Introduction
In India irrigation potential is created so that in future more
land can be irrigated. In the present system hardly 50 percent of
the cultivated land is inigated and the irrigation water is not
being utilized properly leading to more wastage than its use by
crop. While chemical fertilizers supplement the low nutrient
supplying capacity of the soil, there is no substitute of water for
production of crops. Efficient management of limited irrigation
water is of utmost importance for sustaining and increasing
agricultural production.
