of the Panchayat. It causes erosion in the upper ridges and flooding in the valleys. If this water is stored it can be a boon for the farmers and people living in this area. With the storage and treatments of the soil erosion percolation of water will increase and this will recharge the surface and ground water sources. This will also increase the base flow thus making seasonal nalas and rivulets perennial in the long run. This will improve the soil moisture regime of the Panchayat area and more water will be available for different purposes. With the number of water harvesting structures and water available for harvesting cropping intensity will increase. With the cropping intensity availability of food and fodder will increase. People do not keep good quality of milch animals because they face challenge in getting water for the animals. It will not only improve productivity of land but also productivity of the animals. On the bunds of the Ponds and other earthen structures grasses will be sown for reducing chances of bunds being eroded by rains. Some plants on the lower side of the ponds will also be plated for increasing green cover. Plants of green manuring species will be used on the bunds of the ponds. Check dams will be built on the main drainage line for storing water. This will recharge base flow of the drainage line and will also recharge the ground water table. From the check dams either irrigation channel will be carved or a lift irrigation system will be installed. Lift irrigation system: Lift irrigation system will be installed on the perennial drainage lines through construction of an intake well and by adopting suitable machines based on the power and irrigation potential calculations. Water budgeting will be done considering need of the drinking water for human and cattle population. Requirement for irrigation will also be calculated for estimating and designing water storage and harvesting structures. Crop coverage: Currently crop coverage is limited due to inadequate water storage and harvesting structures. Most of the crop coverage has been during monsoon and after harvesting paddy greenery is
