This paper discusses the results from on-farm community watersheds through groundwater management as the drivers for sustainable management of watersheds dry land areas. The issues of sustainable development and management of the groundwater resource through integrated watershed management (IWM) approach are also dealt relative to food production and security.

Farmers cultivating sugarcane are facing multiple problems. Water is one of the major constraints and it is affecting the productivity and profi tability of sugarcane growers and millers.
