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.
