“…Irrigated agricultural lands are of vital importance, as they represent 20% of the total cultivated land but contribute over 40% of the global food production (WWAP, 2009). Irrigated agriculture has been expanding to feed the growing global population; for example, India, China, and Brazil have witnessed a 30% (Jain et al, 2020), 52% (Zhu et al, 2013), and 52% (Carvalho et al, 2020) increase in cultivated areas under irrigation in the last 50 years, respectively. Further, between 2012 and 2030, the global irrigated land area is expected to increase by over 30%, from 310 Mha to 402 Mha (Darko et al, 2016).…”

“…These reservoirs act as a source for irrigation water supply and domestic water supply. The groundwater and surface water irrigation in combination recorded a utilized irrigation potential of 87 Mha when compared to total irrigation potential of 140 Mha in 2019 which contributed to the rise in the net irrigated area from nearly 18 per cent to 48 per cent in the recent times [1]. This is made possible through the government interventions at various levels.…”

“…India does not possess any significant irrigation network. Only the states of Punjab and Haryana have proper irrigation infrastructure in place (Skutsch & Rydzewski, 2001) (Jain, Kishore, & Singh, 2019). Agriculture in the rest of the country either survives on monsoons or depends upon the groundwater source (Kumar K. , 2004).…”
