The Indian Institute of Soil and Water Conservation (IISWC) and its research Centres have developed successfully many model
watersheds in India in the past and implemented large number of Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) technologies for sustainable
management of watersheds. Though many evaluation studies regarding hydrology and crop production have been conducted on these
watershed projects in the past, assessment of continue adoption ofSWCtechnologies has not been done. This research study was conducted
during 2012-15 as core project at Vasad as lead centre along with IISWC headquarter Dehradun, and Centres Agra, Bellary, Chandigarh,
Datia, Kota & Ooty, with the specific objective to measure the extent of continue adoption behaviour of farmers towards adopted SWC
technologies and also ascertain the factors responsible for their continuance for watershed management. Data collection schedule was
developed along with indices for measurement of continue adoption behaviour of farmers towards SWC technologies. Proportionate
stratified random sampling plan was adopted for selection of at least 50 respondent farmers from selected 38 watersheds in the country and
data collection was done through personal interview method. The study revealed that about three-fourth (73%) SWC technologies
continued adopted by farmers of watersheds developed by IISWC and its centres in the country. It was also revealed that farmers continued
adopted bunding (62.7%), land leveling (37.1%), terracing (29.3%), check dam (22.8%), gully plug (11.2%) and pond (6.2%) technologies
by beneficiary farmers in their fields for sustainable management of watersheds. Reduction in runoff & soil loss, ground water recharge
and more yield were the most important reasons for continued adoption of these SWC technologies for sustainable management of the
watersheds developed by IISWC and its Centres in the country.
