2. INTRODUCTION
We are working on a project called “Implementation of drip
irrigation to overcome the high water absorbing capacity of
soil” mainly to solve the problem of irrigation due to scarcity
of water resources.
The location of the site is bundelkhand which is located
between the Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
We shall eliminate the problem of irrigation in bundelkhand
region and to overcome high water absorbing capacity of soil
by providing a drip irrigation technique.

3. OBJECTIVE
To study the water absorbing capacity of soil in
Bundelkhand.
To study the condition of irrigation system in
Bundelkhand.
To analysis the soil of bundelkhand by different test.
To study the rainfall data of bundelkhand region.
To explain the feasibility of drip irrigation technique in
atmospheric condition of Bundelkhand

4. PROBLEM DEFINATION
Scarcity of water resources in bundelkhand region.
Since 2007 Bundelkhand region have facing problem of drought.
Normal rainy days in Bundelkhand is 52 days (metrological
department of India) but last six years its restricted 24 days.
In Bundelkhand region, average level of rainfall is 800–900 mm. But
last six years Bundelkhand received only 400–450 mm.
Extreme variations in the rainfall pattern are observed with over 90%
of the rainfall occurring between June to September and non-monsoon
period of 8 months practically getting short spells of scanty rainfall of
less than 10%.
Decrement in agriculture production.

5. FUTURE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
Conservation of water resources in bundelkhand.
Fertilizer and nutrient loss is minimized due to localized
application and reduced leaching.
Water application efficiency is high if managed correctly.
Moisture within the root zone can be maintained at field
capacity.
Labour cost is less than other irrigation methods.
Soil erosion is lessened.
Foliage remains dry, reducing the risk of disease.

6. COMPARISON BETWEEN DRIP METHOD AND FLOOD METHOD
BASIS DRIP METHOD FLOOD METHOD
Water saving
High, between 40 and 100 % Less. High rates of evaporation, surface
run off and percolation
Irrigation efficiency 80 – 90 % 30 - 50 %
Weed problem Almost nil High
Suitable water Even saline water can be used Only normal water can be used
Diseases and pests Relatively less High
Efficiency of fertilizer use Very high since supply is regulated Heavy losses due to leaching

7. COMPARISON BETWEEN DRIP METHOD AND FLOOD METHOD
BASIS DRIP METHOD FLOOD METHOD
Water logging Nil High
Water control
Can be regulated easily Not much control
Cost benefit ratio (additional amount
in rupees for every rupee invested)
Excluding water savings: 1.3 - 13.3,
Including water savings: 2.8 - 30.0
Between 1.8 and 3.9
Capital cost/ha Rs 15,000 to 40, 000
depending ––
on crop spacing
Yield increase 20 - 100 % higher than flood method Less compared to drip

13. CHART OF RAINFALL DATA

14. SOIL ANALYSIS
Water content of soil sample.
Void ratio of a soil sample.
Field capacity of soil sample.

15. RESULT AND CONCLUSION
By virtue of test performed we come to know some
significant result that if we incorporate drip irrigation in
place of natural irrigation we require lesser quantity of
water with effective depth of irrigation with low seepage
loss.
Water content of bundelkhand soil = 24.3%
Void ratio of bundelkhand soil = 0.9
Field capacity of bundelkhand soil = 91%
