Kamble Pravin Bhanudas
Abstract:
Agricultural transformation and growth are possible if a steady supply of water is guaranteed. In the absence of irrigation, intensive farming yields relatively little. In addition, irrigation significantly increases the land's output. A thorough assessment of the Solapur district's irrigation system has been conducted in the aforementioned analysis in order to comprehend the function and influence of irrigation on the growth and effectiveness of agriculture. Solapur district in Maharashtra is predominantly an agricultural region, with irrigation playing a crucial role in its agricultural development. This study aims to identify and compare the different types of irrigation systems used in Solapur district. The study reveals that surface water irrigation, groundwater irrigation, and drip irrigation are the primary types of irrigation used in the region. The study also highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each type of irrigation system.
