dc.description.abstract	A programme was initiated in 1998 to develop technology to improve water and land productivity in Kutch, a vast semi-arid and hot region in north-west India. Greenhouse cultivation was identified as basic approach. A new experimental facility was designed consisting of a greenhouse coupled to ETHE in closed loop with added provisions for shading, natural ventilation, and supplementary evaporative cooling via foggers. Investigations were carried out to determine (a) the extent to which new facility improves yields, extends cropping season, and conserves water compared to open- field in the area, and (b) the extent to which environmental control is achieved.	en
