e) Contribution to the scientific advancement :
(In about five bullets)
Rainfall runoff relationship was worked out at mid hill condition using meteorological and runoff data of Hawalbagh farm. Appropriate catchments size was computed for in- situ runoff water harvesting. Runoff water harvesting technology has been developed and implemented at institute Farm Hawalbagh VPKAS Almora. Technique have been identified to recycle runoff, into hydrological cycle and enhance production and income from rain fed farming by 50 to 400 per cent through appropriate land modification and reduced erosion ( 100 % runoff and
silt trap except in heavy storms) , and provide opportunity for crop diversification ( four crops in a year) and recharge of shallow subsurface aquifers .
Irrigation schedules were developed for various crops under situation of limited and sufficient water supply. Irrigation and nutrient interaction was worked out. Existing irrigation system; its problems and potential has been studied and identified intervention for the major problems.
Artificial recharging techniques has been developed for shallow aquifers (water springs) of hill
areas. The mean water yield increased annually by 150 % (580 m3 ) which can irrigate 0.9 ha
extra land if harvested in tanks.
Better combination of tillage ( zero and conventional ) and irrigation ( four levels ) showed
that higher yield of rice and wheat was recorded after four and nine years respectively in zero
tillage and mean extra net income of Rs. seven thousand from one hectare land in comparison
to conventional tillage . It has also been concluded that the four irrigation and three irrigation
did not differ much in yield .So three irrigations under limited and four under sufficient supply
of water is better option for direct seeded rice and wheat crop. There was improvement in
pysico-chemical properties of soils under zero tillage plots in comparison to conventional
tillage.
Rainfall runoff relationship was worked out and decided appropriate catchments size for in-
situ/ex-situ runoff water harvesting. Runoff water harvesting technology implemented
experimental farm and developed micro-water resource farmer’s field.
Development, refinement and popularization of small units of drip system at farmers field.
Developed low cost and local material for protecting LDPE lining in tanks.
Irrigation schedules developed for various crops under different water availability condition.
Developed resource Conservation technology.
Vermicompsting technology refined to ensure easily and extensively adoption
Spring recharging techniques have been developed and implemented at VPKAS farm. Water
discharge enhanced from 0.5 to 5.0 liter /minute. The mean water yield increased annually by
150 % (580 m3
) which can irrigate 0.9 ha extra land if harvested in tanks.
Low tunnels were designed and for successful nursery raising.
Crop water requirements of different crops/Uttarakhand were computed with the help of
CROPWAT
A village selected under NMSHE project and climate resilent and other technologies developed
by ICAR-VPKAS Almora demonstrated
A soils map of hawalbagh and watershed was drafted based on field studies .
The techniques for establishment of horticultural plants in areas having salinity problem along
with saline ground water was successfully established.
Gul analyzed for water availability and water demand gap and various problems were
identified and there solution was evolved
A Watershed was selected, delineated for present land use, LCC ,soil and vegetation and other
resource map.
Established a meteorological observatory and help in Gauging stations establishment.
Various technologies such as improved varieties, grasses horticultural plantation especially
introduction of Kiwi was a successful done.
Low tunnels of various sizes were designed and developed by using white polythene and locally available bamboo and other material for successful nursery raising in hilly areas. Semicircular low tunnels of 5.0 x 1.0 x 0.5 m were found suitable for raising nursery in hilly region.
• 3. Future Planning of research (in bullets) :
• In-situ conservation of rainfall, recharging and rejuvenation of water bodies, water harvesting,
and their most efficient application and utilization.
• On farm development of micro – water resource along with multiple use technology package
and impact analysis. The target is to insure livelihood of hill farmers with limited resources
using a package of technologies.
• On farm dissemination and refinement of water harvesting and related production
technologies.
