Importance of Water in Local Agriculture

16% of world population lives in India. But they have only 4% fresh global water resource.

So what??

How will we do our agriculture??
1. Increase the irrigation use efficiency to the level of Isreal.
2. Decrease the area under paddy and sugarcane or Alternatively develop best water use technology for these two crops.
3. Increase the infrastructure development for irrigation channel.

(In this day tamil daily Dinamalar (20/06/2007) there is report of breakage of irrigation channel of Parambikular Aliyar Project (PAP). It warrants immediate attention. And no body is interested in rectifying the defect. Check www.dinamalar.com
