DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS AND STRATEGIES

DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS AND STRATEGIES

Summary:

India is one of the few countries in the world, boasting a wealth of land and

Water resources. The average annual rainfall in the country is estimated to be more than 4000 cubic

Throughout the geographic area 328 km m.ha. 185 m.ha culture to

India's tropical climate conditions, has undergone dramatic changes in spatial and temporal

Rainfall accounts for about one-third of the area is drought-prone. Southern and

Western part of the region, including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh state,

Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka is drought-prone. In

On the other hand, by the periodic floods are mainly concentrated in the north and the North

Eastern regions of the country, including the state, Bihar, West Bengal Uttarpradesh,

About seven countries ASSAN and Northeast

1.2 There are great differences in various rivers, the average per capita consumption of water

Brahmaputra / Barak Valley Sabarmati low as 300 cubic meters, and some river basins like

Loach, TAPI and PENNAR already stressed water. M, the per capita availability of less than 1000 cubic meters

As scarcity, according to international standards and remedial measures may be necessary for the planning.

Therefore, the scarcity conditions already exist in some parts of the country need to be eased. Irregular, uneven or unequal.

Therefore, irrigation is essential for agriculture The following is the main reason, in our irrigation

Country.

A) about 80% of the total rainfall in four months, from mid-June to mid-October, India accurs.

Therefore, it is essential for the production of private irrigation crops during the rest of 8 months.

2) monsoon is uncertain, so irrigation is necessary to protect the crop due to drought

Uncertain rainfall.

3) it does not rain, the same throughout the country. Thus, irrigated agriculture is necessary low rainfall

Regions.

4) some areas the soil is sandy loam and the main part of the porous rain

Sank very quickly ramp hillisides. Therefore, irrigation is necessary to grow crops other fields.

5) India is an agricultural and populous country, the upcoming percent of people rely on agriculture,

A large number of food crops and agricultural products to feed the growing millions of intensive shooting

Extensive irrigation, crop rotation is necessary, therefore, more production needs. 1) Drinking water

United Nations projections, by 2025. India's population will be around AD

Using medium 1394000000, forecasts. Each national water policy to give the highest priority

Drinking water supply. Therefore, you may need to increase the population, it must meet

Long-term planning to ensure drinking water supply.

2) irrigation

It is estimated that in 2025 AD, resource utilization is likely to rise to 1050

From the surface and from the surface 360 ​​m3 and 360 m3 km from 700 cubic kilometers cubic kilometers

Groundwater. Thus, almost the entire country will be required to put in water use efficiency

Use AD 2025, however, even before that there are many, especially in the western, Rajasthan,

Rayalseema Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu and Gujarat states in most areas. In the same

Time, there will be areas will continue to maintain a surplus due to the large availability of water

Resource potential, but the lack of cultivation land.

3) demand forfood cereals

In the past three years, the average annual grain production in the country is currently

About 200 million tons, in addition to sugar and edible oil and other food needs in the future up to 2025

AD will depend on population, per capita demand and export needs. Food needs

Then up to 400 tons per year 90. Therefore, efforts must be made to strengthen

The current production, through effective management of land and water resources. However, the most

Is still the key determinant of the availability of reliable irrigation water
