The study was conducted with dug out farm pond at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, during 2010-11 to 2013-14. Reutilization study on protective irrigation to soybean was conducted during kharif 2013. On an average, runoff of 12.43% and harvesting potential of 11.10% of rainfall was observed from the catchment area of 1.60 ha during experimentation period. An average total storage loss of 1718.10 m 3 was observed during the period from July to December comprising an evaporation and seepage losses of 150.59 m 3 (8.67%) and 1567.51 m 3 (90.29%), respectively. One protective irrigation of 5 cm to soybean at maturity stage during prevailing critical dryspell, increased soybean grain yield by 30.87%. An average irrigation potential, on the basis of monthly storage volume of farm pond during 2010 and 2013, was observed as 0.87 ha.
