MAJOR ACTIVITITES:- Diversion Based irrigation programme :-
Implementing PAHAD organization to Strengthening Community Based Organization (CBOs)
for societal peace and development work on Diversion Based Irrigation . This DBI Programme
fund supported by SIR DORABJI TATA TRUST Bombay.. PAHAD has experienced and realized
that people’s participation, involvement and contribution as per their capacity was basic and
paramount requisite for both societal peace as well as individual’s development. Therefore
Community Based Organizations of different peer groups such as Women’s Self Help
Groups, Farmers Clubs etc. have been formed as per specific need and interest of these
groups.
:- Diversion based Irrigation (DBI) was simple and cost effective method that applies
gravitational force to guide water from adjacent streams and rivers to the cropping field
areas. Hence, DBI also known as “Gravity Flow Systems was suitable for irrigation propose in
hilly and mountain area. Capacitating organizations to implement DBI schemes which will
enhance the irrigation potential and increase income of the community by ensuring irrigation
and promoting second crop Or more.
A diversion based irrigation system diverts a portion of water from a natural source
like spring/ mountainous stream or any Water Harvesting Structure and uses it with or
without intermediate storage for the purpose of irrigating crops. The system consists of three
main components namely inlet/storage structure, conduit for conveying water to the farm
from the inlet and an outlet for discharging water into field.

-All surface flow irrigation schemes which are exclusively based on irrigation by gravity
flow could be covered under this theme. It can be broadly classified in three categories
namely flow, storage and lift based DBI.
It is used to assist in the growing of agricultural crops, maintenance
of landscapes, and re vegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of
inadequate rainfall. Additionally, irrigation also has a few other uses in crop production,
which include protecting plants against frost , suppressing weed growth in grain
fields, and preventing soil consolidation, In contrast, agriculture that relies only on direct
rainfall is referred to as rain-fed or dry land farming. Irrigation systems are also used
for dust suppression, disposal of sewage, The implementing agency PAHAD is
coordinating and monitoring the DBI sites of village Gumurikhol , Rajikakhol and
