on an average in the range of 3 to 10 feet during the SW monsoon rainy season&#13;
and water availability is extended by about two months in the dry season during&#13;
summer. Farmers mentioned that period of water availability in wells for&#13;
irrigation extended from January/February before the DPAP initiative to end of&#13;
March/April after the watershed development. This situation favored a change&#13;
to double cropping with three to five supplemental irrigations for second crop&#13;
during post rainy season. All this impact was felt by the beneficiaries because of&#13;
good quality soil and water conservation structures at right location developed&#13;
through this project. Commendable efforts by the project managers, staff, as well&#13;
as WC were responsible for these positive impacts in these watersheds.....</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2011</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics </mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Monograph</mods:genre></mods:mods>
