8 Purohit, R. C.; Gosain, A. K. 1989. Irrigation scheduling - Theoretical approach and practical considerations. Paper presented at National Seminar on Irrigation Scheduling, Rajasthan Agricultural University, Udaipur, India, March 1989. 11p.
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 831 Record No: H05880)
Efficient water management is fast becoming more important as water multipurpose uses increases. Scheduling and determining of irrigation water applications are important considerations given limited water resources and increasing concern about agricultural productivity. Although considerable effort has been devoted in the last two decades to refine the traditional techniques of irrigation scheduling, there is still room for an increased understanding on how the involved physical processes interact and effect the irrigation schedules and their measure of performance. The paper highlights irrigation scheduling techniques and some practical considerations and gives guidelines for future research in the Indian context.

Ethnographic research in the central Aravalli Hills of Rajastan documents a coherent system of groundwater irrigation distinctively different from the system of dams, weirs, and perennial canals redesigned for India by the British during the early nineteenth century and continued by contemporary Indian governments. This paper articulates these indigenous principles and practices and contrasts them with those found in the scholarly literature on irrigation in Rajastan which follows modern engineering concerns. Our analysis indicates a different set of questions to guide future research on surface impoundments and groundwater management. Furthermore, this study has broader implications for an understanding of the human-shaped hydrology of northwestern India, where the earlier system has been overlaid, but not fully displaced by subsequent irrigation projects. Indeed, indigenous practices involving groundwater recharge and retrieval may have continued to flourish and expand, achieving a new order of hydrologic and adaptive complexity, through the local initiative of the peasantry to adapt to the unintended spillage, soakage, and siltage from the grand system of dams and perennial canals constructed by the state.
