One of the major strategies for promoting DBIM is to enhance the capacity of the
organizations working in the field of Diversion Based Irrigation.
To demystify and
simplify the technology CInI as a resource organization has developed a technical
manual and design software.
Technical Manual on DBI:
A detailed technical manual covering various aspects including the design of various DBI systems has been developed. The manual will enable practitioners and users from all background
to refer to intuitively.
The chapters covered in the manual are About
This Handbook – CInI’s purpose, context and
relevance, Introduction – definition, types, traditional efforts and steps involved
for each chapter,
Promoting Water Users’ Association, Developing the Project - survey,
water availability, command area and crops grown, Designing
the Diversion Based
Irrigation System - Head work and conveyance, Implementing the DBI System - pipe
layout, Transformation - from rainfed to irrigated agriculture and Sustainability,
Impact and Challenges.
Software on DBI: A comprehensive software
capable of designing and estimating diversion based systems; covering the design,
estimate, drawing and material requirements of the three types of DBI namely flow,
storage and lift based DBI is in progress. The software will enable organisations
working on the field of DBI to implement the schemes effectively. The software would enhance the capacity of practitioners
and organisations in designing and estimating the schemes perfectly. This will help CInI to disseminate the theme to a larger area and
promote DBI as successful and
replicable models.
