Water Management

Water management involves controlling water resources to minimize damage from flooding through dams and levees, while maximizing efficient use of limited water supplies, such as through irrigation systems for agriculture. There are two main components of water management: irrigation, which is the artificial application of water to soil for plant growth, and drainage, which is the removal of excess water from fields. Proper water management is important due to non-uniform water distribution throughout the year and factors like different water needs of crops, uncertain rainfall, intensive cropping demands, and high-yielding varieties requiring more water.

Water Management is the control and movement of water resources to

minimize damage to life and property and its maximize efficient


beneficial use. Good water management of dams and levees reduces
the risk of harm due to flooding. Irrigation water management systems
make the most efficient use of limited water supplies for agriculture.
There are two major components of Water
Management:
1. Irrigation
2. Drainage

Irrigation is the artificial application of water


to the soil essential for plants growth.

Drainage is the removal of excess water from


the field
Non-Uniform Distribution of water round the year
WHY TO MANAGE THE WATER
Different water regime (Level) of
Crops
Uncertainly of Rainfall
Intensive Cropping to meet the food
requirements
Cultivation of high yielding varieties
require more water
