“…This means that for the origination, increase and decrease of physical constituent's channels are necessary. In male there are nine external Srotas commonly known as Nava-Dwara (nine openings), seven of them are situated above neck region and two of them situated below the nabhi or trunk 4 . In an addition tenth opening is mentioned by Sharangadara on the vertex 5 .…”

Ayurveda gives various ideas of Rachana Shareera, and there are many topics like Kala, Sira, Dhamani, and Srotas. So here we have taken Srotas as one of the basic concepts of Rachana Shareera. It holds Srotas in high regard as a crucial component of the Human Body’s structure and functions. Srotas fulfill a significant role in the transportation and circulation of various materials within the body. Pranavaha Srotas maintains the maintenance of life throughout. Pranavaha srotas means channel, which carries the external air into the Body to sustain life. Pranavayu is represented as the functional unit of the respiratory Centre, sensory and motor organs, mind, intellect, and consciousness. It maintains the life and life process by supplying oxygen. Thus, the Pranavaha Srotas is most important for preserving life and longevity. Hridaya and Maha Srotas are the Mula Sthana of Pranavaha Srotas. Life starts with Breath and ends with Breathlessness. Breathlessness may be due to physiological or pathological problems, pathological is one of the leading causes of morbidity.

“…Majority of Indian dry-lands remains thirsty in terms of water and hungry in terms of nutrients. India's per capita reservoir storage is relatively small, and water-use efficiency also remains low (Thatte, 2018), which remains another reason for lower water supplies for dry-lands. Even a tiny fraction of this water when harvested in suitable structures at appropriate location and applied as life-saving supplementary irrigation, have tremendous scope to amply boost the grass/fodder production, and thus setting into shift numerous other multiple effects.…”

Grasslands together with rangelands & pastoral scenery, forms about 40% of the global land surface, and remains an important ecosystem to offer livelihoods for more than 800 million people. They are active sink for about one-third of the global stock of carbon. The growing issues of climate change and water scarcity have added a new dimension to the values of such lands with a critical warning to appropriately understand their hydrological processes and water budget. Harnessing optimum productivity of bio-mass and water from such land parcels is a growing need to cater the upward feeding demands of India's livestock (being largest in the world ~623 M of which at least 50 % depends upon open grazing on natural grasslands). Indian grasslands are still least understood and underestimated natural habitats where grazing-based livestock husbandry continuously influence the regional water economy. The rationale of this paper is revealing potential benefits and developmental prospects of Indian grasslands to facilitate their elementary role to regulate prevailing natural resources at watershed scales. It describes the interacting factors that indeed affect the hydrologic cycle under rangeland/pastureland conditions. The author has shared his own case studies and 20 years operational experiences while being actively engaged in planning, development and management of grasslands, wastelands, and degraded forest catchments in many parts of India. It also includes few outcomes from execution of soil & water conservation plans & measures controlling runoff and soil erosion to deliver better (quantitative & qualitative) biomass outputs from such lands. A substantial food for thought is provided for debating & devising a suitable component of water policy framework exclusively for such lands.

“…Gilmont et al (2018) determine that increased use of groundwater for irrigation (rather than surface sources) does not, in fact, buffer agriculture growth from rainfall variability. Literature on water resources management approaches in India highlights the need to resolve supply side interventions to include adaptation to the increasing likelihood of a higher frequency of extreme events (Thatte, 2017). With an expected increase in variability of the monsoon climate in India, however, tank irrigation is still considered one of the major strategies for coping with rainfall variability Mathison et al, 2013;Siderius et al, 2015).…”

“…India has invested in irrigation infrastructure to reduce the vulnerability of the agricultural sector to hydrological variability (Dhawan, 1993;World Bank, 2002;Duflo and Pande, 2007;Shah and Kumar, 2008). Multiple state governments in India have focussed on public investment in construction, modernisation, and rehabilitation of major and medium irrigation projects (Biswas-Tortajada, 2014;Thatte, 2017). Areas with investment in surface irrigation have seen increasing yields, changing cropping patterns, increasing gross cropped area, and transition from a mono crop regime to double cropping in comparison to areas wholly dependent on rain-fed agriculture (Planning Commission, 2011;Kumar et al, 2014; Jagdeeshan and Kumar, 2015).…”

Investments in modernising irrigation infrastructure are key to enhance water security for agriculture. However, outcomes of investments are insufficiently understood, potentially limiting the future design of interventions. This article applies a fixed-effects regression model to test whether modernisation of irrigation systems in Madhya Pradesh leads to improvements in district-level yields and protection of yields against sub-basin rainfall variability. Findings suggest that investments fail to improve crop yields in districts with deficient rainfall and fail to buffer yields against monsoon variability compared to control districts with no investments. Interventions should be designed to respond to the complexities of sub-basin rainfall variability.
