The Maharashtra government in India has created the ‘Jalyukt Shivar Yojana,' a water conservation program. The Jalyukt Shivar (JYS) Campaign is the state government's flagship program. This initiative intends to provide water empowerment to drought-affected areas to make Maharashtra drought-free by 2019. The goal of this program is to eliminate water scarcity in 5000 villages every year. The goal of present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of water conservation strategies in Kasara village in Ahmednagar District. The methodology used in this work as, the geographic information system (GIS) platform was utilized to create each layer of conservation methods for each community. In this work, an impact of water conservation practices namely: Compartment bunding, Nala extension, Well recharge, Sediment extraction, Farm pond, Drip and Sprinkler irrigation, Hydrofracturing, Continuous Contour Trench (CCT), Plantation, Kolhapur type weir (KT Weir), Gabion structure, Cement Nala dam, Loose boulder structure (LBS), Pond and percolation tank were assessed with the help of GIS techniques. The choropleth map was used to explicate the statistical variables in study area. After, the experimental analysis, results showed that, the different water conservation methods that has been developed in this tehsil proves beneficial to farmers and society. Moreover, the study concludes with the storage capacity of Nalas and dams have increased, also the water levels in open well has raised by 15.89% and bore well water levels has raised by 25% after implementation of JSA.
