At this scale, it is not possible to employ irrigation options like drip and sprinklers.
Flood irrigation is an option, but the network of canals needed does not exist, and even if it does, it does not have water, because it gets diverted to other areas to solve political motives.
Hence, monsoon is the primary source of water for irrigation as over 60% of Indian agriculture is rainfed.
Moreover, Monsoon is the only source of water to be used by other irrigation techniques. Hence, it is important for Indian agriculture.
