Let the area of the field = 20m × 10m = 200 meter square
Let average rainfall of the area = 1000mm = 100cm = 1m
Hence, Volume of water = 1m × 200 meter square = 200 cubic meter
ii. Restricting and strengthening the canal network system and reducing the
conveyance losses.
iii. Adopting rotational water supply system, so that water can be made available
at every field of the tail end.

2. Water availability to each field in watershed area.
1.The first effort is to retain as much rain water in the soil on which it falls,
so as to provide favorable moisture regimes to the crop by construction of
percolation tanks, farm ponds etc.
2.Harvesting and storing of run off water in small tanks nearby, when the
rain exceeds the storage capacity of soil.

• To develop suitable technology for removing excess rain water accumulation
in low lands with special reference to surface and sub-surface drainage to
increase rice productivity and making the land reclaimed for agricultural
production
Either excess or deficit amount of water adversely effects the crop productivity.
Hence, design of graded bund around the cultivated rice field is one of the most
economical methods for excess rain water management in the field itself in view
of conserving soil moisture in case of long dry spells for sure and sustainable
rice production.
The earthen ( excavated) structure preferably trapezoidal in shape may be
constructed at down stream end of each bunded field. Its internal capacity will
be approximately equal to the expected runoff that would the collected from the
bunded area and will be calculated by using Rational formula or any other
suitable method applicable as per availability of hydrological data. The
dimension of proposed earthen tank will depend on the expected runoff
produced from the bunded fields.
Water Management for Low Lands/ Waterlogging Situations:
1. Water logging occurs, when there is too much water in the plants root zone, which
results in the roots not being able to access enough oxygen for respiration. Water
logging, when it occurs is a major constraint to production. Plant growth is
effected and under certain conditions will even lead to premature plant growth.
2. Drainage is usually the best way of reducing water logging. If the environment of
low land is favorable for channelizing confined water fully or partly by engineering
methods, leading to reclamation of water logged area and increase of cropping
intensity. Suitable agronomic practices can increase productivity in low lands. In
case the confined water cannot be channelized then further help in fish culture,
which can add to sustainable income of farmers.
