Despite utilizing all available water resources for irrigation, approximately half of the cultivated land will still rely on rainfall. With limited scope for expanding cultivated areas, meeting future food demands becomes an immense challenge. It is within this context that the significance of dryland agriculture emerges..Indian agriculture relies heavily on the monsoon, making water crucial for sustainable development. Unequal distribution of the global average rainfall (about 1000 mm) contributes to disparities in agriculture and socio-economic conditions. Around 70% of India‘s agriculture depends on rainfall, producing nearly 44% of the food and supporting 40% of the human and 60% of the livestock population. Even with full irrigation potential, half of cultivated land still relies on rain. Approximately 30% of the country is prone to drought and waterscarcity, posing challenges for rainfed agriculture. Inefficient water use affects other inputs, emphasizing the need for resource management and indigenous systems..This book serves as a valuable resource for | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 关键词 | Rainfed agriculture; Dryland farming; Droughts; Water Harvesting; Water Resource Management | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-8425-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-981-99-8427-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-99-8425-1 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapor |
