Abstract This paper deals with a new method of River Basin Planning to derive the benefit of irrigation to the maximum extent of Commendable-Cultivable Area (C.C.A) available in a river basin by suitable placement of appropriate irrigation projects at various points on a river in order to minimize the wastage of river water running into the sea, as is the case with the existing irrigation systems obtaining in moist of our rivers. This is due to lack of correct planning for optimization of river water resources for irrigation. A new method is described in this paper to plan for the location of several project sites to make the best water and land resources particularly long water resources. The method brings into light a new principle called the Ayacut Balancing Principle (ABP) around a point called the Balancing Point (B.P).
