6-Drainage and Water Logging Problems in India.

Abstract

In the absence of any means of draining the irrigated water adequately, the water table begins to rise. Seepages from canals, tanks. irrigation fields, etc. further add to water table, which ultimately reaches the root zones of the crop and create water logging hazard. Water logging is not only agricultural menace but it is environmental disturbance. Wizen the water reaches root zones it prohibits the crop growth by interfering with crop 'Osmosis' process. To remove excess water from the surface or sub-soil a properly designed drainage system with the aid of computers is recommended.
