Demand for water is increasing daily. Since the water potential of Tamil Nadu is limited and most fully utilized at present, the increased demand in another 20 years is to be met only by introducing advanced techniques in water conservation and management. The demand for water in 2000 A. D. is estimated to about 5.00 + 1.80 = 6.80 MHM whereas the State's water potential is estimated only about 5.50 MHM. This demand is also based on the reduced requirements of water for various crops taking into account the water management research results achieved and to be obtained in another 20 years. The gap between the demand and supply can be met with by taking up many measures as indicated. The very important measure is to create agencies to take up conservation, storage, distribution and management of water resources and also strengthening the research activities on water of the State. It is possible to meet the challenges if adequate action is initiated as suggested immediately without wasting time. The scientists, administrators and the government should view the task as a very serious and important one, so that the water problem of the State could be solved and the required food and other facilities for the State would be achieved in the year 2000 A.D.

Tank irrigation systems are very common in South India, accounting for about one-third of the irrigated area. Most of these tanks are about 100 years old and the performance is not satisfactory due to poor operation and maintenance. Many of the tanks were neglected and lost much of their original storage capacity due to encroachment, siltation and inadequate maintenance. To study the management of tank irrigation systems and to identify investment opportunities, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University and the University of Minnesota have been analyzing ten tanks in Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu. Farmers depended heavily on the groundwater for supplementing tank water supplies. About one-third of their water supplies came from wells. Most of the farmers served by tanks grow only one paddy crop. Farmers with inadequate water supplies adopted a network of strategies ranging from heavy fertilizer applications to a 4 to 7 day irrigation rotation to save their crops. This study identifies a number of key tank characteristics that effect crops. These characteristics were related to the inadequate tank water supplies and the poor distribution of available supplies.

The paper focuses on the rehabilitation and management of the almost 40,000 tanks in Tamil Nadu, India. Many of the tanks have been in use for over a century and have been declining in productivity. Rehabilitation investments offer good rates of return if appropriate tanks and investments are selected. The chapter concludes with a simplified procedure, using secondary data, for identifying the appropriate tanks for rehabilitation.

Presents the findings from a pilot project study of a tank rehabilitation project in Tamil Nadu. The objectives of the study were to (1) examine the present status of the tank system and design measures to remedy the deficiencies; (2) implement the needed physical improvements and suggest measures for better water distribution and management; and (3) monitor the post rehabilitation irrigation practices adopted by farmers and evaluate their effectiveness. A comprehensive diagnostic analysis was undertaken and suggestions were made regarding the improvements needed for the physical facilities.
