Abstract
Good management of rainwater begins where the rain falls on the land, i.e. where feasible, improved in situ water conservation and use should be explored first; it involves all farming systems' components, from ploughing of the land to the harvest of the crop. ICRISAT data illustrate that such an approach for example on deep Vertisols with medium rainfall might result in a three to five-fold productivity increase. Land development for better water utilisation is most effectively executed on the basis of watersheds and Frequently requires participation of several farmers. Operation and maintenance of improved resource management systems necessitates adaptation and development of organizational and administrative structures.
