Ananthapuramu is one <strong>of</strong> the rain shadow regions <strong>of</strong> Rayalaseema in Andhra Pradesh with<br />

normal annual rainfall <strong>of</strong> 552 mm. The climate is characterized with low/ intermittent/uneven<br />

rainfall, which leads to decline in productivity <strong>of</strong> rainfed crops. Climate resilient technologies<br />

viz., checkdams will store the harvested rain water, increase groundwater availability and also<br />

prevent soil erosion (Bhargav and Tank, 2011). Checkdams control rain water run<strong>of</strong>f, rain<br />

water percolates down to the underground aquifers. Recharged aquifers will ensure ground<br />

water recharge in open wells and bore wells and create considerable opportunities to bring<br />

additional area under cultivation, increase the productivity and pr<strong>of</strong>itability <strong>of</strong> small and<br />

marginal farm holdings.<br />
