Warabandi system

After seven days, which finishes a period of delivery, the next conveyance starts, to ensure the farmers can get enough water resources to use.

The most common is called Kachcha Warabandi, which is a system with government intervention, where the farmers make the decisions and plan the schedule by themselves.

Without government intervention, the decisions are not affected by any outside parties, and the group can focus on who needs water at that time and plan out the entire schedule, which is more comfortable and more flexible.

Another system is Pucca Warabandi, a government program with a field investigation and public inquiry if any situation occurs.

Some people still adopt it because, if any situation occurs, disputes are registered with the canal authorities, and the government will deal with the problem.

This method is commonly used by large landowners to ensure the owner's benefit; if any problem occurs, the government can help them solve it.

After the prescribed adjudication processes, the system changes to official schedules as a result and become easier to manage as a large landowner.

At the same time, the proper riverine fields keep getting the requisite aquifer recharge, and the riparian ecology and biodiversity have been recovering since they have received enough water.

The availability of water in riparian zones helps the plantation of trees near the river, which is sustainable for the environment.

Due to the severe local corruption problem, relevant departments and the government do not have enough capital to carry out maintenance, and those impoverished countries have difficulty maintaining the system's follow-up development.

Although the government got enough capital to build up the system, due to the corruption problem, the project cannot finish and maintain its full functionality.

When the system deteriorates, water delivery becomes less efficient, making it challenging to ensure equitable distribution for all farmers.

Especially in deprived areas, where there is not enough awareness of birth control, the proportion of the population is rising much faster than in developed countries.

To ensure the delivery procedure can run smoothly, the main canals separate as upstream or downstream control or a combination of the two methods.

The system as the main watercourse operates at no less than 75 percent of the full supply level to ensure every farmer can get the same proportion of the water.
