Abstract

Water is a gift given by nature that is invaluable not only to life but also to the environment. Many functions of the biosphere depend on water. India is a country of villages. Agriculture is the means of livelihood of the villagers and irrigation water is important for agriculture. According to an estimate, by the year 2030, 71 percent of the global water will be used in agriculture. For successful crop production, it is necessary to have advanced seeds, fertilizers and fertilizers, water, land preparation and to protect crops from pests and diseases, by proper management of which we can increase agricultural production by two or three times. Water is a major factor in the above crop production factors, as it is needed in greater quantity throughout the life of plants. Growing crops becomes almost unrelated due to lack of water. The maximum loss of water is caused by adopting traditional crop production methods in agriculture, while many watering methods and farming methods are available for water saving at present, which can be adopted with less water and labor yield per unit area.
