Abstract
Supplementary irrigation is a customizable complementary water
management system which enables the farmers to control the amount and
timing of irrigation in rainfed agricultural areas without large scale irrigation
infrastructure. It diversifies crop management options (more and higher
value-added crop choices, harvest scheduling, intercropping possibilities
etc.) available for farmers significantly by enabling individual control on water
use, flattening water availability for irrigation and reducing crop failure risk
due to drought. Optimizing water usage and using rainwater harvesting it
improves resilience of farmers to water related shocks.
