The Peepalpadar watershed has substantial water resources, which proves to be a sound base for developing the surrounding land and irrigation facilities in the area. The watershed has an elongated flow, which could be treated in several stages through small check dams. A series of dams have been constructed across the Peepalpadar Nala and several gully control structures have been implemented.

This has contributed towards dry season irrigation as well as increasing the soil moisture levels, simultaneously enabling the reclamation of nearly 40 acres of land being eroded by the monsoon run-off. Assured irrigation allows for the optimisation of land resources for better agriculture. The cropping intensity in this area has gone up an overwhelming 300%.
Other check-dams have also been constructed under the watershed programme, providing irrigation mainly for rabi crops.

These constructions have provided the area with multiple benefits like the reclamation of land area for cultivation as well as the prevention of the leaching of nutrients in the soil. This was a major concern in this area as the denudation of the surrounding hills had led to extensive erosion and caused the formation of several ravines in the watershed area.

Initial difficulties in determining a suitable course of action were overcome through interaction with the villagers. This project covers 30 acres and benefits 40 farmers who cultivate three crops. The terrain in this area also facilitates easy irrigation, aside from the implemented structures of the watershed programme.
