IRRIGATION PATTERN IN JAIPUR DISTRICT OF RAJASTHAN

Water is an essential natural resource for sustaining life and the environment, but over the last few decades’ water quality has deteriorated due to overdevelopment. Water quality is an essential parameter of research when the overall focus is on human-centered sustainable development. Ground water is a major source of drinking water in both rural and urban areas, and in India more than 94% of his demand for drinking water is filled with groundwater. Fluoride and nitrate are important chemical parameters that affect the quality of groundwater. Proper water conservation is beneficial to farmers and helps to cultivate more land. One possible solution to economically utilize these precious natural resources is drip irrigation. This minimizes water and fertilizer losses, increases plant yields and improves profits and product quality. After evaluating the data in this study, it was concluded that urgent corrective actions need to be taken in these areas to protect the population from health problems. It has also been observed that the average yield of vegetable crops per hectare increased significantly after the introduction of the drip irrigation system as farmers earned more income from crop production, demonstrating the positive effects of the drip irrigation system. The article describes irrigation and groundwater patterns in the Jaipur district of Rajasthan.
