Question

Give a geographical reason for the following:

Rabi crops are grown in areas with irrigation facilities.

Answer 1

Rabi crops are grown in areas with irrigation facilities because they are sown during the dry winter season when monsoon rains do not fall. Crops such as wheat and barley require a lot of water during important growth phases like flowering. Because natural winter precipitation is infrequent and unpredictable, artificial irrigation systems provide the consistent, controlled water supply required for healthy crop maturation.
