A study was undertaken in the tail end command of Western Yamuna Canal Command (WYCC) in Jhajjar district, Haryana,to assess the socio-economic status and coping strategies adopted by farmers under waterlogging and saline environments. Perception on water management and control of problem of waterlogging and salinity of 100 selected farmers is reported in this study. About 85 to 100 per cent of the respondents strongly endorsed that the poor maintenance of irrigation channels, canal siltation and weed growth, seepage from the distributaries and minors and irregular supply of canal water were the major factors responsible for waterlogging and subsequent land degradation in the command area. In all, 85 per cent of the respondents opined about non-existence of any scheme by the government agencies for maintenance of field channels. As coping strategies, farmers manage the problem by cleaning field irrigation channels, creation of open ditch drains, controlled irrigation methods and increasing the seed rate besides green manuring with varying degrees of success. Farmers of the study area also expressed the need for knowledge dissemination mechanism with technology details, funding opportunities and effective and efficient functioning of water user associations besides involvement of all farmers to enhance productivity from irrigated saline environment.Full Text

In India, conventional surface irrigation methods to pressurized irrigation systems are in use. Pressurized irrigation including micro irrigation, sprinkler irrigation system as well as raingun are among the efficient irrigation techniques which may achieve field level application efficiency in the range of 60-95 per cent. These have vast potential and suitable for almost all field crops like wheat, gram, pulses, vegetables, cotton, soya bean, tea, coffee, and other fodder crops. The information on soil water content and wetted depth of wetted zone as well as duration of water application has importance towards uniformity and performance of irrigation system. The water content in geometry of soil wetted zone has importance in irrigation management to deliver required amount of water and nutrients to the plants to realize enhanced crop yield. Estimation of water content of wetted zone soil based on simplified geometry will serve purpose for most of field conditions and also reduces complexities encountered in numerical and analytical methods. A model based on simplified geometry and water volume balance was developed to simulate soil water content, wetting depths and duration of water application through sprinkler and raingun irrigation system. The geometry of wetted soil depth resulting from uniform and non-uniform water application through sprinkler and raingun was considered. With uniform water application the soil wetted zone could take shape of cylinder. However, with non-uniform water application, depth of wetted soil volume reduces towards the periphery of the wetted soil, that may be assumed as curved shape of ellipsoid or parabolic shape. Water volume balance method was considered in wetted geometry to develop model to estimate change in soil water content.Keywords
