  Undertaking Tank System Improvements  
  The overall objectives of this component are to
  • Improve the physical and operational performance of selected tanks through a range of interventions identified and executed by local tank users, including any necessary treatment of the feeder drainage channels above the tank reservoir,
  • Improve on-farm water management, cropping patterns, technology adoption and crop cultural practices to improve agricultural and horticulture production and incomes,
  • Establish other income generating activities associated with the tank system, and
  • Identify and prototype other opportunities to optimize the productivity and income generation from tank systems.
 
     
  A pre-planning review and analysis of some 3,000 candidate tanks within the nine districts and 34 taluks of the project, among which some 2,000 tanks would be selected for treatment, would determine the scope of the component. The scope of work for tank improvement and the supporting activities to improve agricultural and other income generating activities associated with each tank would be determined on the basis of detailed ITDPs prepared through a participatory consultation and decision process with tank users groups. The actual activities selected for inclusion in an individual ITDP would be chosen from a menu of possible candidate physical works and specific supporting activities for improving agricultural production and incomes and other income generating activities for each tank.
