15.4.3 Crop Production and Irrigation Fluctuation
The poor condition of surface water affects the irrigation facilities and opportunities. Area (hectare) under irrigational facilities shows a negative trend from 2000 to
2001 to 2010–2011 (Fig. 15.5b). Without proper irrigation there is hardly any crop
to grow. From 2000–2001 to 2010–2011, the steady decrease in overall crop production can be observed (Fig. 15.5a). 2001–2002 was the normal year, and
