Abstract
Historically, thanks formed the primary
sources of minor irrigation in Telangana. However, in the recent past, the
minor irrigation under the tank received a setback for various reasons. The
tanks are vital to irrigation and the local ecosystem in the study area. The
problem is so severe that it has become a concern for researchers and the
government to study and evaluate the situation to take remedial measures.
Meanwhile, the tank provides multiple uses, such as drinking water sources for
the countless rural and urban communities, livestock, fish culture, recharge of
groundwater, control of floods, etc. However, after independence, the
significant sources of tank irrigation have directly decreased due to several
socio-economic and institutional factors. The study finds that out of 150
sample respondents, 21.5 per cent are between the ages of 51 and 60 in the
study area. Of the 150 sample respondents, 77% are males. The majority of
sample respondents, 56%, are literate. Nearly 91% of respondents are married.
Almost 67% of farmers are small and marginal. More than 58% of respondents
practise farming and cultivation. Among 150 sample respondents, 77.6% use
tractors for cultivation. 64% of the sample respondents earn rupees below 20000
annually.
