Improved irrigation management and technical interventions proposed were discussed with farmers for getting their response. 15 farmers or water users out of the 4909 farmers of right bank canal command area was surveyed to discuss about technical interventions. A questionnaire was prepared considering the points made for improvement and information was collected through personal survey of individual farmer. To conduct this interview the study area was divided in three reaches that is head, middle and tail reach. In this way 180 farmers of all the five WUA were considered for analysis through Chi square test. It was found that average water productivity in case of sprinkler irrigation system, border irrigation system and flood irrigation system was recorded as 1.32 kg m-3, 0.75 kg m-3 and 0.61 kg m-3 respectively. An increase of 76% in the water productivity was observed when border irrigation system was replaced by sprinkler irrigation system. Similarly 116% increase in water productivity was found when flood irrigation system was replaced by sprinkler irrigation system and about 23% increase in water productivity was found if flood irrigation system was replaced by border irrigation system.
