Drinking water
Patan and Amrapar villages have water tank for drinking water but due to deficiency of water in summer season people faces problem of
drinking water for tow months. Other villages have well for drinking purpose but the same problem arrives in summer season so if the
watershed development project get implemented with proper planning and management, then such type of problem can finished forever.
As a result of the watershed activities, it is expected that the quantity and quality of drinking water would improve.

Crops
Agriculture primarily depends upon water; but this is what is lacking in Patan village. The surface water is scanty due to low rainfall and
Ground water is saline, which is unfit for crop production.
All this can change with the integrated land and water management during the watershed project. The planned earthen bunds would prevent the saline
water from the Rann of Kutch to mix with the sweet rain water and also help percolate sweet water underground, and preserve some moisture in the soil.
This will help in additional area coming under cultivation and increasing productivity too. The farmers can take more than one season of crops.
Different varieties of crops can be taken.hg
