abstract: Semi-Arid Tropics (SAT) are characterized by highly variable rainfall,
poor soils, low yields and poor developmental infrastructure. Watershed
management is now an accepted strategy for development of rainfed
agriculture in these areas. New science tools like remote sensing,
geographical information systems (GIS), water balance, simulation
modeling, information and communication technology (ICT) are
currently being used very widely in irrigated and well-endowed areas.
Importance of these tools in the SAT areas is now well understood and
recognized. Application of new science tools in rain-fed agriculture
opens up new vistas for development through integrated watershed
management programs (IWMP). ICRISAT in partnership with national
agricultural research systems and advanced research institutes in
Asia has applied new science tools for enhancing the productivity of
rain-fed systems in the SAT through science-led development.
