The study was conducted on rainwater conservation measures with two-tier system during 2008-2009 to 2012-13 in saline tract of Purna river valley located in the Amravati. The main objective was to increase the productivity, profitability and water use efficiency through suitable double cropping system. In double cropping system of greengram-chickpea, greengram gave significantly higher yield of 8.75 qha-1 under two-tier system of rain water management (RWM) i.e. contour cultivation with protective irrigation over the yield recorded in other system of rain water management. Chickpea grown after greengram under two-tier system (TTS) of gave significantly higher yield of 21.22 qha-1 in comparison to other moisture management practices. TTS recorded significantly higher yield of 21.22 qha-1 over other rain water management practices . TTS recorded significantly higher yield of 23.45 qha-1 as compared with yield recorded in mono tier system (contour and across the slope cultivation) and conventional system of RWM. Chickpea yield of RWM after harvesting of soybean which was significantly superior over other practices of soil moisture management. The significantly higher chickpea equivalent yield of 3967.89 kgha-1 was found in soybean–chickpea cropping system compare with the chickpea equivalent yield of 3427.87 kgha-1 recorded in green gram –chickpea cropping system under two-tier system of RWM. The higher net returns of ` 79040 per ha was found in soybean-chickpea cropping system and the lowest net return of `11736 was found in greengram –safflower cropping system under mono-tier system. Double cropping system of green gram-chickpea and soybean-chickpea observed statistically at par in B:C ratio.
