Solution
- High installation cost: Setting up a tube-well necessitates a large investment in drilling, pipelines, and pumps, making it unsuitable for small or poor farms.
- Dependence on groundwater availability: Tube-wells are unable to function in regions where the water table is deep, groundwater is limited, or water quality is poor (brackish water).
