Innovative Irrigation Management Techniques
Abstract
Irrigation is necessary when it comes to agricultural productivity and growth. For Irrigation, more than 80 percent of water is used all over the world and in India as well. However, the standard amount of water used in India for irrigation projects is evaluated to be around 30-35 percent. Though it is very certain that rehabilitation of irrigation system is revolutionary and will save water dramatically. But modernization and new techniques demands colossal funding expenditure, therefore precarious to endorse and it is necessary to to visualise pioneering, effortless, cheap and sophisticated water transmission techniques that are being used in few irrigation project in Maharashtra today. The paper discusses the need to boost or escalate the water consumption efficiencies of existing irrigation projects and new project. The input reveal that such progressive techniques will be enforced in other areas of irrigation projects which will be economically feasible to achieve improvement in crop yield and excellent water management with high water use efficiency.
