Rajasthan has one tenth of land area and five per cent of population of the country. However, its share in surface water resources is below two per cent. Agriculture remains a major occupation for the population of the state. Out of the total irrigated land of State, 69 per cent is irrigated through tube wells and open wells, placing enormous stress on ground water. In contrast, the share of surface irrigation in total gross irrigated area was only 31 per cent. Optimum use of surface water, therefore, assumes tremendous importance in the State.
