Abstract

India is developing country among the world. Most of the people in India depend on agricultural industry. Near about 70% population depends on agriculture. Hence, India's development mostly depends on development of agricultural sector. But it is very difficult to construct big dams across the rivers due to environmental damage and protest of farmers against acquisition of land. Also major or medium irrigation project cannot provide the irrigation benefit to every farmer. Due to scarcity of water for irrigation, one lac farmers did suicide in last ten years in India. If the micro irrigation facilities are provided then there will be considerable recharge of ground water aquifer take place. It will create agricultural reform without causing natural hazard.
