This study makes an attempt to examine analytically to prove how tank rehabilitation is useful for both direct (farmers) and indirect (landless, poor, women and other vulnerable group) tank users. The tank systems have provided insulation from dependence on rains to the people living in the fragile rainfed areas. The farmers in rainfed tanks who are predominantly marginal and small farmers are highly vulnerable to the vagaries of monsoon.
