Question

Is it important to increase the area under irrigation? Why?

Answer 1

Yes, it is important to increase the area under irrigation because water is very essential for agriculture. In India, the rainfall is unevenly distributed in the country and if rainfall is less, then production will be low, and farmers will be only able to grow one crop in a season. With good irrigation facilities, it will be possible to do multiple cropping, helping to increase the yield per hectare.
