Micro-irrigation, or drip and sprinkler systems, can help with issues like water shortages and greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in the context of climate change. The agricultural production particularly the cereals have increased over the years almost in proportional to irrigation facility created and utilized. Over the last twelve five year plans during 1950-51 to 2017-18 the irrigation potential has been increased at the rate of about 342.30%. Agriculture sector alone uses about 80% of our usable water resources. This necessitates efficient use of water and nutrients to enhance crop productivity. To counter the deficit without missing the production targets, adoption of micro-irrigation system in India is being considered as a potential alternative.

Agricultural sector consume almost 80% of the total water of the country.For this reason other sector like manufacturing industry,chemical industry etc. get shut down.Either wastage of water in agricultural sector should be reduced or reduce the agricultural production.Proper water management policy should be followed.Drip irrigation system still is not popular among the farmer due to its design complexity.So this book may help them as well as the agriculturist to get some simple ideas regarding the drip irrigation.
