Dams, Reservoirs and weirs play their significant role by providing the numerous facilities for social and economic development. These Water resource projects provided water for irrigation, Drinking, industrial activity, hydro-power and recreation etc. Water availability is the most important parameter for the success of any water resource project. In case of failure of rainfall use of irrigation becomes much more essential areas growing multiple crops need intensive irrigation facilities. Irrigation is a key component of agricultural development of an economy. In present study Ahmednagar district is selected as a study area which came under rain shadow and semi-arid region. This paper discusses tehsil wise water utilization for irrigation of K.T. weir projects in Ahmednagar district is observed for 2010 and 2015. The data regarding Water Storage (gross and live), Irrigated Area, no. of K.T. weir projects and water use for Irrigation by K.T. weir project has been collected from Irrigation Department, Ahmednagar. This paper tries to contemplate the impact of K. T. weir projects on agriculture and concluded that it’s contributed to development of agriculture in the district.
