1. Chapter 1:
Seed is an important and crucial agricultural input. It is reported that use of quality
seeds contribute to nearly 20 to 25% of the crop yield. Timely supply of required seeds is
most important to increase food production and farmers income. Based on the Seed
Replacement Rates, the Department works out the requirement of certified/quality seeds and
communicates to all the concerned Department Officers and the seed supplying agencies for
timely supply of seeds to the farming community. Regular meetings of the Seed
producers/suppliers are conducted and supply position of seeds is reviewed scrupulously.
General Seed Distribution:
During 2018-19 as per the Seed Replacement norms, it was estimated that totally
15.75 lakh quintals certified/quality seed are required for the State. As against this
requirement, 12.75 lakh quintals (Upto end of March-2019) of seeds have been distributed.

Scheme: suitable plant protection techniques to protect the crop
stand from insect pests and diseases. Promotion of
integrated pest management approach through distribution
of biopesticides under subsidy to farmers to control
insects, diseases and weeds in crop fields effectively
besides reducing environmental pollution.
Similarly, agriculture produce must be scientifically
stored in order to reduce the damage from rats, bandicoots,
insects and diseases. To reduce the storage losses,
scientific storage bins are distributed to farmers under
subsidy.

Pesticides are supplied to farmers under subsidy for
timely control of endemic and epidemic pests of imporant
agricultural crops.
In order to protect the crops from seed and soil borne
pest and diseases in earlier crop statges, inturn to get
higher yields, awareness has been created by conducting
seed treatment campaigns.
The composite inspectors of seed, fertiliser and
pesticides are trained to effectively regulate the quality of
agricultural inputs like seeds, fertilizers and insecticides
under respective Acts. Funds are also made available for
effective regulation and implementation of quality control
programme.
To create awareness among farmers and input dealers
regarding the safe and judicious use of pesticides, training
programmes are being conducted with the availble funds
under this scheme.

1. Adoption of scheme has resulted in
significant change in the land use pattern
and there is an increase in cropped area
2. In districts where rainfall was
comparatively better, particularly in
southern districts, there was a shift in the
cropping pattern from traditional field
crops like Ragi, Jowar, Green gram,
Maize etc., to high value horticultural
crops like vegetables, flowers and fruits.
3. The income level of farmers has
considerably increased due to shift in the
cropping pattern.
51
4. The water use efficiency has increased due
to adoption of micro irrigation system like
Sprinkler and Drip.

g) Brief analysis of the performance trends and implementation constraints,
reasons for shortfall in delivering the benefit/reaching out to the beneficiaries
and delay in implementation;
During the initial stages of implementation of the programme, significant response
was received from the farmers, but during the actual implementation, their response
declined. In this context, during 2015-16, several field visits and discussions were held with
52
the farmers to exchange the ideas. Further suitable modifications in the strategies were made
in guidelines for easy implementation of the programme.
Further to bring awareness in the farming community about this scheme, trainings
and seminars were conducted at village level on war footing. Further, field days showcasing
the benefits of the scheme were organized in the fields of farmers who had successfully
implemented the programme. Wide publicity regarding the scheme was given in awareness
programmes such as Krishi Abhiyan and Krishi Melas organised by State Agricultural
Universities.
In 2016-17, farmers meet was organized in Koppal district to commemorate the success
of the scheme. During the meet there was exchange of information, success stories of
farmers were replicated which helped in movitating non-beneficiary farmers.
During the year 2017-18, “Farmers experience sharing workshop” was organized in
Bangalore, mainly to share the experiences of farmers who had adopted the scheme in their
farms. Farmers expressed that the scheme is highly beneficial especially for the dryland
farmers, and has increased water use efficiency and area under irrigation. Further, by
adopting fish rearing and integrated farming system, it has considerably increased the
income level of farmers. As also the water stored has been serving as a source of water for
animals during dry spells and for rural household activities. As there is huge deamand by the
farmers to adopt the scheme in their farms, the scheme has been converged and implemented
with other schemes of the department and with other allied departmental schemes.

shortfall in delivering the benefit/reachng out to the beneficiaries and delay in
implementation:
Assistance is given only for varieties of oilseeds not older than 10-15 years under seed
production and certified seed distribution component. The new varieties are not very popular
among farmes. Therefore the progress is less under this component.

implementation:
In Karnataka 78,32,189 farm holdings exist. Soil test values will get varied over a
period of three years. Hence soil testing has to be done at least once in two years At present,
30 Soil testing laboratories are catering to the needs of state farmers in respect of soil testing.
Government of India launched this programme on 19-02-2015 with the objective of
collection and analysis of soil samples and issue soil health cards to all the farm holdings.
Implementation of the programme by the department started vide G.O.No. AD 66 AMS
79
2015 ( I & II), dated 06-11-2015. The programme was launched on world Soil Day,
December 5th 2015 and all the 30 soil health centres of the department have been made
operational. Staff required for soil analysis in soil testing laboratories have been outsourced.
one mobile soil testing laboratory has been established in Belaghavi district. During Ist cycle
(2015-16 & 2016-17), 16.83 lakh soil samples have been collected and analysed as against
the target of 16.66 lakh soil samples , 78.32 lakh Soil health cards generated and distributed
as against the target of 78.32 lakhs. During 2st year of 2nd cycle (2018-19), 8.33 lakh soil
samples have been collected and 9.91 lakh soil samples analysed, 61.57 lakh Soil health
cards generated & 67.18 lakh Soil health cards(2017-18 pending targets of soil sample

June; by 10th June covered all parts of Coastal and South Interior Karnataka and by 19th June
covered all parts of North Interior Karnataka.
111
During June major parts of the State received excess/normal rainfall. Actual average
rain fall was 234 mm as against a normal of 195 mm.(+20%)
During July, major parts of South and North Interior Karnataka received low rainfall,
Raichur, Koppal, Vijayapur, Yadgir, Chikkaballapur, Bagalkote, Chitradurga, Davanagere,
Bellary, Ramanagar, Bidar, Kalaburgi, Bengaluru rural and urban, Haveri, Mandya, Tumkur,
Kolar, Belagavi and Dharwad districts received low rainfall against normal rainfall. Actual
average rain fall was 250 mm as against a normal of 280 mm deficit by 10%.
During actual average rain fall was 230 mm as against a normal of 206 mm (+12%).
During September monsoon was weak over major parts of the State, except
Shivamogga, Kodagu, Hassan, Chikkamagaluru, Davanagere, Mandya, Dakshin kannada,
Udupi, Uttar kannada, Belagavi, Raichur, Bellary Districts where excess rainfall affected the
crops like Paddy, Redgram, Black gram, Jowar, Soybean, etc., in an area about 0.274 lakh ha.
At the same time area affected by dry spell was 27.32 lakh ha. The actual rainfall was 89 mm
as against a normal of 159 mm, deficit by 44%.
Cummulative rainfall from 1st June to 30th September was 804 mm as against a
normal of 839 mm (-4%)
Month-wise normal/actual rainfall during pre-monsoon and southwest monsoon
period, its’ pattern and distribution over taluks was as follows:

Southwest monsoon (June to September)
Area coverage
Sowing of kharif crops was completed in an area of 66.42 lakh hectares against a set
target of 74 lakh hectares by end of September, accounting for 89% coverage. Normal
coverage by end of September stands around 67.99 lakh hectares; the corresponding coverage
of previous kharif season was 64.56 lakh hectares.
Failure of rains during July and September caused set back in area coverage of Ragi
in Southern districts. Inadequate rains in Malnad districts and command area of Cauvery river
112
resulted in poor progress in area coverage of Paddy in Mysore, Mandya, Chamarajnagar,
Hassan, Chikkamagaluru and Tumakuru districts. Deficit rains in Shimoga and Kodagu also
caused set back in coverage of rainfed paddy.
Farmers were advised to take up semi dry crops like Ragi, Minor millets, Horse gram
etc in place of high water intensive crops like Paddy and Sugarcane in view of deficit rains
and inadequate water storage in major reservoirs. But, the deficit/scanty rainfall during July
and September (-10% & -44%) in Southern districts barred the farmers to take up even such
sowing.
Impact of Dry spell
Kharif crops in an area of 27.32 lakh hectares (41%of sown area) suffered due to
moisture stress and it affected the yield significantly. Out of this 26.18 lakh hectares were
estimated to be area with greater than 33% yield loss.
Drought Declaration:
On the basis of rainfall deficiency, dry spell duration and moisture adequacy index
Government declared 100 taluks as drought affected taluks.
II. RABI
Rabi production programme depends upon residual soil moisture and Northeast
monsoon rainfall during October – December. The northern districts account for nearly 90%
of the total Rabi area in the State. The major crops grown are Rabi Jowar, Bengal gram,
Wheat, Sunflower, Safflower, Linseed etc.
Northeast monsoon:
Rainfall during October was scanty in all the northern districts of the State except
Bidar, where normal rainfall occurred. Actual average rainfall was 91 mm as against a
normal of 176 mm in the State, thus deficit by 48%.
During November also, rainfall continued to be scanty in the State and in northern
districts the deficiency was 48%. Actual average rainfall was 14 mm as against a normal of
41 mm, thus deficit by 65%.
During December light to moderate rainfall occurred over major parts of South
Interior Karnataka and Malnad regions. Rainfall deficiency was 54% in northern districts.
Actual average rainfall during the month was 5 mm as against a normal of 10 mm.
Cummulative rainfall from 1st October to 31st December 2018 was 96 mm as against a
normal of 188 mm, deficit by 49%, but the deficiency was 81% in North Interior districts.
Cummulative rainfall was normal only in 11 taluks, deficit in 100 taluks and scanty in the rest
65 taluks.

Area coverage
Sowing of Rabi crops was completed in an area of 27.89 lakh hectares by end of
December against a set target of 31.80 lakh hectares, accounting for 88% coverage. Normal
coverage by end of December stands around 30.47 lakh hectares; the corresponding coverage
of previous Rabi season was 32.44 lakh hectares. Complete failure of rains from October to
December in Northern districts caused set back in area coverage of Rabi crops especially
Jowar, Wheat and Sunflower.
Impact of Dry spell
Drought during Rabi affected crops in 20.40 lakh hectares and out of this 19.46 lakh
hectare area was estimated to be with greater than 33% yield loss.
Drought Declaration:
On the basis of rainfall deficiency, dry spell duration and moisture adequacy index
Government declared 156 taluks as drought affected taluks
III. SUMMER
Normally sowing of summer crops is taken up under irrigation sources in an area of
about 5.41 lakh hectares in the State. Sowing of summer crops commences in December
(except Groundnut as Rabi/Summer during 2nd fortnight of October in some parts of NIK)
and concludes by mid of March. Summer crop production mainly depends on irrigation water
availability in major/minor irrigation reservoirs and tanks as well as adequate power supply.
It was programmed to cover 5.41 lakh hectares under various summer crops like
Paddy, Groundnut, Sunflower, Maize, etc under different irrigation sources. Failure of rains
during the end Southwest and Northeast monsoon resulted in water storage in majority of the
major/minor irrigation reservoirs, tanks and depleted groundwater table in most of the
districts.
Sowing of summer crops like Paddy, Groundnut, Sunflower, etc. was taken up only in
an area of 2.81 lakh hectares against the set target of 5.41 lakh hectares accounting for 52%
progress. Non-availability of canal irrigation in many districts and depleted ground water in
major parts caused severe setback in the area coverage of summer crops.
114
Production Prospects:
As 66% of the cultivated area in the State is under rainfed cultivation and failure of
rains for consecutive four month (July-September 2018) has made a severe impact on the
agricultural production. As per 3rd advance estimates of Directorate of Economics &
Statistics, production of cereals, pulses and oilseeds is estimated to be in the order of 89.22,
17.41 and 8.60 lakh tonnes, against the respective target of 115, 20 and 14 lakh tonnes.
The decline in production is due to decline in area coverage and the prevailing drought
situation.
Estimates of Crop-wise Targetted and likely achievement of area / production are
furnished in Annexure- I.
Agriculture Production Programme for 2019-20:
Considering the area coverage of agriculture crops in recent years and anticipating
well distributed pre-monsoon, southwest monsoon and northeast monsoon during 2019-20; it
is programmed to cover agriculture crops in 75.18 lakh hectares during Kharif, 31.48 lakh
hectares during Rabi and 5.50 lakh hectares during summer season.
The production target in respect of cereals, pulses and oilseeds is proposed to be
116.26, 22.50 and 14.72 lakh tonnes, respectively. Production target for commercial crops
viz. Cotton, Sugarcane and Tobacco is proposed at 19.01 lakh bales, 400 lakh tonnes and 0.71
lakh tonnes, respectively.

WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Annual Report 2018-19
OUR VISION
1. To be counted among the most Professional, Pioneering, Innovative, Dedicated
and Farmer- Focused Watershed Development Department in the nation.
2. To have sustainable development of land resources in the rainfed / degraded areas
of rural Karnataka and to enhance their productivity.
3. To achieve the goal of sustainable development through participatory approach of
stakeholders in watershed development programme and enhance livelihood
opportunities of the people living in the rainfed / degraded areas.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to develop, promote and implement through participatory
approaches, a decentralized, cost effective/productive, transparent and sustainable
Watershed treatment package;
1. To meet rural livelihood needs
2. To enhance employment and income opportunities for the poor,
3. To improve the productive potential of natural resource base,
4. To reduce the poverty and natural resources like soil, water, plant and livestock
resource degradation.
INTRODUCTION
India is one of the major agricultural countries with more than 65% of the population
depending on it. Indian agriculture is dependent on monsoon which is not uniform over the
years. Nearly three fourth of the cultivable land in India is dependent on monsoon.
The productivity of any crop mainly depends on two natural resources- land and water
in addition to management practices. Therefore the conservation, up gradation and utilization
of these two natural resources on scientific principles is essential for the sustainability of
rainfed agriculture. The watershed concept for development of rainfed agriculture is gaining
importance over the years and it amply demonstrated that watershed developmental tools are
very effective in meeting the objectives and mission.
Karnataka has been given an important place for Watershed Development because
75% of the cropped area in Karnataka depends upon low and uncertain rainfall. The
geographical area of the State is 190.50 lakh ha. of which 129.70 lakh ha. is available for
watershed development. Upto the end of 2018-19 an area of 69.85 lakh ha is already
treated, and 59.85 lakh ha. (Out of which 7.54 lakh ha. is under treatment) is yet to be
treated.
Importance of watershed development in Karnataka:
The land resources of Karnataka, especially its dry drought prone lands, which
comprises more than 79 % of the total arable area, have been poorly managed by the resource
117
poor farmers of the State. Soil loss due to erosion coupled with reduced water resources
resour has
led to a situation of rapid soil fertility deterioration, declining/stagnating crop yields,
depletion of underground water sources, deforestation, denudation, destruction of natural
pasture and diminishing biomass production. Exploring the full potential pot of rainfed
agriculture to meet the food , fodder and fuel requirement of the State population, is the only
alternative, however, this will require investing in suitable soil and water conservation
technologies, crop breeding targeted to rainfed environments,
environments, agricultural extension services
and access to markets, credit and input supplies in rainfed areas.
Karnataka has the highest proportion (79%) of drought prone area among all major
States in the country and in absolute terms it has the second largest
largest area of dry land in the
country after Rajasthan.

CHAPTER-I
History of Watershed Development:
1. Watershed Development Department(WDD): ( 2000 onwards)
Soil and water conservation, a pre-requisite for the farming sector to flourish, started with
a massive field bunding programme, which has undergone a horizontal and vertical
transformation up to year 2000 and Karnataka State Dept of Agriculture (KSDA) was the
nodal agency. The Watershed Development Department was started during the year 2000 to
make the watershed development a more professional and to implement the watershed
programmes on more co-ordinated and in an integrated manner. The concept of peoples
participation was refined, redefined and strengthened by way of restructuring the guidelines
for implementation of NWDPRA ( Jana sahabhagithva 2002) and Area Development
Programmes like DPAP / DDP / IWDP ( Hariyali 2003) by GoI. Even though initially all the
watershed development projects implemented by KSDA were transferred to WDD, the
projects of ADP were also transferred to WDD, later in the year 2005.
Creation of Watershed Development Department in Karnataka:
In the background of growing population in the State with a consequent increasing
demand for food grains, was strongly felt for bringing large tracts of rainfed / dry land area
under watershed treatment to increase productivity. Different Departments like the
Agriculture, which was implementing different soil and water conservation programmes and
watershed projects, the RD&PR implementing various rural development programmes
having, watershed concept as a component through Panchayath Raj Institutions, the
Horticulture, Forest, and Animal Husbandry Departments were also carrying out various
watershed programmes. In addition, there is also a component of non-land based activities in
watershed development and participation of NGOs and village committees. Therefore the
GoK considered various aspects including commitment given in the context of an externally
aided project and decided that better co-ordination in planning, implementation and
supervision would be achieved by setting up a separate department of watershed with multi
disciplinary teams. With this prime aim, to develop watershed in an integrated and co-
ordinated manner, the Government of Karnataka created Watershed Development
119
Department vide order AHD: 206:AML.94 (Vol-III) dated 31.12.1999 and it came into
effect from 01.04.2000. This Department is given the responsibility of coordinating the
formulation, planning and execution of different activities of agriculture, soil conservation,
afforestation, horticulture, livestock, pasture development and income generation activities
etc., in an integrated manner on the watershed concept.
CHAPTER-II
TREATMENT INTERVENTIONS
Social mobilization and capacity building:
People’s participation and community organization is mandatory for Watershed
Development Programmes
Participatory watershed Treatment:
People’s participation is the key to effective and sustainable watershed development
programmes. This will not only ensure long term sustainability of the watershed development
process through ownership of the programmes but also empower the watershed communities
to initiate activities on their own and take optimal advantage of other ongoing developmental
programmes. The participatory approach enhances implementation ability at the local level
and create community infrastructure for micro-watershed projects.
One of the main objectives of watershed programmes in Karnataka is to strengthen
the capacities of communities for participatory involvement in planning, implementation,
social and environmental management, and maintenance of assets arising from local level
development programmes. In watershed programmes, social mobilization process involves
the following activities.
1. Awareness creation:
The various awareness building

activities like house visits, group
meetings, grama sabhas, street plays,
jathas, video-shows, wall paintings,
animal health camps, hasiru habba,
PRA excercises etc. are conducted at
the village level with the assistance of
NGOs.
2. Entry point activities: To meet the

desire and felt needs of the community
and to develop rapport with people,
some of the infrastructural activities like
drinking water and sanitation systems,
community buildings, school buildings,
cattle troughs etc. were taken up to
initiate people participation in
watershed development.
120
3. Community Based Organizations
(CBOs): Community based organizations
like Self Help Groups (SHG),User Groups
(UGs) and Watershed Committees (WC) are
formed at each micro-watershed. The Poor
and vulnerable people are organized into
SHGs and land owning farmers are organized
in to UGs. The watershed committee mainly
consists of representatives of SHGs, UGs, and
PRIs. Watershed Development Department
gets support from NGOs for community
organization and Capacity Building
Soil and water Conservation measures

The most serious forms of soil erosion in Karnataka are sheet, rill and gully erosion.
The estimated annual soil loss is 4 to 10, 14 to 65, 30 to 40 tons per ha. in red, black and
lateritic soils, respectively. Such soil loss apart from
removing fertile top soil, reduce the rooting depth and
adversely affect moisture storage and thereby the crop yields.
The large quantity of eroded soil deposited in tanks,
reservoirs, streams and river beds and reduce their storage
and carrying capacities. Soil erosion depends on various
factors like rainfall, soil type, vegetation and land use.
Mechanical as well as vegetative measures are used for soil and water conservation. The
important principles that are kept in view in planning erosion control measures are:
1. Time of concentration of runoff water should be increased to allow maximum

absorption.
2. Long slopes should be divided into several short ones to reduce the velocity of runoff
water to non-erosive value.
3. Rill formation should be prevented
4. Measures must be simple and have relatively low cost for easy adoption.
121
Land Management Practices
1. Arable land treatment
1.1 Field bunds:
These are the earthen embankments

constructed along the boundary lines of the
individual farmers plot to conserve the soil and
moisture in his plot itself.
1.2 Trench-cum-pit method of bunding:

It is a newly evolved bunding type, where
in the earthen embankments constructed
with a 5 mtr length x 1 mtr width x 0.6 mtr
depth trenches and by leaving 0.6 mtr in
between trenches (upstream toe of the
bund and the trench). More runoff water
can be stored, there by more water
infiltrates into the soil and provides
moisture for longer period to the
development of vegetation.
1.3 Contour strip: Contour strip formed in the areas where rainfall is less, gentle slope with
less infiltration. This is to increase the moisture infiltration rate. Within the two contour
strips small size bunds with bund former are also made.
1.4 Boulder bunds:
This is a bund across the slope constructed by

using locally available stones / boulders in the
sand mixed soils and in the shallow soils. This
is an alternative to the contour bund, where
there is no enough soil to form bunds.
1.5 Graded bunds: These are trapezoidal earthen embankments constructed on grade across
the major slope. These bunds are taken up in Medium to Deep Black soils and areas with
receiving annual rainfall of more than 750 mm, where runoff is high and surplussing is
essential.
1.6 Vegetative bund/ Vegetative check: A live vegetative barrier on the contours is made
which will decrease the velocity of rain water and in turn soil erosion is controlled. These
checks could also be formed in between the contour bunds.
122
1.7 Water ways: These are formed
along the slope for safe disposal of
excess rain water from cultivable
areas to nalas. Grass turffing is also
carried out in the water ways to
avoid further scouring.
1.8 Farm ponds: Farm ponds are opened

across the water ways by digging the soil.
The excess rain water is harvested and the
harvested water is used for various activities
like giving protective irrigation to vegetables
and orchards including drinking water to
animals and birds.
INTERBUND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

Fall ploughing.
Land levelling to avoid local stagnation
Vegetative barriers - Khus/Subabul/Dicanthium across slope at 10 to15m interval
Deep tillage
Adoption of ridges and furrows, Beds across slope
Small bund (0.09 sq. m) or (0.18 Sq.m) at 10m / 15m interval across slope
Vertical mulching
2. Non-Arable Land Treatment
Treatment of non-arable land has been inevitable to reduce the runoff and to create
water storage at field level. They help to distribute moisture uniformly on sloping land so
that natural vegetation grows successfully and restores the bio-diversity.
2.1 Contour Trench / 'V' ditches: These are trenches /

V-ditches dug on contour in non-arable lands of more than
3% slope to hold run off for conservation and reducing
erosion. They are established for development of trees and
grass species and are adoptable in areas with annual rainfall of
up to 950 mm.
2.2 Pits with Crescent - shaped bunds: These consists of staggered rows of pits with
crescent-shaped bunds for planting trees and are adoptable in non-arable lands especially in
123
rock out crop areas having 3% (3 – 5%)slope in areas with annual rainfall of less than 950
mm.
2.3 Catch pits: These are large pits dug at rill points and in waterways to trap runoff water.
They are adoptable in hilly lands with rock outcrops.
2.4 Continuous contour trenches: Trenches are opened at a distance of 5 to 10 meters with
0.45 meter depth and 0.6 meters width in the areas where annual rainfall is less than 750 mm.
The rain water is collected in the trenches and then the plants could be planted.
2.5 Staggered contour trenches: These are opened where there is undulating soil slope with
humps.
2.6 Graded contour trenches: These trenches are made in the black soil areas and areas
where rainfall is more than 750 mm, for safe disposal of excess water and forest plants are
planted.
2.7 Water recharging pit: The pit is opened in
the uncultivable area in the direction of
diversion channels / water ways or nearby
areas where there is flat lands. Dry stone
pitching on the three sides of upstream side
also be done.
2.8 Diversion channel: Diversion channel is
formed to avoid the rain water that flows
from pasture lands, hilly areas, and forest
areas entering into the cultivable area. A
drain across the slope is opened for safe
disposal of runoff water.
3. Drainage line treatment

3.1 Upper reaches treatment
3.1.1 Vegetative checks:
Sod-forming grasses like Cynodon dactylon,

Digitaria and Dicanthium are planted. In some cases
trees and shrubs such as Ipomoea cornea, Vitex
nigundo, agave, Saccharum munja and bamboo are
also recommended for Sod strip, Sodded earthen
check & Shrub checks to filer silt in the runoff
water. (The locally available Agaves, lavancha,
Jatropa, Pongamia etc could be used as vegetative
checks)
124
3.1.2 Vegetative filter strips: These are made to reduce the velocity of rain water coming
from hills, forest area across the slope at intercepting areas where cultivable and uncultivable
areas join. Once the vegetative strips are grown fully it will act as a barrier to check the flow
of water from slopes and soil erosion is controlled.
3.1.3 Boulder checks: These are

porous checks across the gully
constructed using boulders to check
water velocity and to arrest silt.
3.1.5 Brush wood checks: These are porous checks constructed across the gully with
wooden pegs and brush wood and are adoptable in all areas.
3.1.6 Gabions: These are dams made of wire-woven baskets filled with stones placed in
trench of suitable size across steep-sloped gullies to trap erosion debris during rains. They
are adoptable in all areas of high slopes and high rainfall.
3.1.7 Water recharge pit: Pit is opened in the soils where there is less water infiltration rate.
The pit is opened in the gentle slope nalas / gullies where the upper reaches are already
treated so that there is less scope of siltation. These should be opened preferably adjacent to
open walls or borewells. (It may be open type or filled with Graded filters)
3.1.8 Sunken ponds: The rain water flowing

in gully will be collected in Sunken pond so
that the moisture percentage in the
surrounding area is increased. The excavated
soil is put as bund (with stone pitching to the
exposed surfaces) so that water storage is
increased.
3.2 Middle reaches treatment:
3.2.1 Loose Rock Ravine Reclamation Structure/ Rock filled dam:
These structures are constructed where there is no

necessity of impounding more water and to avoid
further scouring. These are constructed at the
points where gullies join and of serious nature.
The availability of stones should be within 40kms
distance.
125
3.3 Lower reaches treatment:
3.3.1 Check dams: These are stone masonry

structures constructed across deep nala with the
objective of storing runoff water for providing
protective irrigation, drinking water for the
cattle and wild life and to recharge
underground water table besides reducing
sedimentation of tanks and reservoirs.
3.3.2 Vented dam: Stone masonry or

RCC work taken up in the high
rainfall areas. The vents are provided
to allow the water flow during the
rainy season and store water after the
rainfall ceases. Wooden Planks are
provided to close the vents. The
stored water is used for irrigation.
3.3.3 Nala bunds: This structure consists of

composite earthen embankment constructed
across the nalas and valleys in arable and
non-arable lands to store run--off for
recharging ground water and make water
available for social and agricultural use at
surface level.
3.3.4 Percolation tank: This is also Nala bund

but with stone, cement masonry outlet to drain
the excess water. This is opted where there is
less scope for cut-out
out let and hills present in
the catchment. It helps to store run-off
run for
recharging ground water er and make water
available for social and agricultural

FORESTRY
Upto 20% of the project fund is usually earmarked for agro-forestry and afforestation
by planning multipurpose tree species including models like block plantation and community
land afforestation. Emphasis is given for planting of multipurpose tree species preferred by
farmers for fuel, fodder, fruit, green manure and other uses. Bio-fuel trees like pongamia and
neem are being encouraged. The residual oil cake can also be used as good bio-fertilizer.
Farm Forestry:
Farm forestry is implemented in
farmers’ land within the watershed
areas. In this model 100 plants useful
and economically beneficial to farmers’
are being planted. For ex: Teak,
Silveroak, Hebbevu, Halasu, Honge,
Bevu, Nerale, Seethaphal, Nugge,
Karibevu, Nelli, Nimbe, Perale, Hippe,
Seemarouba, Subabul, Agase, etc. The
plants being planted should be
economically beneficial to farmers’ in
the form of fodder, green manure, fuel,
timber along with enriching the soil.
Plantation (Afforestation/Artificial
afforestation)
Preference is given for planting in
the community land available within
the micro-watershed.The land which is
degraded because of man-animal
encroachment, multi-purpose tree
species are being planted. By doing
this, 1) soil and moisture conservation
in degraded lands will be conserved by
planting trees which makes the land
fertile and useful to farmers’ of that
region, 2) This will help in containing
erosion of fertile soil and helps in
conserving the nature.

HORTICULTURE
Dryland Horticulture :
Horticulture Sector plays an important role in the development of watershed area by
the concept of dry land horticulture. The growing of suitable perennial dry land horticultural
crops not only brings soil and water conservation insitu, but also makes best use of available
moisture resulting in increase in the returns. This creates an eco-friendly environment in
addition with generation of rural employment opportunities. The planting materials of
suitable horticultural crops like fruit, flowers and perennial Vegetable crops are supplied and
planted in the identified beneficiaries lands.
Agri-Horticulture:
This is the practice of cultivating perennial fruit crops along with annual field crops
and is particularly useful in marginal and sub-marginal farmers. Annual agriculture crops can
be grown as intercrops in the available space for certain years.
These inter crops provide returns to farmers in pre-initial years, while perennial
horticultural crops gives income every year up to 25-50 years.
Vegetable minikit programs:
It is one of the important programme, which is being implemented in watershed area.
Vegetable minikit are distributed to all the section of farmers. The beneficiaries family
members get nutritive food at least by consuming the produce of this minikit. They also earn
small portion of income by selling vegetables.
Bund sowing of Horticulture Seeds:
The suitable horticulture crop seeds such as vegetable and fruit seeds are sown all
along the bunds under this programme. This practice strengthens the bunds against rain and
wind associated erosion. It not only brings additional income by selling the produce but
also improves the nutrition status of the community by consuming the fresh produce in their
daily diet.
Sujala-III is an important project, where in Horticulture crops have been planned and
recommended for growing in the farmer field based on scientific data which is generated in
farmer field. viz., Soil surface and structural characteristic, nutritional status, land use,
availability of ground water and its characteristic, weather, climatic conditions, hydro
geography etc., by utilizing the scientific data farmer can grow suitable crop in their land and
would get substantially more income. For land less people income generating livelihood
programmes have been formulated and implemented based on the socio economic status
survey report.
During the year 2018-19 under PMKSY-(WD) Rs. 1881.63 lakhs has been spent for
area expansion (12053.21 Ha.), bund sowing, vegetable minikit distribution programmes.
Under SUJALA-III Rs. 773.98 lakhs has been spent for area expansion (7649.91 Ha.), bund
sowing, vegetable minikit distribution programmes respectively.

LIVESTOCK
Animal Husbandry is an important activity that brings sustainability to agriculture
sector and also supplements for providing food security to the nation. In integrated farming,
livestock rearing helps in organic farming and to enhance soil fertility. Livestock rearing
depends on the type of feed and fodder. In order to prevent soil erosion by over grazing stall
feeding is promoted in watershed areas by constructing shelters for animals.
In order to bridge the gap in fodder scarcity, fodder development and demonstrations
are arranged by the Watershed Development Department.
Animal Health Camps are conducted in each Micro watershed twice in a year to
improve fertility status of the animals and to prevent parasitic infestations and communicable
diseases in livestock.
During the year under PMKSY-WD in fodder development activity, Fodder area has
been developed in an area of 1871.07 ha. and produced 56132 metric ton grass by spending
Rs. 159.21 lakhs. 921 Animal Health Camps have been conducted. In these Animal Health
Camps vaccination against communicable diseases, Anti- parasitic dosing and infertility
treatment has been carried out. Mineral mixture has been distributed to improve health status
of the animals and to enhance production. Demonstration of Enrichment of fodder and
extension activities were also carried out at the time of conducting these Animal Health
Camps.
Under Sujala-III programme during 2018-19, under fodder development programme
perennial grasses area has been developed in an area of 306 ha. and 5625 fodder minikit were
distributed 2188 rams were also distributed Rs. 264.10 lakhs has been spent since inception
of programme.
