Irrigation in India includes a network of major and minor canals from Indian rivers, groundwater well based systems, tanks, and other rainwater harvesting projects for agricultural activities. Of these groundwater system is the largest.[1] In 2013-14, only about 36.7% of total agricultural land in India was reliably irrigated,[2] and remaining 2/3rd cultivated land in India is dependent on monsoons.[3] 65% of the irrigation in India is from groundwater.[4]Currently about 51% of the agricultural area cultivating food grains is covered by irrigation . The rest of the area is dependent on rainfall which is most of the times unreliable and unpredictable.
