Abstract: Study area has been divided into 34 blocks and drainage planning was done. CN- method was used to arrive at runoff volume which was converted into drainage coefficients. Drains were designed to carry these drainage volumes safely and quickly from the blocks to the outlets. To meet out the shortage of water during critical dry spells experienced during crop growth period, 4 Lift Irrigation Schemes (LIS) were proposed in the study to utilize the available flows in the rivulet during Kharif period and also during the initial phase of Rabi crop. Besides this surface water utilization was proposed to be increased by repair and maintenance of the existing diversion canal of Bharri Dam. Peak carrying capacity of the diversion canal was worked out to be 85 lps and the irrigation command of it is 32.5 ha. It was found that there are 42 no. of bore wells in which 32 is working and 10 bore wells is not working. The average discharge and water level fluctuation for 5 year period was found to be 5.8 lps and 12.35 m respectively. The potential of water resources was estimated. The available surface water and ground water during study period was found 0.71 MCM and 0.50MCM.
