| The equity issues concerning soil degradation and soil reclamation have been analysed for Tungabhadra Project Area of the Karnataka state. The study is based on primary data obtained from 325 respondent farmers. The data gathered by survey method have been analysed using conventional and simple tabular method of analysis, Gini ratio, and Lorenz curve. The study has revealed that the small and marginal farmers are worst affected by soil degradation. The large farmers have also experienced the brunt of soil degradation but the effect has been marginal since they have alternative sources of livelihood. The study has further indicated that the extent of inequity is higher on degraded than normal soils. However, this can be reduced to a great extent by... |

| The study has reported the impact of public interventions for amelioration of soil degradation through subsurface drainage technology in the Tungabhadra Project area in Karnataka. The primary data, obtained from 105 farmers of TBP area, have been analysed using budgeting, discounted cash flow measures and gini ratio. The provision of subsurface drainage through public interventions, has increased the productivity of land appreciably (166 per cent) and has provided a source of regular income (Rs 13,636/ha from paddy) to resource-poor households. The technology has been found to be cost effective, socially acceptable and economically feasible. The equity analysis has indicated reduction in inequalities in income distribution during the post-drainage period.... |

| The economic feasibility of land reclamation technologies adopted by the farmers of Tungbhadra Command Area in Karnatka for amelioraion of irrigation-induced soil degradation has been studied. The data have been analysed using tabular method and partial budgeting method. It has been found that the available technologies are not being spread effectively among the affected farm households. Amongst different technologies followed by the farmers, adoption of leaching has been found least costly and could result in an incremental output of 14 quintals per hectare on saline soils of both head- and mid-regions. Green manuring has been observed to be another effective technology and could enhance crop yields on saline as well as waterlogged soils. Partial... |
