The crop production in district Rajouri of Jammu and Kashmir is characterized by low input –low yield concept and rather region rain-fed agriculture. The unique bio-diversity is the peculiarity of this region. This region receives very goodprecipitation even during the non monsoon months. In spite of sufficient rainfall in the region, availability of irrigation water during post monsoon period is always very meager. This region comprises of sloppy terrain and with highly percolative and impounding less water. Thus an attempt is made to harvest the rainwater in the HDPE lined farm ponds. The cost of water harvested in the farm pond comes as 0.90 paise per litre, while the life of HDPE lining material has considered as five years. The harvested water was used for irrigating short duration vegetable crops like strawberry, broccoli, capsicum, knolkhol, cabbage and chilli. The economics was also worked out and average B: C ratio was 5.76. The rain water harvesting through lined pond is viable technique for sustainable development of this region for livelihood security of farmers.
