Question

why is irrigation necessary for agriculture in India?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Without irrigation farming is very limited & if the rainfall decreases to less than 30cm, agriculture becomes impossible without irrigation (King, 1953). It increases crop yield. It protects from famine. It helps to cultivate superior crops with the water supply as per need of the crops.The monsoons are uncertain. So irrigation is necessary to protect crops from drought as a result of uncertain rainfall.

Answer 2

Answer:

It is important to increase the area under irrigation because: It is necessary to reduce the dependency on rainfall and stabilize the cropping pattern. For example in South India without perennial rainfall, water supply replenishment is dependent on a cycle of dry seasons alternating with monsoon seaons.
