Solution
Without irrigation, the development of agriculture is difficult in India because of the
following two reasons:
- Rainfall in India is highly irregular and uncertain. While sometimes, it may rain heavily, at other times, there can be droughts because of the scarcity of rains.
- Not every part of the country receives adequate rainfall. The windward side of the Western Ghats and northeastern parts of India receive heavy rainfall. On the other hand, the Saurashtra- Kutch region, parts of Punjab and Haryana, and Rajasthan receive scanty rainfall.
