"Assessment of Agricultural Technologies for Dryland Systems in South Asia: A Case Study of Western Rajasthan, India"^^ . "Western Rajasthan accounts for 61% of the total hot arid zone in India (31.7 m ha). The rest of the arid\r\narea is spread over Gujarat (20%), Punjab and Haryana (9%), as well as small parts of Andhra Pradesh and\r\nKarnataka (10%). The arid region receives <450 mm annual rainfall with 40-80% coefficient of variation.\r\nWith evapotranspiration (ET) four to five-fold higher than rainfall, aridity, deficit water balance, and\r\nscarcity of water for drinking and other purposes are often severe. Natural resources such as water, land\r\nand vegetation are very fragile and partly non-resilient, and hence the area is prone to irreversible land\r\ndegradation and desertification under excessive pressure from human and livestock populations. Arable\r\ncropping alone is not a dependable proposition in these drylands. Animal wealth provides sustainable\r\nsupport to livelihoods, but the sector is not yet well organized. Only one crop can be grown during a good\r\nrainfall year, and on average, a year of good harvest is normal during a cycle of five years, while two are\r\nexpected to yield moderate crops and at least two failures are usual. The arid region offers limited scope\r\nfor water harvesting and recycling, particularly at a watershed scale. There is better scope for integrated\r\nland resource development on the basis of village clusters, index catchments and dune-interdune complex."^^ . "2017" . . .
