Efforts to be made in the agricultural sector for the water conservation:
1. The farmer should collect water in his farm by constructing Kacha or bricked tank, and should apply rain water harvesting techniques as:
- Seeping water directly into underground reservoir or
- Percolating water collected in the trenches, into the ground or
- By piping it into wells or
- Pushing water into the tubewells with filters fixed atop, through pipes.
- Collecting the rooftop or farm rain water directly in the tanks.
2. He should grow the crops needing less of water, depending upon the situation in the state.
3. The cash crops like wheat, rice, sugarcane etc. need more water. The farmer should avoid growing them so far as possible in the areas with less water and should replace them by growing crops needing less of water to grow.
4. He should use Sprinkle and Drip irrigation systems.
5. As far as possible he should experiment the new research techniques in his farm to better the agricultural production with judicious use of water.
