Kakrapar weir is located on river Tapi near village Kakrapar of Mandvi taluka of Surat district. Its construction was completed in 1954 for the purpose of irrigation in Gujarat state. Irrigation through Kakrapar weir was divided into two main canals i.e. Kakrapar Right Bank Main Canal (K.R.B.M.C) and Kakrapar Left Bank Main Canal (K.L.B.M.C). Annual Irrigation in K.R.B.M.C is 162.16%.This is highest among all the canals in this region. Due to insufficient maintenance, problem of leakages, seepage which is persistent in command area results in wastage of water, water logging etc. Looking to the above situation there is no other option but to increase the carrying capacity of canal. The purpose of this study is to improve the conveyance efficiency of K.R.B.M.C. It also studies how Benefit derived and Cost incurred in the project can be worked out. Thus Benefit-Cost ratio is to be studied in addition to technical feasibility and economical viability. The impact of a project on economic welfare can be evaluated in terms of the relative values of associated benefits and costs.
