Maharashtra has old tradition of irrigation. The phad system still exists & has started 300-350 years back in Maharashtra which is a most economical method of management of irrigation water. The lion’s share in the evolution of canal irrigation system in Maharashtra goes to Sir Visvesvaraya. He carried out the study of phad irrigation system. By taking up the causative factors which lead to success of it, he put forth the concept of block system. For the first time in 1904 on Neera canals, we started practicing block system.
