South Gujarat occupies the most predominant position in the irrigation map of Gujarat. The Ukai- Kakrapar (UKC) is the biggest multi-purpose project in South Gujarat built on river Tapi. Prior to inception of canal, the whole tract had a predominant monocropping of cotton, sorghum, pigeon pea and orchard crops with pulses on residual moisture. With creation of perennial irrigation facility, double and multiple cropping like sugarcane, banana, summer paddy, vegetables and orchard etc. came in to existence. Due to adoption of unscientific soil and water management practices in these crops, the ill effects like water logging, secondary salinzation etc. has been arised. Further, the lack of concept of agricultural drainage in this area has aggravated the problems of water logging and secondary salinization. As a result of this, presently 15 per cent land of the UKC has adversely affected and another 25 per cent area is critical from water logging point of view.
