CHAPTER 4 Irrigation - Planning Commission
CHAPTER 4 Irrigation Introduction The Irrigation sector in Maharashtra is one of the largest in the country, both in terms of the number of large dams and the live storage capacity. Nevertheless, the Irrigation sector of Maharashtra has been facing multifarious problems. While the water availability for the future use of Irrigation has been reducing at a fast rate, the demand for water for Irrigation purposes has been alarmingly increasing due to agricultural expansion and intensification. According to the estimate of the Maharashtra Water and Irrigation Commission (GoM, 1999), water available from both surface and groundwater can irrigate at most about 60 per cent of the cultivated land.
