This document summarizes a project aimed at enhancing productivity of degraded land and water resources in coastal regions through integrated approaches. Key activities included land shaping, pond excavation, crop diversification, integrated nutrient management, and farmer training. Baseline surveys assessed initial soil and water quality across 3 villages. Monitoring found that land shaping and pond excavation reduced soil salinity and improved drainage. Crop diversification increased household incomes, employment, and nutritional levels. Training programs empowered over 800 farmers in topics such as vermicomposting, livestock health, and fish cultivation. The project developed environmental and social frameworks to maximize benefits and mitigate negative impacts.

23. Environmental framework developed and implemented
Positive benefits Negative effects Mitigation measures
Reduction of land for
crop cultivation due to
land shaping
Harvested rain water helped alternate
use of land for pisciculture and
brought additional area under
cultivation and improve quality of
degraded soil and water.
Improved water
quality due to
rainwater harvesting
Displacement of
fertile top soil
The top soil reinstated by keeping it
aside while making the land shaping;
suitable management practices
undertaken to improve fertility of top
soil.
24. Environmental framework developed and implementd
Positive
benefits
Negative
effects
Mitigation
measures
Affecting soil health for
introducing HYVs, crop
diversification
Use of INM and IPM
practices.
Stress on water due to
change in cropping
patterns
Rain water harvesting
ensures additional good
quality irrigation water for
minimizing stress
Less animal diseases for good
health care and improved
feed
25. Social framework developed and implemented
Positive
benefits
Negative
effects
Mitigation
measures
Improving productivity through land shaping,
creating WHSs, proper land management etc.
High cost involved
in land shaping and
also loss of arable
land into low lying
area.
The profitability of
growing crops to cover
the cost including initial
investment would be
ensured through
selection of high value
and low water requiring
crops.
Enhancement of income through
introduction of HYV, crop diversification,
fish farming (fresh & brackish water), paddy
cum fish culture, improvement of health care
and feed of livestock
