<strong>IWMP</strong>-1 (Kadegi)<br />
6.1.5 Crops<br />
Agriculture primarily depends upon water; but this is what is lacking in Kadegi Project. The surface water is scanty due<br />
to average or high rainfall and ground water is saline, which is unfit for crop production.<br />
All this can change with the integrated land and water management during the watershed project. The planned earthen<br />
bunds would prevent the saline water from the Sea <strong>of</strong> Arb sagar to mix with the sweet rain water and also help percolate sweet<br />
water underground, and preserve some moisture in the soil. This will help in additional area coming under cultivation and<br />
increasing productivity too. The farmers can take more than one season <strong>of</strong> crops. Different varieties <strong>of</strong> crops can be taken.<br />
