Abstract
The farming systems in the water-scarce region of semiarid Uttar Pradesh
have been examined. The availability of land and also of water has become
the most limiting factors in farming for increasing the levels of farm income
and employment. Therefore, an effort has been made to suggest sustainable
farming systems through optimization of farm resources and also by putting
restriction on the availability of irrigation water. It has been shown that the
income and employment could be increased in the water-scarce situation
if the farm resources are utilized optimally and less water-requiring crops/
activities are selected in the farm plan.
