In the field of Agriculture produce and development Irrigation have essential demand and utilities which includes,ponds, wells, tubewells ,rivers ,drains and the channels.The design, scope and construction of the above mentioned structures depends upon the geographical location and conditions for which the contour survey of land to be irrigated must be planned with the lay out In plain areas it is easy to plan the irrigation system of land reclamation however it is difficult in the hills and too costlier to facilitate the demand under public utilities.As for as the areas of district Bilaspur are concerned the facilities available are maximum in the sadar Bilaspur which may be verified up to 15percent of the total cultivated land in the area and the Ghumarwin and Naina Devi Ji area are covered up to ten percent of the cultivated land where as the Jhandutta constituency has not more than two percent of the irrigated land  even though the area of this constituency is coverd by the Govind Sagar lake more than fifty percent of the sorroundings however no arrangements could be made by the study of impact assessment realised by the survey works related to the various irrigation projects .The govt has started various projects and schemes for the storage of rain water for irrigation under Mahatma Gandhi  Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme but a very less beneficiaries have obtained this sanction in favor of their plan and objective even in hilly areas the rational method may be used
