The relative importance of water towards food production as well as human survival cannot be changed very easily, although reduced and balanced. A huge interest of researchers and policy makers in vested in studying the sustainable use of water and ensure its economical utilization in agriculture and food sector. For the purpose of prioritization of water conservation practices in study area an open ended schedule was developed. In the preliminary survey the respondents were asked to list out the water conservation practices in the study area. A final screening and sorting out of the water conservation practices were undertaken depending on their frequency of occurrence. The prioritization of water conservation practices was done by using Garret ranking method in which the water conservation practices like “Lifesaving irrigation from water harvesting structure” was given first rank and garret score was 81.14 in Bikaner district as well as in Sonipat and Hisar district “Lifesaving irrigation if available” was given first rank and garret score was 86.18. It would be a useful tool for increasing water use efficiency for crop production, which could be achieved by educating the farmers about the negative consequences of high consumptive water use.
