Detailed explanation-1: -Improves soil fertility: Irrigation helps in maintaining the soil moisture which helps in the germination of seeds and implements growth and helps in good yield. It preserves the structure of topsoil. Produce hydroelectric power: It can be utilized to produce hydroelectric power.
Detailed explanation-2: -Advantages of irrigation: (i) It is necessary to provide sufficient moisture for the germination of seeds. (ii) Irrigation of crop plants is essential for the growth and elongation of roots of the crop plants. (iii) It is necessary to increase the number of aerial branches in crop plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Because good irrigation has uniform water distribution for both light irrigation and heavy irrigation. It also reduces conveyance and labor losses. It also facilitates mechanized farming. So, these advantages lead to increased yield.
Detailed explanation-4: -It provides freshwater to the crop plants. It provides moisture for the germination of seeds. It is essential for the growth and elongation of the roots of the crop plants. It is essential for the absorption of nutrient elements by the crop plants from the soil.
