Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsKhazan Farming system is commonly practised in:
Correct
Khazan Farming
The low-lying floodplains of Goa host an estuarine agricultural system called Khazan farming.
This system is a carefully designed topo-hydro-engineered agro-aquacultural ecosystem mainly based on the regulation salinity and tides.
How does it work?
Centuries ago, people in this region reclaimed low-lying brackish coastal floodplains and mangrove forests.
They constructed bunds using locally available material to prevent the ingress of saltwater, which killed the halophilic mangroves.
To control the flow of tidal waters, they built openings in bunds fitted with one-way gates.
These channels would fill in with the oncoming tide and bring with them fish, crab and shrimp, and the gates would automatically shut when the water level was equal on both sides.
This prevented the water from overflowing into the fields used to grow paddy and which has a low tolerance to salt.
When the tide receded, these gates would open outwards automatically, allowing the water to drain out.
During this time, a bag net was set at the gate to catch fish that had entered in earlier.
Benefits of Khazan
Every bit of space was precious and used efficiently — the bunds were used to grow a variety of vegetables.
The Khazan system allowed for the farmer and the fisher to harmoniously coexist and was the key to sustaining what is considered Goa’s staple — fish, curry and rice.Incorrect
