Question

Mark ‘T’ if the statement is true and ‘F’ if it is false: Water from rivers is the only source for irrigation in the fields. (T/F)

Answer 1

True. Water from rivers is the only source for irrigation in the fields.

• Water from rivers is the only source for irrigation in the fields. Rain is the ultimate source of water.
• Agriculture consumes more water than any other source and wastes much of that through inefficiencies.
• Climate change is altering patterns of weather and water around the world, causing shortages and droughts in some areas and floods in others.
• Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of less than average rainfall.
• Sources of irrigation water include groundwater, through springs or wells, surface water, through rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, or even other sources
