Recalmation of Water Logged Areas
Reclamation of water logged Areas Water logged areas can be reclaimed by following certain techniques. 1. Proper Drainage System Farmers should have adequate surface drainage facilities to remove excess water from their fields. The surface runoff and subsoil drainage of water should not be so slow. During rainy season efforts should be made not to retain water on soil surface. 2. Using Tube Wells A tube well is an ideal device to lower the level of water in water logged areas. Tube wells have the capability to draw out of the earth large quantities of water continuously. It is a good technique to reclaim water logged areas by installing tube wells. 3. Lining of Canals In order to minimize water logging, concrete lining of canals and other water channels should be done. It will be helpful not only in controlling water logging but also in saving useful irrigation water. 4. Water Management Farmers should be educated about water management. Use of excessive irrigation water for cultivation of certain crops should be avoided. Modern irrigation techniques like drip irrigation should be adopted. 5. Tolerant Crops Crops like rice, oats, etc should be preferred in water logged areas. Because rice require more moisture for its growth. 6. Tolerant Trees Trees like Eucalyptus, willows, etc should be planted in water logged areas because of its high moisture requirement. |
