उत्तर

Most of the fresh water in India is used up by irrigation.

Explanation:

India is primarily an agrarian economy, with agriculture consuming 80% to 90% of the country’s total freshwater resources. This vast allotment is required to maintain large-scale irrigation for water-intensive staple crops such as rice, wheat, and sugarcane, with a considerably lower portion reserved for industrial or home usage.
