Question

7. Why is it important to increase the area under irrigation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, it is important to increase the area under irrigation because water is very essential for agriculture. In India, the rainfall is unevenly distributed in the country and if rainfall is less, then production will be low, and farmers will be only able to grow one crop in a season.

Answer 2

Necessary to increase the land under irrigation

So if water is provided for irrigation to the farmers for a larger portion of land, it would lead to better output and make more land cultivable in India and also encourage farmers to take up newer farming methods without the fear of suffering a loss.
