The shallow conical micro-catchments of 1.0 m radius constructed around the plant saplings were used to establish jujube (Zizyphus mauritiana) in arid conditions. The catchment surface was also lined with different waste materials like polythene bags, newspaper, stone and marble pieces. Results of the 2-year study showed significant treatment effects on the growth of jujube plants. Catchment lining also helped in maintaining the higher soil moisture status over the control (unlined) catchment. The stone and marble piece linings significantly increased the plant height by 40±48% over the control, the effect of other treatments are statistically similar.
