What FACTLY found
Water source creation, conservation and efficient use (by a blend of systems like micro-irrigation and technology like crop alignment) can promote more crop per drop. PMKSY is based on this principle. However, the scheme itself is an amalgamation of existing schemes, implying that there is not a new focus, but continuation of existing programs
