(4031) Block system (a term used in India in the States of Maharashtra and Gujarat)
A system which consists of limiting water delivery to blocks (i.e. fixed areas) for a definite period (generally six years) where only certain crops are permitted. There are different kinds of blocks in a given irrigation farm holding : sugar cane blocks, garden blocks, `kharif` blocks and `rabi` blocks. In sugar cane blocks, any crop may be grown in the monsoons and winter seasons subject to the proviso that not more than one third area shall be under sugar cane, but during summer season only sugar cane is allowed.
