| Abstract/Description: | TO DETERMINE THE FREQUENCY OF DROUGHTS OF DIFFERENT INTENSITIES AND WATER HARVESTING POTENTIAL OF DISTRICT KOTA, FIFTEEN YEARS ( 1965-79) METEOROLOGICAL DATA WERE ANALYSED USING CLIMATIC WATER BALANCE APPROACH. ANALYSIS OF DATA SHOWED THAT OUT OF 15 YEARS , KOTA EXPERIENCED 8 DROUGHT VIZ 2 SEVERE, 5 LARGE AND ONE MODERATE. SUBNORMAL AND ERRATIC PATTERN OF THE RAINFALL ACCOMPANIED BY HIGH WATER USED WERE THE MAJOR FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR DROUGHTS. WATER BALANCE OF KOTA REVEALED THAT (I) PRECIPITATION (677MM) EXCEEDS THE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION ( 247MM) DEMAND FROM JULY TO SEPTEMBER AND WATER DEFICIENCY O 500 MM OCCURS FROM OCTOBER TO JUNE AND (II) 36% OF EXCESS PRECIPITATION ( 430MM) OVER WATER NEED APPEARS AS WATER SURPLUS (153MM) AND REMAINING 64% GOES TO SOIL PROFILE RECHARGE (277MM) . WATER SURPLUS ( 153MM) DURING KHARIF SEASON OFFERS AN IDEAL OPPORTUNITY FOR UTILISATION OF EXCESS WATER ( STORED IN FARM POND) TO PROVIDE PROTECTIVE IRRIGATION TO KHARIF CROPS DURING PERIOD OF MOISTURE STRESS OR TO RABI CROPS AS PRE- SOWING IRRIGATION FOR INCREASING CROP PRODUCTION UNDER RAINFED CONDITIONS. |
