Average annual rainfall of Vidarbha region is 900 mm. Due to erratic nature of rain fall the expected crop production could not be possible in last year. The same thing was happened with the Rabbi crops and due to this the farmers have got in to trouble.

Agriculture is totally rain-fed. If the rain water fallen on surface is systematically checked and harvested the problem of drinking water could be solved and also remaining water could be used for irrigation. Due to lack of soil management the upper layer of fertile soil is going waste and storing in Nallas and lastly in Dams or reservoirs. Most of the dams, reservoirs have been got silted and lost their water holding capacity. Therefore, Rasikashraya had undertaken soil and water conservation work in Yavatmal district. During 2016 to 2022 the Organization has carried out soil and water conservation work in 30 villages of Ghatanji, Yavatmal, Pandharkawada and Kalamb blocks of Yavatmal district. The work mainly carried out was de-siltation of 17 tanks, Nala deepening in 9 villages, A revival of a river, farm bunding in one village and earthen dams in two villages.  Total 1032 farmers got benefitted from these soil and water conservation activities. Around 5000 trees could be planted in 30 villages.
