How should I make it?
Khadin
 |
The size of the Khadin is designed on the basis of local rainfall patterns, catchment characteristics and soil type. |
|
The delineation of catchment should be done on the cadestal/village map so that there is no wastage of water. |
|
The head outlet gate/opening of appropriate size may be provided in the khadin bund for the release of the standing water if any before the rabi sowing. |
|
A structure of 7.5 cm thick layer can be provided over the bund section for protection against wind and rain erosion. |
|
Khadin may be constructed in an area where soil is fine textured, medium to deep with high soil moisture retention capacity. Soil should be free from salinity. |
|
The angle of slopes for the side of the bunds would be governed by the type of soil, bund base width and height. |
|
The embankments can be converted to permanent structures with cement lining. |
