Necessity Of Irrigation

              Necessity Of Irrigation

The following are some factors which govern the necessity of irrigation.

              • Insufficient Rainfall

Irrigation is necessary in the areas where rainfall is insufficient for the satisfactory growth of the crops  and the plants.

           •   Uneven or Non- uniform Rainfall

                              Distribution

The rainfall is not uniform at every place and throughout the year. It varies from place to pace and time to time. Therefore, in order to meet the water requirements of crops, it is essential to provide

facilities for irrigation.

      • Improvement of  perennial Crops

Some of the perennial crop requires water throughout the year. But rainfall is not uniform in all seasons of the year. Theses crops can not be produced perennially without water for all the seasons. For the 

growth or production of those perennial crops, irrigation is necessary. 

        •  Development  of  Desert  Area 

The dry and desert areas can be converted to a beautiful cropland if irrigation water can be supplied as per need.
