But in some areas the productivities of land has started showing a declining trend. Fertilisers, pesticides and insecticides, which once showed dramatic results are now being held responsible for degrading the soils. Periodic scarcity of water has led to reduction in area under irrigation. Inefficient water management has led to water logging and salinity
One more reason due to free power to a section of farmers has encouraged them to pump ground water to grow water intensive crops in low rainfall areas. e.g. : Rice in Punjab.
Thus unsustainable pumping has reduced water storage in aquifers. Consequently, many wells and tube wells have run dry. Thus has resulted the marginal and small farmers out of cultivation.
