Abstract
Farmers in different villages confirmed that water level in open wells increased on an average in the range of 5 to 8 feet during the NE monsoon rainy season and 2 -5 feet in the dry season during year. Farmers mentioned that period of water availability in open wells for irrigation extended from January before the IWDP initiative to end of March after the watershed development. This situation favored a change to double cropping with one or two supplemental irrigations for second crop between January to March. All this impact was felt by the beneficiaries because of good quality soil and water conservation structures at right location developed through this project. Commendable efforts by the project managers, staff, as well as WC were responsible for these positive impacts in these watersheds.......
