Irrigation of crop plants is mainly essential in drought-prone areas. To meet the water requirements of the crop plants, water is supplied to them via canals, wells, reservoirs, tube wells, etc. Irrigation also allows the cultivation of crops throughout the year instead of during rainy season only.
