Hello all,
want to construct a farm pond in 1 hectare rain fed land,
avg annual rainfall is 550 mm. if i cover this entire 1 hectare from June to Sept with 20 micron ldpe film,
1. how many liters of water can be collected from rain water.
2. how many lakh liters approximately per acre is needed for vegetable crops in a year ? assuming temperature ranging 10-42 C through the year, sand is loamy and moisture retention is good. i will also use plastic mulching and drip system.
any additional suggestions welcome, thank you in advance for your reply.
