Abstract

Adoption of certain tank management practices was a part of the culture in semi-arid regions to ensure tank\u2019s sustainability. However, gradual neglect has led to a decline in its role in local economy and ecology and therefore caused consequent hardships to all stakeholders concerned. With aid of external agencies, community has removed 74,000m2 of silt from 12 tanks in Warangal district, mid Godavari basin of Andhra Pradesh. Its impacts were monitored before and after intervention in kharif and rabi seasons. Estimated benefits both tangible and intangible, suggest that tank rejuvenation makes economic sense and must be adopted on a larger scale.
