Food requirements of the fast growing global population, exerts constant
pressure for increasing the food production. Since, agricultural productivity depends
on availability of water, there is increased demand of water also in agricultural
sector. On the other hand, due to increased demand of water for other sectors,
quantum available for irrigation sector is getting reduced. So, for meeting the
increased irrigation demand, it is necessary to economize the use of water for
irrigation by adopting improved technologies and improving the water use efficiency.
It is estimated that, population of India may stabilize at around 1600 million by the
year 2050. The available utilizable water resources would be inadequate to meet the
future water needs of all sectors. Therefore, to meet the challenge of water shortage,
it is imperative to use the water efficiently and increase the utilizable quantity by all
possible means. Vigorous efforts would be needed by all concerned including people
from all walks of life in water conservation effort.
