Farm Land Development & Water Conservation

Most yield problems on a new holding are drainage and levelling problems, not input problems. Srivena carries out land development and soil and water conservation works so the field holds water where it should and sheds it where it should not.

Scope of work

  • Land levelling, grading, contouring, bunding, terracing and reclamation
  • Drainage, irrigation development, farm ponds, wells and pipelines
  • Fencing, farm roads, pumping systems and electrical infrastructure
  • Farm development projects for landowners, institutions and Government bodies

Works undertaken

Executed with survey, layout and machine deployment sized to the plot.

  • Land clearing, levelling and laser levelling
  • Contour bunding, graded bunds and contour trenching
  • Farm ponds, percolation tanks, recharge pits and check structures
  • Surface and subsurface drainage on waterlogged and saline patches
  • Internal roads, culverts, fencing and gates
  • Soil amendment for saline, sodic and acidic soils

Water security first

On rainfed and drought-prone holdings, storage and recharge works usually return more than any input purchased in the same season. We survey the slope and drainage line before recommending the structure.

Frequently asked questions

Is a farm pond worth it?
On rainfed land where a protective irrigation at flowering would save the crop, generally yes. Sizing depends on catchment, rainfall and intended use, and the site must actually hold water; a percolation-heavy site may need lining.
Does laser levelling save water?
Precise levelling improves irrigation uniformity and reduces the water needed to cover a flood-irrigated field, along with more even germination. The saving depends on the initial unevenness of the plot.
Is Government assistance available for these works?
Several land development, water conservation and horticulture works are supported through State departments and rural employment schemes. Eligibility and rates are decided by the implementing department.
