SECTION – II PROJECT DETAILSPROJECT DESCRIPTION The CAD wing of I& CAD Department Government of AP in partnership with Government of India and world bank is implementing ‘Andhra Pradesh Community Based Tank Management Project (APCBTMP)’ for improvement and management of minor irrigation tanks through monitoring to promote self sustaining water management by the WUAs for maximizing the economic returns through increased water use efficiency. The project adopts to assist “selected tank based ayacutdars to improve agricultural productivity and water use associations to manage tank systems effectively”.

There are about 11,300 tanks in a Andhra Pradesh each with a culture able command area (CCA) of 40 hectares or more. Of these about 3000 tanks with CCA varying between 40 to 2000 hectares having a total command area of 2.5 lakhs ha are proposed to be rehabilitated under the project (spread across 21 districts of the state) Originally the Project has to be implemented in a phased manner over a period of five years from 2007-12. Latter the Program was extended up to 9/14.

The major components of the project are:

Institutional Strengthening: The objective of this component is to enable community – based institutions – Water User Associations (WUAs), Fishing Cooperative Societies (FCSs), Farmer Interest Groups (FIGs) assume greater responsibility for tank system management and for improvement of tank based agricultural livelihoods.

Minor irrigation system improvements: The overall objective of this component is to enhance the efficiency of water use in tank areas selected under this project. Activities to be undertaken fall under two sub-components.

Tank Systems Improvements: The objectives of this sub-component are to:(i) improve the physical and operational performance of selected tank systems (which includes feeder channels above the tank reservoir, the tank complex, and the irrigation channels in the command area) through a range of interventions identified and executed in partnership with tank WUAS, (ii) secure the safety of the tank structure, and (iii) improve on-farm water management and water use efficiency.

Participatory Ground water Management: The objective of this sub-component is to enable groundwater users in those tank systems that are subject to groundwater stress, to improve the management of their groundwater resources, and thereby enhance their agricultural productivity and livelihoods.Agricultural Livelihood support services: The objective of this component is to


II-2

enhance tank-based livelihoods by increasing production, productivity and profitability of agriculture, horticulture, fisheries, livelihood and other significant productive activities.This would be achieved through improvements in production technologies and management practices, better input and output market linkages, more efficient and effective delivery of key support services, and augmentation of community level productive capacities as well as infrastructure.Project Management: The objective of this component is to ensure smooth implementation of project activities, monitoring of project implementation progress and outputs/outcomes achieved, and learning from project experience.

The scope of work under this project consists of Tank Systems Improvements in Unit-III which includes the Districts of Mahabub Nagar, Ranaga Reddy and NalgondaThe consultants will carry out Quality Control & Quality Assurance work for sample of these tanks.S.No. District

In view of the wide spread out of works and in order that the progress of earth fill placement does not suffer want of conducting the density tests to the required speed with conventional ‘core cutter’ or ‘sand replacement method’. The consultant should provide ‘Density Testers’ to enabled rapid on site determination of compaction parameters (moisture content ,wet density ,dry density ,and degree of compaction in terms of proctor density).such a state-of-the art devices shall be of immense practical utility in expediting the process of quality control testing relating to earth work and CNS compaction.

Proctor tests need to be carried out in a laboratory by using core cutter and replacement operations .Typically compaction is controlled by measuring the dry density and the water content of the compacted soil and checking that target values have been achieved .The direct dry density is typically measured by Rapid Moisture Metre.
