Optimising irrigation water use in Punjab agriculture: Role of crop diversification and technology
A linear programming model has been formulated to suggest the optimal cropping pattern
for maximising net returns and ensuring significant savings of groundwater with the aim of
sustaining groundwater use in the Punjab agriculture. The dominance of paddy-wheat crop
rotation has led to overexploitation of ground water resulting in rapid decline of water table
in the entire state. The existing ground water draft for irrigation is 3.41 m ha m whereas the
annual ground water availability is 2.03 m ha m, indicating a deficit of 1.38 m ha m of …
