Subject Watershed management
 
Description ICRISAT
has undertaken strategic research in the area of soil, water, nutrient and crop management
with the sole aim of enhancing the objective of rainwater use efficiency through rainwater
conservation and harvesting which can be used as supplementary irrigation during the dry
spells. ICRISAT has developed consortium approach for managing community watersheds
and have developed good agricultural practices for sustaining the development in the
rainfed areas. Icrisat has long experience in conducting on-farm participatory trials in
number of their benchmark watersheds in different states of India and Asia.
Our Research Program, Resilient Dryland Systems (RDS) works with an aim to improve
rural livelihoods and increase food security through sustainable integrated natural resource
management. Water is always in short supply in the dry tropics, so we place special
importance on watershed management (including water harvesting techniques in the SAT.
During last 36 years, institute has worked on various technologies for improving water use
efficiency.
