Rain has a dramatic effect on agriculture as it forms one of the effective ways of watering in many parts of the country. While a regular rain pattern is vital for crop health, too much or too little rainfall can prove harmful to crops. Analyzing the formation of rain will help in reviving agricultural...
With a decrease in the trend of rainfall, groundwater becomes the primary source of water. Most of the regions are overly dependent on it resulting in a consumption rate higher than its natural replenishable rate causing water tables to decline. The decline in groundwater level in wells in India is estimated to be 61...

Water budget analyses is an approach that emphasis on the transport, storage, and utilization of water on the surface of the earth. Ensuring sustainable water supplies requires knowledge about the movement of water(hydrologic cycle). Water budgets are tools that water users and managers use to quantify the hydrologic cycle. A water budget accounts for...

Accounting for about 70 percent of freshwater withdrawal, irrigation is probably the largest use of water globally. Unlike other uses, only half of the water used for irrigation is reusable. The remaining is lost by evaporation, evapotranspiration, or is lost in transit, by a leaking pipe. With an increasingly scarce water supply, irrigation management...
