Development, Government of India, New Delhi; for assigning the study of impact
assessment of DPAP Batch I watersheds in Medak district. We greatly acknowledge to the
Commissioner, Department of Rural Development, the Government of Andhra Pradesh for
providing co-ordination with Project Director, District Water Management Agency
(DWMA), Medak; to guide us in selecting watersheds for complete representation of
variability of watersheds for the study of impact assessment of DPAP Batch I watersheds in
Medak.
We sincerely acknowledge the support and guidance of Project Director, DWMA for
providing all support with active participation and getting required support from his project
staff. We record our profound thanks to Mr. Mangaiah Sarma, Additional Project Director,
DWMA, and Assistant Project Director of Narayankhed, Sangareddy and Zaheerabad
mandals for their untiring support and help touring along with us every day and organizing
gram sabhas and field visits in all watersheds, which was most crucial in our efforts.
We profusely thank Dr. William D. Dar, Director General of ICRISAT for his approval to
undertake this study and encouragement for a good analysis of the study","Farmers in different villages confirmed that water level in open wells increased
on an average in the range of 3 to 10 feet during the SW monsoon rainy season
and water availability is extended by about two months in the dry season during
summer. Farmers mentioned that period of water availability in wells for
irrigation extended from January/February before the DPAP initiative to end of
March/April after the watershed development. This situation favored a change
to double cropping with three to five supplemental irrigations for second crop
during post rainy season. 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.....","2011","published",,,,,"International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics ","Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh India",,"76",,,,,,,"International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics ","Resilient Dryland Systems",,,,,,,,,,"",,"http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Impact+Assessment+Report+Drought+Prone+Area+Programme+%28DPAP%29+DPAP-Batch+I+Medak+District%2C+Andhra+Pradesh%22&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_yl","author",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
