6.1.5 Crops<br />
Agriculture primarily depends upon water; but this is what is lacking in Mahiyari Project. The surface water is scanty due to average or high<br />
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 bunds would prevent<br />
the saline water from the Sea <strong>of</strong> Arb Sagar to mix with the sweet rain water and also help percolate sweet water underground, and preserve<br />
some moisture in the soil. This will help in additional area coming under cultivation and increasing productivity too. The farmers can take more<br />
than one season <strong>of</strong> crops. Different varieties <strong>of</strong> crops can be taken.<br />
