Details of Innovation	The fertile soil and organic substances are eroded due to heavy rains in the hilly and forest area. This down flowing water is diverted to the fields by constructing small canals. Diversion of this water in field provides necessary moisture to the crop. It helps simultaneous deposition of fertile soil and organic substances in the fields. This adds the fertility of soil resulting better yield of crop. This water is also applied to other nearby fields slowly through step formation.
