उत्तर
Irrigation is important in a country like India because of the following reasons:
- Monsoons in India are uneven, erratic in nature and hence unreliable. While it may rain well during one year, another year the rainfall may be scarce. Hence irrigation is necessary despite the monsoons.
- To maximise production, it is important to irrigate crops. Depending on rainfall does not always result in high production.
