Analysis of constraints on the adoption of management practices for water conservation in Haryana
Journal Title: Environment Conservation Journal - Year 2024, Vol 25, Issue 3
Abstract
The current investigation took place in five districts of Haryana, India, namely, Ambala, Kaithal, Karnal, Kurukshetra, and Yamunanagar. The primary objective was to understand the challenges confronted by farmers in adopting water conservation management practices. The findings presented in this paper stem from a field survey conducted during the 2020–21 period involving 150 respondents. These participants were interviewed using a well-structured and pretested interview schedule. The analysis of the collected data was performed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) tool. The results indicate that a majority of respondents identified financial constraints (WMS 2.45) and infrastructure constraints (WMS 2.39) as highly serious, while constraints related to manpower (WMS 2.15) and awareness were considered comparatively less serious (WMS 2.03). The study's conclusion highlights that most respondents perceive these constraints as significant, underscoring the urgent need to motivate and encourage farmers to embrace effective management practices. Additionally, the study emphasizes the necessity for a water policy to ensure its proper utilization.
