Volume : III, Issue : I, February - 2013 IMPACT OF WATER RESOURCES UTILIZATION AND CROPPING PATTERN IN SHRIGONDA TAHSIL, AHMEDNAGAR, MAHARASHTRA: A CASE STUDY A.P.PANDIT AND A.B. AHER Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Irrigation has become an important aspect of agriculture. Recently irrigation
becomes most essential and without it most crops cannot be grown. It becomes essential
part due to variation of monsoon and uneven distribution of rainfall throughout the year.
Even those crops, which are grown during rainy season, also depend upon irrigation
because farmers try to irrigate the crops in time so that crops might be ready in time and
give higher yield. In case of failure of rainfall use of irrigation becomes much more
essential areas growing multiple crops need intensive irrigation facilities. In present
study Shrigonda tahsil was selected as a study area which came under rain shadow and
semi arid region. The irrigation water resource availability and management practices
were consider from study area in relation with a cropping pattern during 1961 to 2001.
Mostly the irrigation practices increases chronologically with change in land use and
cropping pattern i.e. semi arid crop to cash crop which significantly increased up to
23% and increase in surface water irrigation facilities by 28%. The monsoon pattern
mostly influencing the land use and cropping pattern. The scarcity and availability of
water resources influenced the ground water utilization rate. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : A.P.PANDIT AND A.B. AHER, (2013).
