Explanation:
- Nowadays, agriculture is growing and relying intensively on irrigation that uses runoff and fresh groundwater.
- Again, dry area farming methods use precious ground water to a great extent resulting in depletion of fresh water and the pesticide, fertilizer, etc. used in agriculture often contaminates fresh water and makes it unsuitable for use.
- For cultivation of different types of crops especially for dry land need more ground water to yield more products.
