Hold of irrigation on farm economy in Gujarat
Abstract
The authors took up the study of two talukas of Gujarat, Anand and Dholka, to examine the impact of irrigation facility on cropping pattern and production. Anand has 80 per cent irrigated area and Dholka less than 15 per cent. The study showed that due to the intensive use of water, cropping intensity was higher by 27 per cent in Anand than in Dholka and due to lesser availability of water for irrigation, farmers in Dholka did not take the risk of increasing outlay on various inputs.
