Drought Management Startegies in India
The frequency and severity of extreme weather events like droughts, floods, hailstorm, cold and heat wave, thunderstorms, cyclones and Tsunamis have markedly increased
in the Asian Sub-continent during the past 15 years. On an average 57% geographical area of India is vulnerable to earthquakes, 28% to droughts, 12% to floods and 8% to cyclones.
A great deal of variation in the Drought Vulnerability Index (persons killed per million exposed) of 0.04 for Europe, 0.58 for India, 84.4 for Asia
and Pacific and 796.8 for Africa was observed for the period 1980-2000.(Click

Technological Options for Improved Agriculture in Tsunami affected Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Maldives
Following devasting Tsunami of 26 December 2004, this institute in association with
Central Agricultural Research Institute, Port Blair and Action Aid International undertook Rapid
appraisal to know the current status of land and water degradation and suggest cost-effective
Technological interventions to improve agriculturaly dependent livelihood options. This report highlights these interventions
for improved sustainable agriculture, a step above the pre-tsunami scenario.(Click

Reversing
Groundwater Decline in the Trans Indo-Gangetic
Plain: Structural and Policy Options
In the Trans
Indo-Gangetic Plain, which earlier supported
crops like maize, cotton and sorghum during
kharif season and wheat during rabi season,
introduction of rice crop was largely a
consequence of waterlogging in canal irrigated
areas and development of intensive network
of shallow tubewell technology. The average
productivity of rice-wheat sequence in this
part is quite impressive against the average
in the IGP. However, these significant gains
are over-shadowed by the emerging sustainability
issue of declining groundwater and adverse
salt and water balance problems on regional
scale. The problem of groundwater decline
is mainly concern in the areas where groundwater
quality is either good or marginal.
