dc.description.abstractWater shortage is anticipated to become a problem in the future decades as the global population grows and the demand for water grows. With a rapidly growing population and millions of mouths to feed, India's agriculture is under severe strain. Even after seven decades of independence, India's agriculture is mostly reliant on monsoons. Farmers in India can play an important role in reducing water waste by implementing effective irrigation practises. In India, a considerable share of the population is classified as small or marginal farmers. All of this paints a bleak picture of India's agricultural future unless some innovative agricultural practises are used to boost production. Looking back over the last few decades, the net sown area has risen from 118 million hectares in 1950-51 to over 141 million hectares in 2017. Since 1970, it hasn't seen any significant growth. The late-sixties green revolution saved us from famine and made us self-sufficient in food grains. This was made feasible by the government's activities, which included the adoption of HYV seeds, fertilisers, and irrigation expansion. We've increased from roughly 20.85% of net irrigated area to 49.5 percent (Horticulture Statistic at Glance, 2018). This advancement does not come without a price. The indiscriminate removal of water for agriculture has had catastrophic repercussions. The water table has dropped, and irrigation expansion in dry and semi-arid areas has resulted in salinity and waterlogging. The problem of expanding agricultural productivity in light of limited land and finite water resources is enormous. While novel seed varieties and their ramifications are being researched around the world, new irrigation strategies are being implemented to improve water efficiency.
