During irrigation of the crops a huge quantity of water is wasted due to poor efficiencies of irrigation systems. This wastage can be minimized by adapting suitably storing excess water of irrigation in on-farm reservoir (OFR) and later using this water in a specific way. The present study deals with improvement in water irrigation efficiency of four irrigation waterings crop with the use and efficient operation of on-farm reservoir. The study suggests that the use of stored water of OFR invariably increases water irrigation efficiency. However, a particular operation procedure of OFR yields maximum water irrigation efficiency.
