Abstract
India is currently experiencing a serious water crisis as a result of a number of issues, including the overuse of groundwater, ineffective irrigation methods in agriculture, climate change, and rising water demand from diverse industries. To solve the water issue, the agriculture sector—which consumes the majority of the nation's water—must embrace sustainable practices. Promoting water-saving irrigation techniques like drip irrigation, which is 90% effective and may save up to 60% more water than conventional flood irrigation, is one strategy.[8] To preserve soil moisture and lower their need for water, farmers can also use conservation agriculture techniques including mulching, crop rotation, and minimal tillage. The cultivation of less water-intensive plants like millets, pulses, and oilseeds, which can thrive in arid climates and use less water, is another strategy that may be used. In addition to giving farmers a nice and supplementary source of income, this helps to lessen the strain on water supplies. To increase the amount of water that is available for agricultural use, integrated water management practices including rainwater harvesting, watershed development, and aquifer recharge can also be encouraged. Further reducing water use is possible by utilizing water-saving technology like micro irrigation systems and laser land leveling. To solve the water situation in India's agriculture sector, a multifaceted strategy is needed. Adopting environmentally friendly techniques and technology may increase farmers' output and revenue while also ensuring water security.
