ABSTRACT
Case study is based on farmers actual practices in own field without any scientific knowledge. Benefit:Cost and Water productivity (WP) analysis in this studied. In this study we investigate costs benefits and WP associated with adaptation approaches employed by farmers with MIS and traditional irrigation method expressing in monetary term and identify the most effective and economic crop and crop combination based on general information and responses of farmers. Study area is Kodinar and nearby taluka which is located in the western part of Gujarat. As a result water productivity ranges between 16.76-0.63 kg/m3, 79-32 `/m3 and 6.4-0.35 kg/m3, 28-13 `/m3 in MIS and without MIS respectively. B:C ratio ranges between 4.67-1.122 in single crop and 4-2.27 in combination of two or more crop.
Key words :
B:C ratio, MCWP, MIS, NCWP, Water productivity.
