“…It is found from the study that after renovation of pond and regular supply of irrigated water level of cropping intensity of the experimental area were increase upto 228% from 132% (Table 8). This finding is in line with the study found by [8].…”

“…The farm pond impacts indicate not only increasing crop yields in both the rainy and the dry seasons, but also reduction of downstream sediment load [7]. Renovation of farm pond increased cropping intensity due to increasing rabi crops area followed by kharif crops area [8]. The improved crop management practices compared with change in cropping pattern have contributed for providing additional employment among farmers [9].…”

Terai region of West Bengal fall under high rainfall region but 90% rainfall occurs in kharif season and drought observed during rabi season. NICRA project started in the Cooch Behar District during 2011. The project area and plan of work were selected on the basis of participatory rural appraisal method. The experimental trial was conducted from 2011 to 2019. The objective of the experiment was to development of sustainable irrigation system through renovation of pond and its impact on crop production. It was found from the study that pond renovation has potential impact on increasing crop yield, cropping intensity, copping system and area of irrigation.

“…These findings align with Malathesh et al, (2009); Dhaka & Dhaka (2016). Low rainfall is the most severe, and inappropriate soil types, slope, and sedimentation are the least severe among agroecological constraints; similar findings were reported by Kumbhare et al, (2012Kumbhare et al, ( , 2014Kumbhare et al, ( & 2020; Ahmed et al, (2015); Chavai & Shinde (2017) among personal constraints, Inadequate family labour (88.75) is the most severe constraint, followed by a shortage of owned resources, decreasing in production due to large areas of productive land going under farm construction, and family or land disputes. The least is a lack of self-confidence to adopt and manage farm ponds.…”

During 2021-22, the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the farm pond on-demand initiative in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha and Marathwada regions were analysed and identified the constraints associated with farm pond adoption. Through focus group discussions, observations, and semi-structured interviews with 160 beneficiaries and 160 non beneficiaries of the farm pond programme, quantitative and qualitative data were gathered. The adoption and discontinuation of agricultural ponds were analysed using the rank-based quotient (RBQ) approach to find barriers and contributing variables. After consulting with subject matter experts, reading pertinent literature, and having a conversation with respondents, a list of constraints divided into four major categories-technical, economic, ecological, and personal constraints-and the perceived significant reason for the discontinuation of the farm pond was noted. Results revealed that the economic constraints were considered the most serious ones, with a mean RBQ value of 88.85. Followed by technological (78.25), ecological (61.82) and personal constraints (58.18). Draining the bore well or well to store water in the farm pond was considered as the most serious perceived reason to discontinue the farm pond with an RBQ value of 44.94, followed by a less productive period of farm pond reported by the respondents with RBQ values 40.38.

“…1). Change in cropping pattern and cropping intensity as also increase in productivity and profitability of farmers, who took up farm ponds/water harvesting structures were reported by several researchers [9][10][11][12][13] across different parts India. The present study also corroborated the similar findings as presented in Table 1 and Fig.…”

The present study was taken up in the black clay soil zone of Manthani mandal of Peddapalli district Telangana state in which series of on farm water harvesting structures were taken up by small and marginal farmers. The sizes of water harvesting structures, season wise cropping pattern, crop yields, cost of cultivation and net margins were collected from randomly selected farmers. Thereafter, techno economic feasibility of taking up water harvesting structures was assessed. The field study revealed that these structures are technically feasible and financially viable for effective rainwater harvesting, providing critical irrigation to crops, enhancing crop yields and cropping intensity, resulting in resilience to adverse effects of climate change and consequent improvement in livelihood security of farmers.
