Abstract
In Srikakulam district, farmers most of them tribal in different villages confirmed that water level in open wells (used for drinking water) increased on an average in the range of 3 to 5 feet during the post-rainy season. 2. Farmers mentioned that period of water availability for irrigation to paddy crop extended due to percolation tanks, bigger check dams at the upper catchment of watershed storing more water, and check dams as drop structures controlling free runoff at the lower reach of the watershed...............
