“…The project has to store a capacity of 129,600 liters of water with just Rs 48,060 [9]. Pauline et al [10] primarily focused on the adoption of water harvesting structures by farmers in dryland areas of Tamil Nadu. A thorough study was conducted and designed by combining a descriptive survey of the study area and a population analysis approach of a participatory study.…”

In Gosaba, a village on the outskirts of South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India, people experience a lot of problems related to shortage of potable water due to salinity and arsenic contamination in the supplied water. Rapid growth of industrialization, increased population, saline water intrusion etc. is causing a decrease in fresh water. Due to overuse of groundwater, GWT is declining rapidly in the Gosaba region. Moreover, seawater is intruding into the groundwater, causing pollution of surface water and a rise in Fe content, Cl content, arsenic content and salinity content in groundwater of that location. The runoff available from that amount of received precipitation is estimated using two empirical equations derived by Sir Aiexander Binnie; Ingels-De Souza and T.G. Barlow and the calculation confirms a good amount of runoff that can be utilized for harvesting in order to decrease the water scarcity of the location. The scarcity of fresh water in the Gosaba location can be minimized by adopting the rainwater harvesting (RWH) method, a sustainable process to obtain disinfected water at a very low cost. The technical part of the present study is to adopt RWH where rainwater is collected from rooftop of an institute building and to design tank where water can be stored and utilized further at minimum costs.

“…Different water conservation methods/structures found in the dry areas of Tamil Nadu are farm ponds, tank irrigation systems; compartmental bunding and recharge pit, etc. have been described [10]. Chakraborty et al [11] have simulated the GWT in various locations of Purba Medinipur with the help of Visual MODFLOW.…”

“…,Pauline et al (2020),Velasco-Muñoz et al (2019), andQi et al (2019) that channel reservoirs as well as other rainwater harvesting technologies like small reservoirs have the irrigation potential.Usually, in the research area, upland rice cultivation is only carried out once in the rainy season. The recent study was carried out at the end of the dry season (early August) and continues to the rainy season (until early December).…”

The development of dry land requires precise planning due to its climate-sensitive nature. It is essential to ensure water availability to meet crop water requirements. Rainwater harvesting remains underutilized in upland rice cultivation. The field experiment was conducted in Tulungagung Regency, East Java province, Indonesia from August to December 2017. The research aimed to develop water harvesting technology and irrigation management for upland rice. The nested design was the experimental design with irrigation levels and varieties of upland rice treatments. Four irrigation levels were farmer's customs, 70%, 85%, and 100% of the crop water requirement, while the varieties were Situ Patenggang, Inpago-9, and Inpago-11. Our findings revealed that 70% of the crop water requirement was sufficient for upland rice cultivation in dryland. Crop yields were unaffected by the irrigation level. Differences among upland rice varieties were only significant on plant height character. There was an increased cropping index due to additional water sources in the last months of the dry season until the early rainy season. Rainwater harvesting can be adapted to climate change, especially in areas that often experience water shortages. Keywords: dry land, channel reservoir, irrigation level, crop water requirement
