Impact Assessment of soil and water conservation (SWC) measures undertaken at Mandakhali watershed, Parbhani District, Maharashtra. It was carried out during 2017-18to study effect of SWC measures on irrigation potential and crop productivity. Different SWC measures undertaken at Mandakhali watershed were graded bunds, continuous contour trenches, cement nala bunds and farm ponds. Beneficiary farmer’s survey was conducted to study the effect of SWC measures on cropping pattern, crop productivity, irrigation facility and area under irrigation. Various SWC measures showed their positive effect on cropping pattern and crop productivity. The area under irrigation was found to be increased by 68.16 per cent after construction of SWC measures at watershed.
