The research on mechanized construction and maintenance of the earthen watercourses was started at Mona Reclamation Project to review and evaluate its feasibility under current conditions of Pakistan. The research took into consideration cost, water saved, and suitability of locally made equipment for mechanical cleaning. The farmers' response was also studied. Conventional mechanized ditching equipment and procedures were adopted. Eight test channels were installed and later evaluated for performance. With the guidance of the project staff, the water users mechanically replaced the existing watercourses. The site water users accomplished all labor and other related works during the construction period. Subsequent cleanings were done with the same ditcher. The results indicate that mechanized construction of the earthen channel is technically feasible and economically viable. The channel delivery efficiency was increased from 60% to 81%. Average construction and maintenance costs were Rs.18.98 and Rs.0.16 per meter, respectively. Although the farmers have not yet assumed full responsibility, the water users appreciate this technology. If adequate training facilities, equipment, and services are provided, mechanized construction and maintenance have the potential to be adopted locally.

A spreadsheet model, simulating water balance in the root zone and irrigation scheduling, was developed and tested at the Mona Reclamation Project for validity under actual field conditions (Mohy-ud-Din, 1990). Preliminary data collected and used for model development and computer simulation included crops grown with growth stages, crop coefficients, effective rainfall, irrigation required and applied, texture, field capacity and wilting point of soils. The irrigation model was used to evaluate existing cropping pattern, irrigation practices and then for matching the cropping pattern with irrigation supplies at farm. The area under each crop was decreased or increased gently with changes made in planting calendars. Results indicated that the spreadsheet model works well enough to assess the frequency and depth of irrigation under actual field conditions. In all, 74% of the farmers irrigated earlier or later than the optimum time determined by the model; only 26% irrigated as indicated by the model. They planted more area, expecting more rainfall, consequently crops were stressed and yields were low. About 64 acre-inches deficit in irrigation supplies was observed, which was reduced to 9 acre-inches when designed cropping pattern with 14% increased in GVP was followed. This implies that computer simulation helps match the cropping pattern with irrigation supplies to minimize the deficit problems and increase yield. The research work for further irrigation model refinements, and for developing optimized cropping pattern should continue. But its results should be tested with selected farmers to evaluate its impact on agricultural production and the growers' acceptance.
