SOILS SITE MAP Taxation Concessions for On-farm Soil and Water Conservation Works Tax rebate Tax deduction Type of works Drought Investment Allowance Farmers now have the choice of claiming a tax rebate or a tax deduction for soil and water conservation works carried out on their property. Eligible taxpayers can choose between the rebate and the deduction, but it is not possible to claim both the deduction and the rebate for the same expenditures. For some water conservation and conveying works undertaken prior to 1 July 2000 an additional Drought Investment Allowance may apply. There are no application forms, and claims are made on your tax return, but some concessions are conditional upon an approved plan. Tax deduction Subdivision 387-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 allows primary producers and businesses on rural land to write off, in one year, capital expenditure on preventing and treating land degradation, while Subdivision 387-B allows primary producers to write off, over three years, capital expenditure on facilities for conserving and conveying water. Investments claimed as deductions must be part of operating a business.

Application of Agro Ecological Zones Database in Drought Management Cover page This pilot research project was carried out in seven thanas of the country to develop a national methodology for drought assessment and management for the reduction of damage to agriculture potentials from water scarcity. The project was conceived with active co-operation from the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC) for a period of 3 years, commencing from April 1 st The objectives of the study were to develop a methodology and corresponding tools that could be applied on a national level drought assessment of present and future agricultural practices. The study output was intended to contribute to policy formulation and strategic planning in areas such as, agricultural practices and crop diversification, investments in irrigation development works, and allocation of water to different uses. National Methodology The methodology can be applied in any part of the country and is framed in a way so as to proceed with a detailed drought assessment at the thana level. The aggregated figures of the assessment are to be utilized at the national level. The methodology was applied in seven selected thanas belonging to the major agroecological regions of the country for assessing water availability and crop water demand. Several analytical steps were followed for the determination of crop water demand, surface and ground water availability and drought assessment.

84. Drought Strategies -- Residue Management For Erosion Control http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/drought/ds-22-97.htm

North Dakota State University NDSU Extension Service Residue Management For Erosion Control DS-22-97, June 1997 Vernon Hofman, Agricultural Engineer Keeping a protective cover of crop residue on the soil surface is the simplest and surest way to control both water and wind erosion. Residues improve infiltration of water into the soil, reduce evaporation, and help maintain organic matter. Incorporating previous crop residues leaves the soil surface exposed to agricultural runoff, which causes soil erosion. Erosion Control Residue management provides a means for limiting both soil particle detachment and removal of soil particles from the field. Vegetative residues reduce raindrop impact and reduce the wind velocity at the soil surface. Residues also create an intricate and complex series of diversion dams that slow water runoff rates and reduce the amount of soil particle detachment. In addition, slowing the runoff rate reduces the capacity of water to transport dislodged soil particles from the field, reducing the erosion rate even more. Moisture is conserved as more time is available for water to infiltrate the soil and evaporation is reduced by the cover on the soil surface. The amount of crop residue produced and subsequently available for erosion control depends mainly on the type and yield of the crop grown and the tillage system used. Generally, higher yields mean more residues. The amount of residue present from seedbed preparation through crop establishment is critical because the greatest potential for erosion occurs from early April to mid-May. The selection and use of a tillage system largely determines the amount of residue cover during this critical period.
