Question

Mention a few non-favourable conditions of developing irrigation in India.

Answer 1

• Many hilly places are not suitable for the usage of irrigation facilities.
• The stiff, impermeable rocks that make up the southern plateau are devoid of subterranean water.
• Rivers have deep troughs, and it is impossible to remove canals.
• In many arid regions, underground water is brackish and unsuitable for irrigation.
• One major obstacle to operating tube wells is the lack of electricity in many rural locations.
