The document discusses different approaches to water resource development and irrigation in central Indian states, with a focus on diversion-based irrigation management (DBIM). It describes DBIM as a system that diverts water from natural sources like springs or streams, with or without intermediate storage, to irrigate crops. The goals are to establish DBIM as a tool for food security and help poor farmers double their incomes through a second crop. It proposes piloting location-specific ideas, documenting available DBIM technologies, and building capacity to promote standardized DBIM schemes.
