Performance evaluation of upper wardha irrigation project using remote sensing and GIS - Vol.39(4), Oct - Roorkee Indian Water Resources Society 2018 - 6-14p.

In view of mounting pressure on improving freshwater use efficiency by all the sectors, the performance of existing irrigation
improvement measures must be taken up. In the present study, the performance of Upper Wardha Irrigation project in Amravati district of India was evaluated
using sixcomparative indicators.These indicators are classified into three groups namely, water-use performance, physical performance, and environmental
III sensors along with field observed data were used to derive inputs to estimate their performance
indicators. The results indicate that water is excessively used in some parts of the command area while supply is inadequate in the tail region of the command.
pply is not equally distributed among all the distributaries and within the distributary itself. There is no apparent problem
degradation in terms of waterlogging, rising water table or soil salinity in the command area.
