What to Do? Conserve soil and water through Good Agricultural Practices. Harvest rain water through construction of check dams and ponds. Adopt crop diversification, seed production and nursery raising in water logged areas. Adopt drip and sprinkler irrigation system to save 30-37% water and enhance crop quality and productivity.
