800mm to 1500mm with wide variations. About 80% of total rainfall is received in 3 months

from mid June to mid September. The aberrations include late start of monsoon season and its early withdrawl, long dry

spells within monsoon season and heavy showers received in a short period of 2-3 days. Open pan evaporation during

the growth period varies from about 2mm/day in December-January to about 5mm in last week of March and first week of

April. But in most of the years, maize fails because of lack of moisture at the time of maturity of crops and wheat cannot

be sown for the same reason. The entire 1.0 lac hectares rainfed wheat and 0.75 lac hectares maize is grown in this

region.

Cultivated Plain Area: Irrigated agriculture with shallow tubewells as source of water is practiced. The problems are

more or less the same as in Kandi choe related problems and other tubewell irrigated areas.

Central plain region

Extent: This region of non Kandi area of Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, Nawanshahar Roopnagar and Patiala districts, and

whole area of Jalandhar, Kapurthala Ludhiana and Fatehgarh Sahib districts and most of Sangrur and Amritsar districts.

The region constitute a little more than 50 per cent of the total area of the state.

Rainfall and irrigation: The rainfall in the region varies from 500-800 mm and about 80 per cent of which is received in a

short period 3 months (mid June to mid September). The region also receives lot of run off water from the Kandi area

through a number of channels like White Bein and Black Bein in Jalandhar and Kapurthala districts, Patiala Ki Rao and

Ghaggar in Patiala and Sangrur districts and number of Nalas originating in Kandi area of Gurdaspur and Amritsar

districts. Even though the area is irrigated by upper Bari Doab canal in Gurdaspur and Amritsar districts, Bist Doab canal

in Hoshiarpur Nawanshahar and Jalandhar districts, Sirhind Canal, Bhakra Main Canal in Ludhiana, Patiala and Sangrur

14

IWMP-SPSP-PUNJAB

districts , however, except for Sangrur and Patiala districts the area irrigated by canals is very small. Major constraints of

the region are declining water table and soil sodicity and salinity.

Decline in water table: Directorate of water resources Punjab monitors the water levels at a large number of locations.

Data from 228 selected observations well between June 1983 and June 1990 were analyzed by the scientists of the

Punjab Agricultural University for 19 Agro Climatic zones, based on soils and canal system. Their conclusion is "The

study further brought out that present normative demands are not met. If the normative demands are met the fall in water

table will be much more. One may not agree with the methodology or absolute figures but it cannot be over looked that

ground water in the sweet water zone is being over exploited and if this trend continues, it may prove disastrous for

Punjab agriculture. Every effort should be made to halt this process and if possible reverse it."

Sodic Soils Large area of land in the Semi- Arid central plains of Punjab was Affected sodicity commonly known as

kallar. Most of these lands had been lying uncultivated for long where nothing grew. The technology for the

improvement and reclamation of these soils was developed by the scientists of Central Soil Survey Research Institute

Karnal and that for rainfed areas was developed by Scientists of Punjab Agriculture University which essentially consisted

of (a) provision of a good quality ground water (b) and leveling (c) addition of gypsum (d) suitable cropping pattern and (e)

appropriate agronomic practices. The Punjab Land Development Reclamation & Development Corporation in

coordination with the Agriculture department took up the work of reclamation of sodic soil on a large scale in early

eighties. As a result of these efforts 2 lac hectare area has been reclaimed.

Western plain region & Southern plain region

Climate: South western plains region comprises of Mansa, Bhatinda, Faridkot and Ferozepur districts. The total area of

the region is 17.14 lac hectares forming 35 per cent of the state. The rainfall varies from 260 mm in Abohar to 450 mm in

Ferozepur. About 80 per cent of total rain is received in 3 months July to September but is not enough to meet

evaporative demand of the crop. Rainfall is not only low but also highly risky. Average annual mean temperature is about

15

IWMP-SPSP-PUNJAB

25 degree C with the lowest minimum close to freezing point in December- January and highest (above 40 degree C) in

June.

Ground Water: Most of the ground water in the region have moderate to high salinity and sodicity hazards and thus

cannot be used for irrigation for prolonged periods.

Irrigation: Successful agriculture in the region is possible without irrigation. Ground water is either not available or not

suitable for irrigation because of high salinity or sodicity hazard. The only alternative is to provide canal irrigation. Sirhind

canal was the first canal to be constructed for providing irrigation to this area. Water from this canal head works at Ropar

on river Satluj was released in 1882. Now the region is being irrigated by following canal system.

Sirhind Canal

Sirhind Feeder

Eastern Canal

Out of total net irrigated area of 13.69 lac Hect. in the region in 1994-95, 9.66 lac hectare (71%) is irrigated by canals.

About two third of the net irrigated area of canals in the state is in this region. In recent years there has been an increase

in the tube well irrigated area, particularly in Ferozepur district where 46 per cent of total net area is irrigated by tube

wells. Because of the serious water quality problem this would need careful monitoring. In this south-western plains

region 88 per cent of total area is under cultivation. Cropping intensity in the region is 179 and of the total 27.75 lac

hectares cropped area, 26.66 lac hectares or 96 per cent is irrigated.

Flood Plain/Beet Area

An area of 10138 hectares in Punjab is Beet area falling under Hoshiarpur district. Rains are scanty and there are no

definite sources of irrigation like canals, ponds etc. The groundwater table is normally very deep with tubewell bores

running to a depth of more than 650 feet. Like submountaneous area, the land is undulating and soil is very deep. Main

problem of bet area is the lack of water for irrigation and even for drinking purposes.

3.0 Demography and land distribution – an overview

Growth in population during the last three census’ , per capita availability of land, sex ratio, population age

group in the State, literacy level, migration, workforce available in different sectors of the economy,

demography of SC,ST, BPL and landless families in the State in the last ten years, etc.

The Population during the last 3 Census' in the Year 1981, 1991 and 2001 was 1.68 Crores, 2.03 Crores and 2.44

Crores respectively marking a Growth of 45% in these 2 decades. The Average Size of Land Holding has been 4.03 Ha.

and the Sex Ratio in 2001 was 876. As per 2001 Census, there were 1.30 Crore Males and 1.14 Crore Females in the

state, out of which 0.32 Crores were Children in the Age Group (0-6). The Literacy rate has been 69.7% excluding the

Children in the Age Group (0-6). The migration of population is small proportions is either to big cities or foreign shores.

Out of total workforce of 91.27 Lakh, 20.65 Lakh are Cultivators, 14.90 Lakh are Agricultural Labourers and the remaining

are in other Main & marginal industries. There are 12.55 Lakh SC, 0 ST, 0.93 Lakh BPL and 2.09 Lakh Landless families in

most of the Govt. schemes of Social, Agricultural & rural development. The ongoing watershed development programmes

of NWDPRA & IWDP are being implemented through PRIs only. The Common Property Resource (CPR) may be defined as

categorization of area under different land use/ land cover categories in different socio-cultural zones apart from

Agriculture, residential of industrial uses. There is 3.00 Lakh Ha. of Built-up land, 43.70 Lakh Ha. Agricultural Land, 1.54

4.0 Land Use Pattern

4.1 Brief description about land use planning and agriculture land in the state:

There is 3.00 Lakh Ha. of Built-up land, 43.70 Lakh Ha. Agricultural Land, 1.54 Lakh Ha. of forests, 0.98 Lakh Ha.

Wastelands, 0.96 Lakh Ha. under Water bodies and 0.19 lakh Ha. of wetlands in the state.

4.2 Mechanism in the State for land use conversion, establishment of Land Use Board in the State,

conversion of agricultural land to other uses in the last five years, brief description of other uses to which

agricultural land has been converted, extent to which area under wastelands has been reclaimed and the

uses to which the reclaimed land has been put, etc.

At present, the Revenue department gives the permission for land use conversion in the state. A State Land Use

Board was established under a GOI Scheme which has become redundant now due to scrapping of GOI scheme. The Net

Sown Area has reduced from 42.50 Lakh Ha. in the Year 2000-01 to 41.84 Lakh Ha. in the Year 2006-07. The agricultural

land is decreasing as it is being converted to residential & industrial land in the state. An area of 66157 Ha. of wasteland

has been reclaimed and put to productive agriculture use.

4.3 Irrigated areas

a) Brief description about irrigated area in the State – major sources of irrigation – effect of climate

change on irrigation – increase or decrease in irrigated area in the last five years – effect on crop

yields, productivity and change in cropping pattern.

Out of total 50.36 lakh Ha. of geographical area of Punjab, 41.84 Lakh Ha. (83%) is under cultivation. Out

of which, 40.78 Lakh Ha. (97.5%) is irrigated. However, only 11.93 Lakh Ha. (28.5%) of cultivated area is irrigated

by canals and the remaining 29.91 Lakh Ha. (71.5%) cultivated area depends upon rainfall and groundwater for

irrigation. The uneven & erratic rainfall / climate over the years has lead to over-exploitation of the ground water

resources of the state to the extent that 103 blocks out of total 141 blocks have been declared 'Over-exploited' and

the ground water table is depleting at an average rate of 50cm annually. The Net Irrigated Area has marginally

increased from 40.38 Lakh Ha. in the Year 2000-01 to 40.78 Lakh Ha. in the Year 2006-07. However, this change

has been affected due to a rise in the no. of Tubewells to 12.32 Lakhs, higher drawl from underground water

aquifers and the area irrigated by canals has in fact decreased during this period. From 2000-01 to 2006-07, there

has been an increase in yield of Rice from 3506 kg/Ha to 3868 Kg/ha and decrease in the Yield of Wheat from

4563 kg/Ha to 4210 Kg/ha. During this period, the area under Rice has increased from 26.12 Lakh Ha to 26.21

Lakh Ha. and the area under Wheat has increased from 34.08 Lakh Ha to 34.67 Lakh Ha.

b. Establish and maintain a state level data cell from the funds sanctioned to the States, and connect it online with the

National Level

Data Centre.

c. Provide technical support to District Watershed Development Units (DWDU) throughout the state.

d. Approve a list of independent institutions for capacity building of various stakeholders within the state and work out the

overall capacity building strategy in consultation with NRAA/Nodal Ministry.

e. Approve Project Implementing Agencies identified/selected by DWDU/ District Level Committee by adopting

appropriate objective selection criteria and transparent systems.

f. Establish monitoring, evaluation and learning systems at various levels (Internal and external/ independent systems).

g. Ensure regular and quality on-line monitoring of watershed projects in the state in association with Nodal Agency at the

central level and securing feedback by developing partnerships with independent and capable agencies.
