3 Major Challenges Drought ( Frequent Dry spells above 20 days) Annual Rainfall 410 mm One Crop Onion or Sorghum Eight months farmers migrate to urban area for job

4 Natural Resources Management Community Ponds

5 Community Pond 1 Out come Capacity 12 lakhs CFT Present storage 4lakhsCFT Water table increased 39 wells by 8 to 12 ft 27 acres onion Grown

6 Community Pond -2 AayiramKuttai Capacity 12 lakhs CFT Present storage 8lakhsCFT 43 acres onion grown

7 Natural Resources Management Individual farm ponds

8 Conventional temporary water storage pond

9 Polythene sheet lined water storage tank Pond formation by farmer ( Rs.12,000) Plastic lining by NICRA scheme ( Rs.14,000)

10 Stocking fingerlings in temporary water storage pond

11 Temporary water storage ponds Plastic lining - Outcome Crops cultivated before NICRA Crops cultivated after NICRA Pond area (L X B X H) Area irrigated Onion, Sorghum 30 cents / day = 2.1 acres Turmeric, Onion, Snake gourd & Ridge gourd 70x60X6 feet (1,10,000 lts) 40 cents /day = 2.8 acres
