Total livestock in western Rajasthan as per 2003 livestock census is 235.88 lakhs, which is 48.01 percent of Rajasthan state. Livestock population of 2003 has been decreased by more than 10 percent from 1997 census and main reason of this situation is the decreasing usefulness of male livestock. Bullocks, male buffaloes and camel use in agriculture and cartage is decreasing constantly in view of mechanization in agricultural practices. Irrigation from open wells in western Rajasthan has been decreased significantly and use of livestock for water drawl has been nearly stopped due to depth and use of pump-sets. Tube-wells are most common in the region and technology support has simplified search of ground water resources with the help of satellite. However, the drinking water problem has been provided to most of the villages of the western Rajasthan and even in summers, only very few villages require water availability through tankers.
