Irrigation without proper drainage of water leads to waterlogging in the soil. Besides affecting the crops, waterlogging draws salt to the surface of the soil. The salt then gets deposited as a thin crust on the land surface or starts collecting at the roots of the plants. This increased salt content inhibits the growth of crops and is extremely damaging to agriculture.
