Abstract


Provision of irrigation facilities is the most potent single factor in any scheme of increased crop production, especially in a country like ours where the monsoons are often erratic and the rains precarious. No doubt, better seeds, more manure and scientific methods of cultivation do play their parts in increasing crop yields. But without adequate and timely supply of water, these cannot produce effective results. By providing an assured supply of water, crop production may be increased by 100%, for the dry land can be converted into a garden land, the garden land into a wet land and the single crop wet land into a double crop wet land.
