Abstract

The CCLP model was developed and applied at 20% risk level to selected area of Junagadh Campus of Junagadh Agricultural University. The optimal periodic water storage of water harvesting system and optimal cropping pattern were determined using the model. The optimal design capacity of water harvesting system was observed as 71.5 ha-m with a cost-benefit ratio of @1.5.
