Monsoons are by their very nature errat ic and variable. So, farming cannot entirely depend upon rains. A large portion of the cultivable land in India is not well irrigated and is dependent entirely upon rains. As a result, when rains are late or are inadequate, farmers incur much loss. The loss is more acutely experienced by the small farmers. Failure of rain means failure of crops and a total waste of efforts and resources, both for the individual farmers and for the economy. To avoid such situations, it is important for the entire cultivable area of the country to be brought under the protective shield of proper irrigation facilities. A well-irrigated land produces greater output. The constant availability of water for irrigation provides a sense of stability to the farmer, and also encourages him to practise newer farming methods and patterns to maximise the productivity from his land.

How does irrigation affect soil?
Irrigation can affect soil by altering its moisture content, leading to changes in soil structure and nutrient availability. Over-irrigation can lead to water logging and soil erosion, while under-irrigation can result in soil compaction and reduced plant growth. Proper irrigation management is important to maintain soil health and productivity.
