Abstract
The study was undertaken in Kinathukadavu block of Coimbatore district. A Comparative study of three irrigation systems namely ground water, canal and ground water, canal irrigation system and the dry land was made covering the major crops of coconut, tomato, cowpea and black gram respectively. Sustainability of irrigation regimes was analyzed using farm level indicators and sustainable rural livelihood framework analysis.Net income was higher for tomato and coconut with 170978 and 122972. Technical efficiency was highest for canal and ground water irrigation system and canal irrigated farms has the lowest technical efficiency. Nine per cent of canal irrigated farmers are short of optimum yield and hence the yield of farmers can be increased by adopting the recommended technology. Sustainability status using farm level indicators revealed that the sustainability was high for canal and ground water and ground water irrigation system.
