Question

There is unequal distribution in distribution of area under irrigation. Explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

It's the potential gain from irrigation, which we use to explain the spread of the regimes," says Wingender.

"Instead of looking at the [presence of] actual irrigation, we looked at it through climatic and geographic variables and how beneficial the introduction of irrigation would’ve been," he says.

The use of irrigation potential solves the traditional problems associated with identifying areas that were historically dependent on irrigation, says Ola Olsson, professor of development economics at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
