Answer» 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[when?] 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. |
