Study was conducted on low cost earthen dam during 2003-2005 at the Central Horticultural Experiment Station, Vejalpur. The study indicated that, runoff water, harvested can be recycled which forms an integral part of successful horticulture fruit crops, during lean period. Dam was constructed across small gully of 3 m depth for this study and its location, design and specifications were taken as per recommendations. The structure resulted that, an appreciable amount of water or moisture storage remains in the buffer area. Storage capacity of structure decreased enormously due to silt load, debris and seepage losses.
