Dudhi Project
| Salient features of underground irrigation systemTraditionally, water is provided in every 40 hectares in the open canal system. From here, arrangements are made to carry water to the farmer’s respective fields. This involves leveling the land and creating a drainage system within the field. The specialty of the project is that it will be provided with an outlet through an underground pipe canal distribution system for every 2.5 hectares of land area. Water will be available at this outlet with sufficient pressure. Farmers will be able to use sprinkler method or drip method for irrigation. The cost of 21 thousand 139 hectares of land in 61 villages of Pipariya assembly is worth Rs 5739.32 crores. |
The Dudhi irrigation project to be constructed near Dhadav village of Barkhedi tehsil of Narmadapuram district will open the doors of prosperity for the farmers. A dam of 162 meter length and 38 meter height will be constructed on Dudhi river.
