| dc.description.abstract | waterlogging was evaluated for viability using discounted eashllow techniques such as Benefit-Cost Ratio, Net Present Worth and Internal Rate of Return. The subsurface drainage was found to be technically feasible and financially viable as demonstrated by calculated IRR, BCR, and NPW. They opined that in the absence of an appropriate organizational setup, the technology could not be widely adopted. Ajorc and Singh (1997) in their study on reclamation of alkali soils in U.P. identified constraints in adoption of land reclamation technology. Majority of the farmers were not aware of the full package of reclamation technology. Lack of irrigation facilities, fragmented holdings, inadequate supply of gypsum and fear of more recovery on subsidy were major constraints. From the above studies, it can be abstracted that reclamation technology adopted individually by the farmers and reclamation programmes implemented by the government had positive impact on productivity, income and employment. There was substantial increase in gross cropped area. The technology was economically worthwhile as demonstrated by the benefit cost analysis. Most of these studies addressed problems relating to alkali soils. Soil degradation due to salinity and waterlogging have not been dealt adequately | en_US |
