Dr. G. U. Todkari, Shri B. D. Patil

Abstract :

The Solapur District is located in drought prone area, and so rainfall is low . Hence irrigation plays a vital role in agriculture. In 1990–91 the total area from all sources of irrigation was 214567 hectares which later rose to 288736 hectares in 2004 –05. The spatial pattern of irrigation is however, uneven and has been characterized by the changes over time. The success of agriculture is completely dependent on the monsoon. Due to vagaries of monsoon rainfall, even in the rainy season, particularly, when there is long gap in the chain of rainy days assured water supply is one of the conditions, which is very essential for crop growth. In short, in the study region the success of crop production is by and large associated with hydrological conditions. Today’s trend is to consider irrigation as vital input in maximizing the production. The concept of protective irrigation has changed region. So in the present research paper try to understand the ground water sources of irrigation in Solapur District.
