Maintenance indicators are used to evaluate performance of canal by using Relative Change of Water Level (RCWL), Dependability of Duration (DOD) and Effectiveness of Infrastructure (EOI). RCWL is observed in 10 Percent Right Main Canal showing that water level is decreased in the canal from the designed level. Intended duration of water delivery as per decided in the meeting of water distribution committee was 110 days for West Banas Canal System. In II^nd, III^rd and IV^th irrigation ratio obtained between actual and intended duration is 1.07, 1.10 and 1 respectively which shows good DOD attained during II, III and IV irrigation. But in I^st irrigation dependability of duration was 0.88. Effectiveness of infrastructure (EOI) was calculated as 90 per cent indicating almost 10 per cent of structures are either damaged or do not exist.
