BHUBANESWAR:The Indian Institute of Water Management, Bhubaneswar, an arm of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR-IIWM), organised a one-day field demonstration of crop and water management technologies that can help enhance productivity of coastal flood-prone areas.
Using a pond-based farming technology, the IIWM is implementing the project on a pilot basis in Satyabadi and Kanas blocks where it has been found to be profitable and sustainable.
To explore the possibility of scaling up the technologies and enhancing productivity of coastal flood-prone and waterlogged areas, the ICAR-IIWM held the field demonstration at Alisha village under Satyabadi block.
Principal Scientist of ICAR-IIWM Dr Gouranga Kar explained about profitability and suitability of the technology.
