Farmers prepare the field bunds with the help of sand, clay and stones surrounding the entire salt affected field. They steer the monsoon streams toward that field by preparing extra lateral canal in the adjacent elevated area. However, this adjoining area must be free from salt crust. Harvested rain water is allowed to drain and evaporate naturally. Farmers believe that salts are leached down with the rain. Farmers dig so reclaimed salt with the help of special kudali( spade having long blade) before using it for cultivation. This operation is locally known as 'Pana-godh'. This method can be used for only low lying area. some farmers use both the methods simultaneously and according to them it can reclaim the soil within 2-3 years if followed continously
