Reconciling changing cropping pattern and Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP): A study

— Analyzing the land use pattern of India, offers more interesting and fascinating facts about its usage. Out of the India’s total geographic area of 329 million hectares, only 306 million hectares has been classified and surveyed so far, which accounts for 93%. The remaining 7% of the geographic area is yet to be surveyed as it includes deep oceans, inaccessible mountains, deserts, and impenetrable forests. Out of the total reporting land [306 million hectare], the land which is used for agricultural purpose i.e. for growing food grains and orchards is just 141 million hectare, which accounts for just 46%. This is known as ‘Net Sown Area’. Hence only about 141 million hectare of the total reporting land is used for agriculture purpose, only once in a year [agricultural year]. A portion of this net sown area is used for cultivation more than once in a year [agricultural year]. This is known as ‘Area Sown more than once’. Hence out of 141 million hectare, 49 million hectare is used for cultivation more than once. The ‘Net Sown Area’ and ‘Area Sown More than Once’ put together represents total cropped area, which is 190 million hectare, which accounts for 62% of the total reporting area. India stands 7th in the world in terms of total geographic area but stands 2nd in terms of cultivated land. U S A stands 1st in terms of cultivated land. The area sown more than once has increased significantly during the last seven decades. It was just 14 million hectare during 1950’s, but now 49 million hectare of land is used for cultivation more than once a year. Several factors are responsible for this increase but, one factor which plays predominant role in increasing the usage of area sown more than once is, Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM). This paper attempts to reconcile effective implementation of Integrated Water Resource Management Program and
