1- Strict implementation of water management policy. The canal project envisages protective irrigation in Stage – I and extensive irrigation of crops and pasture development in Stage – II. 

2- In general, the cropping pattern shall not include water intensive crops. It shall be adhered to and people shall be encouraged to grow plantation crops such as citrus fruits. 

3. The CAD programme such as lining of water courses, land development and levelling and warabandi system (equal distribution of canal water) shall be effectively implemented to reduce the conveyance loss of water. 

4. The area affected by water logging and soil salinity shall be reclaimed. 

5. The eco development through afforestation, shelterbelt plantation and pasture development is necessary particularly in the fragile environment of Stage II. 

6- The social sustainability in the region can be achieved only if the land allottees having poor economic background are provided adequate financial and institutional support for cultivation of land. 

7- The economic sustainability in the region cannot be attained only through development of agriculture and animal husbandry. The agricultural and allied activities have to develop along with other sectors of economy. This shall lead to diversification of economic base and establishment of functional linkages between basic villages, agro-service centres and market centres.
