Is it important to increase the area under irrigation? Why?
Answer:
Answer to be written in exam
- In areas that have irregular precipitation, irrigation improves crop growth and quality . By allowing farmers to grow crops on a consistent schedule, irrigation also creates more reliable food supplies.
- Since not all Indian villages have such high levels of irrigation, it is crucial to expand the area irrigated.
- Our country's coastal regions, aside from the riverine plains, are highly irrigated. In contrast, plateau locations with minimal levels of irrigation include the Deccan plateau.
- Less than 40% of the country's total irrigated land i s still irrigated as of today. The remaining areas rely heavily on rainfall for cultivation.
- Therefore, if water were made available to farmers for irrigation on a bigger area of land, it would produce better results, make more land in India fertile, and inspire farmers to adopt modern farming techniques without being concerned about losing money.
