The most difficult aspect of sharing water with the National Park is that we can't disturb the natural environment, especially moving big rocks and boulder to build a temporary dam, therefore we have to repair the temporary diversion dam many times a year. This puts both the financial burden, because we have to pay 1800 rupees per acre, and the human capital burden as we have to contribute labor as a part of using the water. However, the national park allows us to hire a bulldozer and move the earth to make the dam but it is too weak to hold during monsoon. We make several trips to during the monsoon season to ensure that the water flows in the irrigation canals. The national park does not compensate us for loss of crop due to wild animals that belong the the national park or the water shortage during from the canals during the rice season, in particular.
