7.0 Conclusion :<br />

The rain water harvesting through community<br />

managed system at Dedag watershed has benefitted<br />

the farmers of Sanio and Dedag villages by providing<br />

water for irrigating and other domestic purposes.<br />

The availability of water has increased the<br />

productivity of crops and in turn better monetary<br />

returns. The economic gains have made the farmers<br />

more comfortable and confident .The women<br />

empowerment can be seen in the watershed as<br />

women are involved at every stage of development<br />

and their opinion is given due importance. Reduction<br />

in women drudgery is another out come of the<br />

project. The weaker sections have also been<br />

involved in the watershed and they have been<br />

provided employment opportunities in the watershed.<br />
