 DESCRIPTION
spacer
Rapidly shrinking natural resource base due to increasing population and competition for water among all other sectors in increasing the damage to ecological foundation of agriculture through soil degradation by erosion, water logging, salinization and siltation of reservoirs. There is a wide gap between creation reutilization of water both I qualitative and quantitative aspects. Rapid urbanisation, industrialisation and population explosion coupled with global climatic changes and over exploitation of groundwater are the main reasons for diminishing water availability for agriculture. In order to ensure adequate water for agriculture, we must embark upon efficient water management practices including water conservation, water harvesting and its efficient use through new technologies like micro-irrigation. One of the main lacunae is the lack of attention towards land drainage in irrigated commands resulting in increase of problematic soils. In view of these developments, a constant need for a scientific compilation on the intricate details of the drainage technology is being felt by the stakeholders. This publication is a compilation of details of drainage technology to improve the soil health and productivity of the problematic land. Hopefully, it will bridge the yawning gap between the two.
