Agriculture is the main source of livelihood for the the North Western Himalayan (NWH)
farmers who predominantly, being marginal farmers, pursue rain-dependent agriculture and face
serious water-related constraints. Therefore, an efficient technique for conservation and scientific
management of harvested water is essential for the profitable crop production especially for highvalue crops like fruits and vegetables. The hilly soils are light in texture which results in higher
seepage and percolation losses which renders construction of Kaccha pond, a non-feasible option for
runoff conservation. In such a situation, low cost poly-tank can be a useful strategy to harvest the
rain water in hilly region. This article describes the successful implementation of low cost poly-tank
(LCP) in agri-horti system in higher hills of Uttarakhand.
