Abstract

Water is a prime resource for the survival of all living organism. It does not have a substitute in its main use. It is an indispensible, finite, and valuable resource. Its shortage is one of the most pressing issues posting challenges to the world. It is a known fact that it will be difficult to ensure stable supply of water for drinking and food production for an estimated population of about eight billion people in 2018, the watershed technology show that the farmers even after acquiring knowledge and skills through watershed programmes, many of them do not put them into practice. There is always a gap between the knowledge acquired and the practice of it. Some farmers put the knowledge to full use, while some others use it only partially and some of them do not use it at all. An attempt has been made in the present study to analyse the adoption of watershed technology by farmers in the district. Here, adoption refers to continued use of new technique or method.  It is operationally defined in the present study as farmers’ acceptance leading to continued practices of the watershed technology. The study were used discriminating analysis for adoption of farmers on watershed technology.
