Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A survey was conducted to assess the existing water management practices in flood control and drainage (FCD) system through field visits and interviews using pre-designed questionnaire by interviewing 40 different type of water management stakeholders such as farmer, traders, school teacher, chairman, fisherman, etc. Recorded impact of water management infrastructure (WMI) indicated impact of different water management infrastructure such as embankment, regulator, sluice, culvert, cross band, DTW, STW, LLPc. Seven cross dams constructed by the local people were found in various canals in the eastern part of the sub-project, where water scarcity during the dry season is severe. Five among those are primarily used to retain water for irrigation. The remaining two, located in Telikhari Khals are also intensively used by the inhabitants of the villages located along the Khal for domestic purpose. One concrete cross dam at the end of Mahadara Khal was constructed by the chairmen and the local people to retain water. In 1996, under SRP this cross dam has been replaced by a 5-vent water control structure.
