&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;The Tamil Nadu model of providing primacy to the views of farmers in the management of irrigation tanks has been lauded by an official of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), who is heading a team to review tank projects in India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Conventionally, the tank management has been governed by the water engineering-centric approach. But, in Tamil Nadu, &amp;quot;the focus is on farmers, their needs. And, that&#039;s the way it should move,&amp;quot; says Jim Hancock, Natural Resources and Livelihoods Officer at the Investment Centre, Asia Pacific Service of the FAO.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
After observing the execution of the World Bank-funded Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation and Water-Bodies Restoration and Management Project (IAMWARM) in Kancheepuram and Villupuram districts last week, Mr. Hancock told The Hindu that another feature that impressed him and his team was the way the existing institutions were working together, from the State down to the village, to address water issues.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In this context, he referred to the creation of single window information and knowledge centres at the community level, which were functioning as platforms for officials and farmers to discuss issues and find solutions. He called the facility a &amp;quot;very interesting innovation.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As for the role of tanks in the southern States of the country, he said: &amp;quot;The cultural, rural, dry southern India is centred on tanks.&amp;quot; Pointing out that tanks had a wider purpose, he said they served not only the requirements of agriculture but also those of drinking water, sanitation, livestock, horticulture and fisheries. This was why they were important to the development of the States.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Asked to list the areas of improvements in tank management, Mr. Hancock said sustainability of water management, operation and maintenance of tanks was a matter of concern to many States of the country.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As for tanks, there were several questions that needed answers. &amp;quot;What is the water balance? Where is water going? Who needs water? Eventually, you have to ask yourselves: should we have to allocate water for the urban sector and to the poorer and better-off users? To what degree, the community together with the government should fund the maintenance of a tank system?&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
He said one had to get the facts first before taking any decision on the approach to be adopted to the management, operation and maintenance of tanks.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;The Tamil Nadu model of providing primacy to the views of farmers in the management of irrigation tanks has been lauded by an official of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), who is heading a team to review tank projects in India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Conventionally, the tank management has been governed by the water engineering-centric approach. But, in Tamil Nadu, &amp;quot;the focus is on farmers, their needs. And, that&#039;s the way it should move,&amp;quot; says Jim Hancock, Natural Resources and Livelihoods Officer at the Investment Centre, Asia Pacific Service of the FAO.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
After observing the execution of the World Bank-funded Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation and Water-Bodies Restoration and Management Project (IAMWARM) in Kancheepuram and Villupuram districts last week, Mr. Hancock told The Hindu that another feature that impressed him and his team was the way the existing institutions were working together, from the State down to the village, to address water issues.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In this context, he referred to the creation of single window information and knowledge centres at the community level, which were functioning as platforms for officials and farmers to discuss issues and find solutions. He called the facility a &amp;quot;very interesting innovation.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As for the role of tanks in the southern States of the country, he said: &amp;quot;The cultural, rural, dry southern India is centred on tanks.&amp;quot; Pointing out that tanks had a wider purpose, he said they served not only the requirements of agriculture but also those of drinking water, sanitation, livestock, horticulture and fisheries. This was why they were important to the development of the States.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Asked to list the areas of improvements in tank management, Mr. Hancock said sustainability of water management, operation and maintenance of tanks was a matter of concern to many States of the country.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As for tanks, there were several questions that needed answers. &amp;quot;What is the water balance? Where is water going? Who needs water? Eventually, you have to ask yourselves: should we have to allocate water for the urban sector and to the poorer and better-off users? To what degree, the community together with the government should fund the maintenance of a tank system?&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
He said one had to get the facts first before taking any decision on the approach to be adopted to the management, operation and maintenance of tanks.

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Hindu&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;The Tamil Nadu model of providing primacy to the views of farmers in the management of irrigation tanks has been lauded by an official of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), who is heading a team to review tank projects in India.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Conventionally, the tank management has been governed by the water engineering-centric approach. But, in Tamil Nadu, &amp;quot;the focus is on farmers, their needs. And, that&#039;s the way it should move,&amp;quot; says Jim Hancock, Natural Resources and Livelihoods Officer at the Investment Centre, Asia Pacific Service of the FAO.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;After observing the execution of the World Bank-funded Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation and Water-Bodies Restoration and Management Project (IAMWARM) in Kancheepuram and Villupuram districts last week, Mr. Hancock told The Hindu that another feature that impressed him and his team was the way the existing institutions were working together, from the State down to the village, to address water issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;In this context, he referred to the creation of single window information and knowledge centres at the community level, which were functioning as platforms for officials and farmers to discuss issues and find solutions. He called the facility a &amp;quot;very interesting innovation.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;As for the role of tanks in the southern States of the country, he said: &amp;quot;The cultural, rural, dry southern India is centred on tanks.&amp;quot; Pointing out that tanks had a wider purpose, he said they served not only the requirements of agriculture but also those of drinking water, sanitation, livestock, horticulture and fisheries. This was why they were important to the development of the States.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Asked to list the areas of improvements in tank management, Mr. Hancock said sustainability of water management, operation and maintenance of tanks was a matter of concern to many States of the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;As for tanks, there were several questions that needed answers. &amp;quot;What is the water balance? Where is water going? Who needs water? Eventually, you have to ask yourselves: should we have to allocate water for the urban sector and to the poorer and better-off users? To what degree, the community together with the government should fund the maintenance of a tank system?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;He said one had to get the facts first before taking any decision on the approach to be adopted to the management, operation and maintenance of tanks. &lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;The Tamil Nadu model of providing primacy to the views of farmers in the management of irrigation tanks has been lauded by an official of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), who is heading a team to review tank projects in India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Conventionally, the tank management has been governed by the water engineering-centric approach. But, in Tamil Nadu, &amp;quot;the focus is on farmers, their needs. And, that&#039;s the way it should move,&amp;quot; says Jim Hancock, Natural Resources and Livelihoods Officer at the Investment Centre, Asia Pacific Service of the FAO.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
After observing the execution of the World Bank-funded Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation and Water-Bodies Restoration and Management Project (IAMWARM) in Kancheepuram and Villupuram districts last week, Mr. Hancock told The Hindu that another feature that impressed him and his team was the way the existing institutions were working together, from the State down to the village, to address water issues.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In this context, he referred to the creation of single window information and knowledge centres at the community level, which were functioning as platforms for officials and farmers to discuss issues and find solutions. He called the facility a &amp;quot;very interesting innovation.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As for the role of tanks in the southern States of the country, he said: &amp;quot;The cultural, rural, dry southern India is centred on tanks.&amp;quot; Pointing out that tanks had a wider purpose, he said they served not only the requirements of agriculture but also those of drinking water, sanitation, livestock, horticulture and fisheries. This was why they were important to the development of the States.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Asked to list the areas of improvements in tank management, Mr. Hancock said sustainability of water management, operation and maintenance of tanks was a matter of concern to many States of the country.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As for tanks, there were several questions that needed answers. &amp;quot;What is the water balance? Where is water going? Who needs water? Eventually, you have to ask yourselves: should we have to allocate water for the urban sector and to the poorer and better-off users? To what degree, the community together with the government should fund the maintenance of a tank system?&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
He said one had to get the facts first before taking any decision on the approach to be adopted to the management, operation and maintenance of tanks.

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;The Tamil Nadu model of providing primacy to the views of farmers in the management of irrigation tanks has been lauded by an official of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), who is heading a team to review tank projects in India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Conventionally, the tank management has been governed by the water engineering-centric approach. But, in Tamil Nadu, &amp;quot;the focus is on farmers, their needs. And, that&#039;s the way it should move,&amp;quot; says Jim Hancock, Natural Resources and Livelihoods Officer at the Investment Centre, Asia Pacific Service of the FAO.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
After observing the execution of the World Bank-funded Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation and Water-Bodies Restoration and Management Project (IAMWARM) in Kancheepuram and Villupuram districts last week, Mr. Hancock told The Hindu that another feature that impressed him and his team was the way the existing institutions were working together, from the State down to the village, to address water issues.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In this context, he referred to the creation of single window information and knowledge centres at the community level, which were functioning as platforms for officials and farmers to discuss issues and find solutions. He called the facility a &amp;quot;very interesting innovation.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As for the role of tanks in the southern States of the country, he said: &amp;quot;The cultural, rural, dry southern India is centred on tanks.&amp;quot; Pointing out that tanks had a wider purpose, he said they served not only the requirements of agriculture but also those of drinking water, sanitation, livestock, horticulture and fisheries. This was why they were important to the development of the States.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Asked to list the areas of improvements in tank management, Mr. Hancock said sustainability of water management, operation and maintenance of tanks was a matter of concern to many States of the country.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As for tanks, there were several questions that needed answers. &amp;quot;What is the water balance? Where is water going? Who needs water? Eventually, you have to ask yourselves: should we have to allocate water for the urban sector and to the poorer and better-off users? To what degree, the community together with the government should fund the maintenance of a tank system?&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
He said one had to get the facts first before taking any decision on the approach to be adopted to the management, operation and maintenance of tanks.

<em>Chennai: </em>The Tamil Nadu model of providing primacy to the views of farmers in the management of irrigation tanks has been lauded by an official of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), who is heading a team to review tank projects in India.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Conventionally, the tank management has been governed by the water engineering-centric approach. But, in Tamil Nadu, &quot;the focus is on farmers, their needs. And, that's the way it should move,&quot; says Jim Hancock, Natural Resources and Livelihoods Officer at the Investment Centre, Asia Pacific Service of the FAO.
</p>
<p align="justify">
After observing the execution of the World Bank-funded Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation and Water-Bodies Restoration and Management Project (IAMWARM) in Kancheepuram and Villupuram districts last week, Mr. Hancock told The Hindu that another feature that impressed him and his team was the way the existing institutions were working together, from the State down to the village, to address water issues.
</p>
<p align="justify">
In this context, he referred to the creation of single window information and knowledge centres at the community level, which were functioning as platforms for officials and farmers to discuss issues and find solutions. He called the facility a &quot;very interesting innovation.&quot;
</p>
<p align="justify">
As for the role of tanks in the southern States of the country, he said: &quot;The cultural, rural, dry southern India is centred on tanks.&quot; Pointing out that tanks had a wider purpose, he said they served not only the requirements of agriculture but also those of drinking water, sanitation, livestock, horticulture and fisheries. This was why they were important to the development of the States.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Asked to list the areas of improvements in tank management, Mr. Hancock said sustainability of water management, operation and maintenance of tanks was a matter of concern to many States of the country.
</p>
<p align="justify">
As for tanks, there were several questions that needed answers. &quot;What is the water balance? Where is water going? Who needs water? Eventually, you have to ask yourselves: should we have to allocate water for the urban sector and to the poorer and better-off users? To what degree, the community together with the government should fund the maintenance of a tank system?&quot;
</p>
<p align="justify">
He said one had to get the facts first before taking any decision on the approach to be adopted to the management, operation and maintenance of tanks.

FAO official lauds TN model of managing irrigation tanks -T Ramakrishnan
