Because of climate change/ variation, the rainfall pattern became erratic leading farmer's dependence on the underground water and the drilling deeper and deeper, has been resorted by all. This is also very much true in some drought facing states. In Maharashtra, the in-situ rain water conservation measures udertaken by the Government with effective people participation proved to yield good results. Moreover, utilization of water through micro irrigation systems (drip, sprinkler and micro sprinkler) could save 50 to 60 percent water; with higher productivity and better quaity than the conventional surface irrigation. The regulations, although enacted seem to be ineffective. 2. Few rainfall events a ease the situation in California. However, this is the tie the administration shuld concentrate on precise planning and speedy implementation of the Watershed management program for in-situ conservation of rain water on entire land and series of (suitable size)water storage structures on DRAINAGE LINES.
