Conclusions<br />

Farm pond is a farmer friendly option for rainwater harvesting toprovide life-saving irrigation<br />

to standing crops when theyare exposed to mid-term/terminal drought and also forpre-sowing<br />

irrigation in post-rainy crops in rainfed areas.The application <strong>of</strong> supplemental irrigation<br />

resulted in increased yield, WUE and B-C ratio in both kharif and rabi crops.<br />

Rice is one <strong>of</strong> the predominant cereal crops in the north-eastern part <strong>of</strong> India and is grown in<br />

majority <strong>of</strong> the area <strong>of</strong> Assam. In Assam, rice occupies about two-third <strong>of</strong> the total cropped<br />

area in the state. The Lakhimpur district is located in the north eastern part <strong>of</strong> Assam and agroclimatically<br />

lies in the north <strong>of</strong> river Brahmaputra. The average rainfall in this region is 2949<br />

mm. The region is also called as district <strong>of</strong> rivers due to presence <strong>of</strong> turbulent rivers and<br />
