1 Bowers, S. A.; Clyma, W.; Johnson, S. H.; Kemper, W. D.; Reuss, J. O. 1977. Watercourse improvement in Pakistan: Pilot study in cooperation with farmers at Tubewell 56L. Fort Collins, CO, USA: Colorado State University. xv, 93p. (Water management technical report no.45)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.7 G730 BOW Record No: H0335)
Over half of the water supplied to the watercourse at Tubewell 56L was lost before it reached the farmer's fields. This loss was primarily through the upper porous portions of the banks and in the vicinity of junctions where banks were thin. The 35 farmers in the 900-acre area served by this watercourse were motivated to organize themselves to rebuild their own earthen watercourse, according to specifications drawn up by Pakistani engineers. Low cost concrete diversion structures were developed and installed at junctions to eliminate continued burrowing of soil and degradation of banks near the junctions. The improvements reduced losses to about one-half their previous values and increased deliveries to the fields by over 50 percent. This watercourse improvement appears to be an ideal component for a development program designed to increase crop production. However, farmers require further information on how to use this water and other inputs to optimize crop production if they are to obtain full benefits from this extra water.
