Diversion Based Irrigation Management(DBIM)
DBIM...
Home
CInI proposes to establish DBIM as a supporting tool for ensuring food security
in tribal dominated Central Indian states. This is done by acting as a resource
organization for DBIM in the Central Indian states, capacitating organizations to
implement DBIM schemes which will enhance the irrigation potential and increase
income of the community by ensuring irrigation and promoting
second
crop.

A diversion based irrigation system diverts a portion of water from a natural source
like spring/ mountainous stream or any Water Harvesting Structure and uses it with
or without intermediate storage for the purpose of irrigating crops. The system
consists of three main components namely inlet/storage structure, conduit for conveying
water to the farm from the inlet and an outlet for discharging water into field.
All surface flow irrigation schemes
which are exclusively based on irrigation by gravity flow could be covered under
this theme. It can be broadly classified
in three categories namely flow, storage and lift based DBI.
