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..... publisher: International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics date: 2011 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/5907/1/IAR_DPAP-I_Medak_2011.pdf identifier: ICRISAT, - (2011) Impact Assessment Report Drought Prone Area Programme (DPAP) DPAP-Batch I Medak District, Andhra Pradesh.
