2. KWDP II (Sujala III) Coverage – Example: Chamarajanagar Hydrological investigations proposed under the program are similar to the investigations being carried out in Bermabadi WS (BWS) in Hangala Hobli, Gundlupet Taluk, Chamrajanagar district. Brief presentation of the ongoing study in BWS is highlighted. 2/18

3. Groundwater levels: Gundlupet Taluk 3/18

4. Measurements in the Berambadi WS

5. Soil moisture measurements in various plots Aqua-pro Theta -Probe TDR 5/18

6. Simulations of profile soil moisture 2011 6/18

7. Crop measurements Leaf area index - 10 day frequency - using Canopy Leaf analyzer, Licor and camera with fisheye lens. Biomass - collected at critical stages of growth. Yield - collected at harvest. Development stages and crop management activities are monitored. Canopy Leaf analyzerCamera with Fish-eye Lens Licor 7/18
