    Abstract

    Study region: The study was carried out at community scale watershed in one of the fragile ecologies of Central India. Study focus: This paper quantifies the impact of rainwater management (RWM) interventions on major water balance components, irrigation use, crop intensification and energy consumption and their interrelationships. New hydrological insights for the region: RWM interventions harvested additional 35 mm of surface runoff in various masonry structures and facilitated groundwater recharge from 720 mm rainfall received. The net groundwater recharge during monsoon season was estimated 75
