Detailed explanation-1: -Around 70 percent of freshwater withdrawals go into agriculture. The uses within the sector are very diverse and include mainly irrigation, pesticide and fertilizer application, and sustaining livestock. Further along the value chain, water is used for food preservation (crop cooling, for example) and processing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Modern irrigation systems use reservoirs, tanks, and wells to supply water for crops. Reservoirs include aquifers, basins that collect snowmelt, lakes, and basins created by dams. Canals or pipelines carry the water from reservoirs to fields.
Detailed explanation-3: -Farmers are the pillars of our nation. They work hard to supply food items for everyone living in the nation throughout their lives. In India, nearly two-thirds of the population rely on agriculture for their livelihood. They produce food, fodder and other raw materials, and are the major source of income for a farmer.
