Tank Rehabilitation Programme in Pondicherry
Forming and Registering Tank Associations• General Body constituted with 1 male and 1
female representative from each household in the village.
• The GB elects an executive committee.• Adequate representation to all sections with
“weighted voting”.• Special emphasis on representation for
landless, dalits &women
The Case

Reason for Rehabilitation
Tank association trained and guided to evolve action plan for rehabilitation of the tank. Because of exclusive reliance on ground water over the last two decades the tank system was in disuse, the ground water was depleted with saline water ingress, and large areas had no access to groundwater as they were unable to deepen the bore well. The community had to understand that the solution lay not in more ground water but in tank rehabilitation.
The Case

Methodoogy
• Tank association came up with new technological solution - the underground water conduit- for a locale specific problem and the engineers finally consented.
• New social solutions also involved to give landless benefits from tank rehabilitation - fish culture, and fodder cultivation.

The Village Tanks
• Local community resources
• Indigenous, traditional technology
• Agricultural lifeline
• Predominantly in the Deccan Plateau, Eastern India and Chhotanagpur Plateau due to undulating topography.

Importance of Tanks and Need for Rehabilitation
• There are 2-3.5 lakh tanks irrigating 3 mha of land (Total land 563 mha).
• In Orissa alone 3 lakh ha is irrigated by tanks.
• 40% of the Indian landmass is arid i.e. 500-1000 mm of annual rainfall.

Questions Being Asked
• Is rehabilitation really required?
• What about their present role?
• The present stakeholders?... Petta Cultivation
• Do all tanks qualify? (Traditional Approach)

The World Bank fundedKarnataka Community Based TankManagement Project consists ofthree components: 1)undertaking tank system improvements;
2) establishing an enabling environment for the sustainable, decentralized management of tank systems; and
3) strengthening community-based institutions to assume responsibility for tank system development and management (World Bank, 2002).
