Panchayati Raj & DW Department, Government of Odisha.

A. Rationale of Trench cum Bund:

In Odisha, mostly in the hilly & and high land districts, almost 70% of the lands are without any bund.
In most of the community and the Government lands including the Barrens, Bagayats, Pasture land, Gramya
jungles, due to absence of bunds, soil erosion is very much prominent. Trench cum bund (TCB) will be an
efficient way to arrest both soil erosion and harvest rain water. Moreover, these TCBs being a labor-
intensive work, can be implemented almost throughout the year including the rainy season.

B. Objective behind taking TCBs:

 These structures are easy to implement,

with minimal technical support.
 Can be taken in both individual (As per
Schedule-I, Para-5 of the Act) and
community or Government lands in a
cluster manner.
 High labor-intensive works (more than
80% Labor component).
 Scope to enhance productivity lands by
20-30%, by conservation of soil &
moisture.
 Nevertheless, in the context of large influx of return migrant labors, the TCB work can create
large employment opportunity even during rainy season.

C. Project Description:
a. Salient Features:

 TCB can be constructed in variety of individual, community and Government land up to

8% slope having permeable soil profile.
 1 Ha. of TCBs can generate 302 unskilled person days.
 Can be excavated in all Barren lands, Bagayats, Pastures, Gramya jungles in massive
scale.
 Potential to conserve at least 5Lakhs liters of rain water for a single rainfall.

* Note: If there are impermeable soils (black, clayey, continuous stones), where water
doesn’t percolate easily, a provision of a safe drainage of excess water, need to be kept with
the TCB.

Page No: 1
b. Time of Construction:
 In the barren lands with normal soil (sandy, sandy loam), these works can be taken
throughout the year.
 In medium or hard soil, the work can be started in rainy season, when soil becomes
soft enough to be excavated.
 If the plots are covered by the kharif crops, the work can be started in October or just
after the harvesting of the crop.
 To be planned in a manner, to provide works in Rainy seasons.

c. Design Considerations:
In a given slope (S in %) of a land, it is important to decide maximum distance
between two consecutive TCBs across the slope, known as the Horizontal-Interval (H.I).
In order to calculate the (H.I), the vertical interval (V.I) between two consecutive bunds
is calculated. Lastly, the specification of the bund, also calculated as given below: -

i. Vertical Interval (VI): The V.I (In m.) between two successive bunds is calculated by
applying the following formula.
𝑽𝑰 = 𝟎. 𝟑𝟎𝟓 ∗ (𝑿𝑺 + 𝒀)
Where,
X = Rainfall factor = 0.6 for 625-875 mm rainfall; S = Slope of the land in
percentage;
= 0.8 for < 625 mm rainfall 𝑺 𝑽𝑰
= 0.4 for > 875 mm rainfall =
𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝑯𝑰

Y = Soil infiltration and vegetative cover factor = 2 for significant vegetative cover
= 1.5 for average vegetative cover
= 1 for poor vegetative cover

ii. Horizontal Interval (HI): The H.I. (In m.), across the slope between two successive
bunds can be found from the below formula:

𝟏𝟎𝟎 ∗ 𝑽𝑰
𝑯𝑰 =
𝑺𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒆(%)

iii. Design of Bund:

a. Top Width (w): generally taken as 0.3m.
b. Bund height (h): + 25% settlement allowance (In m.)
c. Base width (b): 2h+w (in m.)

Page No: 2
 d. Shape: Constructed in trapezoidal shape with 1:1 side slope.

 A suggestive Interval between two consecutive TCBs, with bund specifications

are given for various slope of the land, in the table below:

Maximum Interval between two Minimum Bund

Land Type
consecutive Bunds (HI) Height (h)
Almost Plain (Up to 3% Slope) 30m./ 100feet 0.5m./ 1.7 ft
Medium Slope (Up to 3-5% Slope) 23m./ 75feet 0.6m./ 2 ft
High Slope (5-8% slope) 20m./ 66feet 0.8m./ 2.6 ft
** With lower slope the horizontal interval (H.I) can be increased with lesser bund height.

D. Process of Construction:
The process of construction in 1 Ha land/Patch (assumed Length: 100m. X Breadth: 100m.)
having medium slope (~4%) is given below for reference:
1. Begin with the longest section in the patch. Draw a straight line with lime powder from the
top of the slope to the bottom of the slope. (Ref: Fig-I)
2. On this straight line, mark points at 25m. intervals. From these points extend lines at 90
degree towards opposite directions across the slope, till end of the patch. Let’s call this line
as Trench line. (Ref: Fig-I)
3. From this trench line, draw another line above 1m across the slope. Between these two
lines, the trenches will be excavated. The specification of the suggested trench is given
below: (Ref: Fig-II)
a. Width of the trench: 1 m.
b. Depth of the trench: 0.6 m.
c. Length of one trench: depending upon the size of the plot (between 3m.- 6m.)
d. Between two successive trenches, keep gap of 0.3m.

4. Berm: Draw another line at 0.3M. below the trench line. The excavated soil needs to be
kept beyond this line called (berm) to construct the bund.
** Proper guidance & monitoring required to ensure Berm & dressing of bunds.
5. After the excavation, dressing & compaction of bund as per the shape and bund
specification given in Fig- III.
6. If any stones are excavated, they can be kept between two consecutive trenches at an
angle of 90 degree to the main bund, to give stability.
7. Depending on the specific conditions (existing bund, any drainage line etc.) the trench lines
may be adjusted accordingly.

Fig-II: Trench Specification Fig-III: Bund Specification

8. In land, where there is existing bunds, the TCB can be taken by adjusting the Horizontal
Interval (HI) to align with the existing bund. If the distance between two existing bunds are
more than HI, then an intermediate trench line needs to be decided after consultation with
the farmer/owner of the land.

 CONTOUR
TRENCHING

FIELD MANUAL
FOR
IMPLEMENTATION
UNDER MGNREGS
 Contour Trenching Under MGNREGS

RATIONALE OF CONTOUR TRENCHING:

Trenches are constructed in the higher elevated area of a landscape, which is
being essentially referred to as hillock area in this document to check the flow of
runoff water due to rain, carrying with it eroded soil into the "valley" (Lower
elevated or plain area of a landscape in a village). This eroded materials like soil and
smaller stone particles, gets deposited as silt in the reservoirs and ponds, thereby
reducing their life. So, the contour trench is being designed to overcome this issue in
long run. It is designed to collect the rainwater falls on the higher elevated area of a
village, which ensures improvement of local moisture profile of the soil adjacent to
any trench. It also serves the purpose of re-depositing the eroded top fertile soil of
the area. So, this structure can be best used while doing plantation in the same
field.

OBJECTIVE:
 Reduce the runoff velocity of rainwater;
 Checking the soil erosion due to this runoff water;
 Improving the in-situ soil moisture component of the area by enhancing the
percolation of water;
 Diversify the land use to reduce vulnerabilities;

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
 SALIENT FEATURES
 Contour-trenches are normally constructed in the upper portion/ ridge area of
the landscape for plantation of forestry/horticultural plants;
 It is most appropriate to construct contour trenches, when the slope of the
area is between 8% to 25%;
 Fodder grass should be planted on the bund and horticultural/fuel fodder
trees may be planted just downstream of the trench or in the trench itself in
gravel soils;
 Contour trenches can be constructed in rainy season as well as in winter;

 TYPES
 Continuous contour trenches (CCT): It can be constructed in low rainfall area
for moisture conservation;
 Staggered Contour trenches (SCT): To avoid potential danger of overflow and
breach in high rain fall area, SCT should be constructed with defined distance
between them. It is also most suitable for steep or irregular sloping land.
(Please refer to Annexure -I for the basic diagram of both the types of
trenches);

While finding the contour line over a long distance, there is a high
chance of error. To minimize that error, staggered contour trench
should be preferred for implementation under MGNREGS in the state.
 Contour Trenching Under MGNREGS

 DESIGN ASPECT
While creating the structures three vital points needs to be taken into consideration:
 Quantum of rainfall- Greater the rainfall, lesser the distance between two
trenches;
 Permeability of the soil- The more the permeability, the more should be the
distance (Where Permeability means capability of the soil to absorb water);
 Slope of land – The greater the slope, the lesser the distance;

The most accepted dimension and layout of the trench, while creating a
staggered trenching system though is:

Length – 6 ft, Width – 2 ft (Where top and bottom width are almost same), Depth –
1 ft

So, the total excavation from one trench will be = (6x2x1) cft = 12 cft. (Refer to Fig-
1)

 Measure the slope in one section of the ridge area. Ensure that it is
between 8 - 25%;
 Draw a straight line with wet lime between the highest and the lowest
points along the slope;
 Decide the interval between successive lines of trenches (Suggestion is
to keep 6 ft distance in between);
 On the straight line, marks points at the decided interval;
 Starting from each mark, demarcate the contour line (By joining the
points at same elevation on each line);
 Dig staggered trenches along these contour lines;
 Locate the trenches directly below one another alternatively;
 Place the excavated soil from trench behind the trench in the form of a
bund. The point to remember is construct the bund downstream of the
trench and 20 cm away from the trench, to avoid a situation, where the
trench should not be refilled by the excavated soil once again. The area
between the trench and the bund is called the berm;
 Also construct the bund in such a way that, the excavated soil should be
piled up in a 10 cm rectangular layer;
 Grass can be planted on the bund and plant can be planted near to the
trench;
 Contour Trenching Under MGNREGS

Fig-1 Staggered trench with bund (Not to scale)

 EXPECTED OUTCOME
The trench and the bund together act as an obstruction to the runoff and check soil
erosion. It also helps in enhancement of soil moisture and that in turns ensures
enhancement in vegetative /biomass production in the unproductive land. It also
helps in water conservation at lower part of land and longevity of the structures
created down the slope of the landscape. (Snaps of the structures at different time of
construction is given in Annexure-II.)

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:
 IMPLEMENTING A GENCY
Gram Panchayat will be the implementing agency for construction of staggered
contour trenches in the selected and approved area with identified beneficiaries.

 COVERAGE
It will be implemented under MGNREGS across all the districts with 50 acres will
be taken in each GP in 26 districts other than the 4 migration prone districts. In
the 4 migration prone districts, this will be taken up in 50 acres in each village.

 SELECTION CRITERIA
 Any land that is demarcated as community land and present in the hillock area,
should be considered primarily for this activity to satisfy the cluster approach of
activity implementation as per PR-NREG-SCHEME-0009-2020/7725 dtd.22-04-
2020;
 This can be also taken up on the individual land of eligible beneficiaries
mentioned under para-5 of the schedule-1 of the act, but with a focus on
cluster approach;

Focus should be given to upland and also the land settled under FRA
for implementing this activity and accordingly area/beneficiary
should be selected.
 Contour Trenching Under MGNREGS

 TRAINING AND C APACITY BUILDING

POINTS TO REMEMBER:

 Do not make trenches on slopes higher than 25%. Instead adopt vegetative
measures;
 Do not make trenches on slopes less than 8%. Instead construct contour
bunds;
 Do not excavate trenches where there is already dense vegetation;
 Do not plant inside the trench;
 Do not excavate if roots of a tree are encountered;
 Do not excavate trenches across large streams or drainage lines;

It should be kept in mind that, construction of staggered trench should start from
the ridge line and all the structures should be perpendicular to the flow of water(A
ridge line is a line, from where water flows to two opposite direction, essentially if
we join the highest elevated point on a land of village, that should give us the ridge
line of a village). If for some reason, the construction cannot be started from the
ridgeline, then a diversion channel has to be constructed to avoid the runoff water
from the higher part of land and dispose the same safely, without damaging the
staggered trenches excavated below.

FIELD MANUAL
FOR
IMPLEMENTATION
UNDER MGNREGS

RATIONALE OF STOP DAM:

 Stop Dam Under MGNREGS

RATIONALE OF STOP DAM:

Huge quantity of water flow away in the streams during monsoon. It wouldn’t
be possible to store all the water with small interventions during monsoon. After
monsoon period/by the fag end of the monsoon the flow of water continues in small
quantity, which can be stored within the stream bed with small and low-cost
intervention. Construction of Stop Dam is one such method. The Stop Dam can be
constructed in series in a stream to conserve water.

OBJECTIVE:
 This will contribute to conservation of water in the seasonal streams;
 This can also contribute to the local area economy by making available the
stored water to farmers;

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
 SALIENT FEATURES

The Stop Dam shall be constructed in streams where the flow of water is
available after the monsoon i.e. during October and November. The projects
can be taken up in the stream where the bed slope is up to 5 %. Cultivated
land shall be available nearby so as to utilize the water for irrigation purpose
in Rabi crop.

 TYPES

Stop dam can be constructed using Sand / Sandy Soil / Sand mix with Gravel.

 DESIGN A SPECT

 A trench to perform as foundation will be excavated up to a depth of 0.30 M.

and width of 1.20 M;
 The Sand / Sandy Soil / Sand mix with Gravel in empty cement bags (HDPE)
will be placed in 2 rows across the stream with a gap of 0.30 M. which will
be field of with hard soil;
 The maximum height of the stop dam will be 1 M. above Ground Level;
 A depression/cut of 1 M wide and 0.15 M deep will be provided by suitably
arranging the bags so that the overflow water will pass to downstream. In
the downstream of the depression/cut portion Sand / Sandy Soil / Sand mix
with Gravel bags at ground level will be provided to act as apron to prevent
the scouring of the stream bed;
 Stop Dam Under MGNREGS

 Series of stop dams shall be constructed in the stream as per the suitability
at an interval of 50-80 M, this may differ from site to site as per the site
condition;
 All the Stop Dams to be constructed in one stream will be treated as one
project. In case the stream flows across more than one GP, the Stop Dams
constructed within one GP will be treated as one project and within another
GP boundary will be treated as another project;
 The life span of the stop dam will be considered from the completion date
up to the onset of monsoon in the next year i.e. from October/November to
June/ July in the next calendar year;
 In case of any damage due to flash flood/unexpected rain fall during the
above period necessary repair to the stop dam will be done;
 The community shall be requested to remove/dismantle the stop dam in the
stream in the month of June/July for smooth flow of flood water;

 EXPECTED OUTCOME

 The stop dams will create a series of water storage facilities which will
provide irrigation to Rabi crop on both sides of the stream.
 The ground water will be recharged as a result the efficiency of dug wells
and bore well will improve.
 The soil moisture content will increase.
 The socio-economic conditions of the land holders will improve.
 This will also provide Drinking water to the livestock.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:
 IMPLEMENTING A GENCY

The GP will be the Implementing Agency.

 COVERAGE

Initially it will be implemented in the 20 migration prone Blocks of four Districts

namely Balangir, Bargarh, Kalahandi & Nuapada in saturation mode. After that it
will be taken up in the remaining part of the State.
 Stop Dam Under MGNREGS

 SELECTION CRITERIA

 The suitable streams will be identified through the GIS tool.

 While identifying the location of stop dam sites through GIS tool, the
lineament feature profile will be taken into consideration.
 After the preparation of the preliminary report with the help of GIS tool, the
ground truthing will be done and suitable site will be finalize on the stream.

 TRAINING AND C APACITY BUILDING

UNDER MGNREGS
 Loose Boulder Chcek Dam (LBCD) Under MGNREGS

RATIONALE OF LBCD:
Large amount of water flow away in the streams during monsoon. It wouldn’t be
possible to store all the water with small interventions during monsoon. The velocity
of water can be reduced by constructing Loose Boulder Check Dam (LBCD) which
will help in percolation of water into the ground. These can be constructed in series
in a stream to conserve water.

OBJECTIVE:

 This will contribute to conservation of soil and water;

 This will increase the time of stagnation of runoff and thereby allowing more
time to water to be absorbed in soil;

 This will enhance the Ground water table;

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
 SALIENT FEATURES

 The Loose Boulders Check Dam (LBCD) is constructed in the streams where
loose stones are plentiful.
 The projects can be taken up in the stream where the bed slope is up to 20%.
 In the initial year of construction, the holes in the LBCD will get silted by the
debris, in subsequent years water will be stored in the drainage line, thus will
create a series of water storage facilities for providing irrigation to Rabi crop
on both sides of the stream.

 TYPES

 Loose Boulders Check Dam (LBCD) is constructed using locally available

stones.

 The foundation of the Loose Boulders Check Dam (LBCD) should be dug out
for a depth of 0.3m to 0.5m;
 The maximum height for loose boulder checks shall be 1m. The maximum
height of 1m means that the top of the check in the middle of the stream is
1m above ground level;
 The top width of the boulder check is usually as 0.5m;
 Loose Boulder Chcek Dam (LBCD) Under MGNREGS

 The upstream slope of the check should be 1:1 to 1:1.5. The downstream
slope of the boulder check can vary from 1:2 to 1:4 depending on the volume
and velocity of runoff;
 The head wall on either side of the check and must be extended equal to the
maximum height of the LBCD. Care must be taken for proper maintenance of
downstream and upstream slopes;
 Locate the check only where the height of the stream embankment is greater
than or equal to the sum of the peak depth of flow in the drainage line and
design height of the structure;
 Larger boulders should be placed on the outer portion of the check;
 The use of angular boulders should be preferred;
 The check dams should be constructed where boulders are adequately
available nearby;

 EXPECTED OUTCOME

 Reduction in soil erosion.

 Trapping silt, which reduces the rate or siltation in water harvesting
structures in the lower reaches of the watershed.
 Increasing recharge of groundwater and
 Increasing the duration of flow in the drainage line. Therefore, the capacity of
the water harvesting structures created downstream on the drainage line is
utilized fully as they get many more refills.
 The ground water will be recharged as a result the efficiency of dug wells
and bore well will improve.
 In the initial year of construction, the holes in the LBCD will get silted by the
debris, in subsequent years water will be stored in the drainage line, thus will
create a series of water storage facilities for providing irrigation to Rabi crop
on both sides of the stream
 The soil moisture content will increase.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:
 IMPLEMENTING AGENCY

The GP will be the Implementing Agency.

 COVERAGE

• It will be implemented in all the 30 Districts of the State.

 Fodder Cultivation Under MGNREGS

RATIONALE OF FODDER CULTIVATION:

Odisha has shortage of green fodder, which needs to be focused seriously. Due to
lack of enough green fodder, farmers in rural areas mostly depend on paddy straw
and concentrate feed to feed their animals, which results in less profit in dairy
farming as well as malnutrition among the livestock. It has been decided to take up
fodder cultivation both at individual/ community level for the year 2020-21 under
MGNREGS through the active participation of Directorate of Animal Husbandry and
Veterinary Services.

OBJECTIVE:

 To make availability of green fodder to the livestock throughout the year;

 To reduce the cost of milk production;
 To increase the profit in dairy farming;
 To provide sustainable livelihood to the vulnerable sections of the society;

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
 SALIENT FEATURES

 The project can be taken up at individual household level as well as at

community level during rainy season;
 The project can be taken up in both irrigated and rainfed conditions. For
rainfed conditions, farmers may be encouraged to apply for dug well
under MGNREGS;
 In case of community level, the fodder cultivation can be taken up in
waste land, fallow land, gochar, bagayat, panchayat land etc.
 The project will initiate during the onset of the monsoon (June) and will
continue round the year. All the plantation work must be completed
within first week of August;
 The indent for supply of rooted slips / stem cuttings/ seeds may be
raised by the block office and same may be submitted to the BVO;
 The BVOs are to be requested for supply of rooted slips / stem cuttings/
seeds on payment basis.
 Fodder Cultivation Under MGNREGS

 TYPES
Different types of fodder can be cultivated based on the soil type, land type,
availability of water, availability of planting materials/ seeds, season etc. The list
of different fodder types is presented in the table below:

CEREAL FODDER LEGUME FODDER GRASS FODDER TREE FODDER

Maize Cowpea Hybrid Napier Grass Subabool

Sorghum Stylo Guinea grass Glyricidia

 Implementing agency / farmers may choose seasonal, annual and perennial

fodder types based on their suitability.
 The tree fodder cultivation may be taken up in pastureland, waste land or in
community land whereas, annual cereal fodders, legume fodders and grass
fodders can be taken up at individual level.
 The single cut fodders are maize, bajra, sorghum and cowpea.
 In rainfed conditions, tree fodders and grass fodders may be taken up. An
example of the detailed estimation for fodder cultivation (Napier grass) are
presented in Annexure-I, II, III, which may be referred while preparing the
project proposal.

ANNEXURE-IV

PACKAGE OF PRACTICES

It is proposed to take up perennial Hybrid Napier grass cultivation in the proposed

Districts.

Land types: This crop can be grown in any type and soil other than purely sandy,
high acidic, water logging and problematic soil. It performs in well drained or upland
areas under irrigated conditions. Once planted, can be maintained for a period of 4
to 5 years. The plant can be propagated through either root slips or stem cuttings.

Variety: There are different

varieties of Hybrid Napier such
as NB-21, NB-88, Yasobanti,
IGFRI-3, IGFRI-7, IGFRI-10,
IGFRI-21, CO-1, CO-2, CO-3, CO-
4, CO-5, Sampoorna etc.

Season: The appropriate season

for growing the crop is Kharif
season but can be grown round
the year in the land area having irrigation facility.
Ideal Month of planting: June to July for Kharif (Rainfed) and for irrigation
condition any month other than severe winter (i.e. 15th. November to 31st. January).

Land preparation:
Minimum three round of
ploughing should be done but
based on soil condition, more
numbers may be required. All
preparatory ploughing must be
completed in 10 to 15 days
before planting. Manual
removal of stubbles/ weeds is
must for better cleaning even
 Fodder Cultivation Under MGNREGS

though rotavator is used. Though it is perennial crop, making of ridge is required for
better irrigation and management. Stem cuttings should be planted in bunds.

Intercultural operations:
Intercultural operations should be done between rows after 30 days of planting stem
cuttings and one round of intercultural is required after each cut of green fodder
grass for better growth.

Stem cutting/ root, slips planting:

Per acre: 10,000 nos. of root/ slip or stem cutting.
Spacing: Line to line 60 cm and plant to plant 50 cm.

Manure Application: 2 to 4 tons of FYM Per acre of land. Manure should be

mixed with soil in the last ploughing just before planting. Organic fertilizer/
vermicompost should be used just after 15 days after planting of root/ slips and 2 nd
application after 35 days of planting and subsequent application after each cut of
green fodder.

Irrigation: For better growth of plant light irrigation should be done immediately
after planting. Subsequent irrigation should be done 07 to 10 days interval.

Green fodder yield:

First harvest is 70 to 80 days after planting and thereafter, the ratoon crop may be
harvested 50 to 55 days interval.
- Plant should be cut above 10-15 cm. of soil for better growth.
- A farmer can harvest green fodder 05 to 06 (Five to Six) times in a year and
will get at least 200 to 250 quintals of green fodder per year.

Method of feeding to animals:

Greens should be chaffed by chaff cutter machine before feeding to animals to avoid
wastage of greens and to get more milk from milching cow.
