Application of GIS on small farm and dairy management: SARSA green, Durgapur, West-Bengal Anit Ghose Vice-President GIS Projects & Management Webstar Infotech (P) Ltd. Kolkata, WestBengal Jayeeta Dey GIS Developer Prasenjit Dwary GIS Researcher webinfo@cal2.vsnl.net.in Abstract Dairy Development plays a vital role in bringing out significant changes in socio-economic structure of rural economy. The main objectives of Dairy Developments in India is to increase production and availability of milk through integrated policy of cattle cum Dairy Development, eliminating the middlemen, through formation of co-operatives and self supporting dairy enterprise. The advent of Geographical Information System (GIS) has added new vistas in the field of Dairy Farm and Management. It also helps in integrating the whole Dairy Farm in a more precise way to get correct information about the various factors related with the whole dairy farm. Introduction The farm of Sarsa Green Projects around Chapabandi, Bansgora and Hetedoba Mouzas near Durgapur in Burdwan District of West-Bengal. Dairy Development plays a vital roll in brining about significant changes in socio-economic structure of rural economy. The main objectives of Dairy development in West-Bengal is to increase production and availability of milk through integrated policy of cattle cum Dairy Development eliminating the middlemen through formation of co-operatives and self supporting dairy enterprise. (Fig.1) The advent of Geographical Information System (GIS) has added new vistas in the field of Dairy Farm and Management. It is also helps in integrating the whole Dairy Farm in a more precise way to get correct information about the various factors related with the whole Dairy farm. West-Bengal lies in an area where form no drilling data is available as no borehole exists there and in the nearby areas. In order to understand the surface aquifer disposition in the area, vertical Electrical drillings were planned at various locations in and around the proposed site. The points for drilling deep tube wells (subject to ground water availability) are to be chosen on the basis of the investigation through resistivity sounding. The daily requirement for the project is expected to be of the order of 50,000 to 60,000 gallons, in the first phase of the work. The requirement may increase to about one lac gallons/day when the second phase of the work is completed.
