Sugarcane in Madras and Andhra States is subject to drought in summer and water-logging by North East Monsoon, particularly so when it is cultivated in the wet lands of delta region. The main canals of project areas are closed for annual repairs for varying periods from February to June. The subsoil water level goes low and pumping becomes difficult and costly. The soil and atmosphere go dry and losses due to seepage or evaporation in transmitting pumped water are very high. The crops suffer by severe drought in soil and air with consequent reduction in yield and quality of juice.
