The state economy is highly dependent on the agricultural production by the farmers through judicious use of water. Water is becoming scarce due to climatic changes globally and unpredictable drought conditions due to the fact that almost eight months of the year are dry although there is heavy rainfall during the summer. In this scenario, the Department is implementing reliable water sources infrastructures for assured irrigations and also imparting the requisite training for economic usage of water to the farmers, the department stated in its website.
