this is to save the important and expensive species of plants which are becoming rare and stop the blowing away of soil (soil erosion.)
IRRIGATION IN Pakistan
Before starting my essay i want to tell you what does irrigation mean ,Irrigation can described as the act of artificially applying water to soil to allow plant growth. This can also include applying water to a lawn or garden. There are many types of irrigation where the most common are the hose and press pump methods
Irrigation is useful becauseIt brings more water to areas that would naturally not have that amount of moisture available to grow crops.
Irrigation in its most common definition is the watering system used to grow crops.
Pakistan is an agricultural economy but there is very little or no rainfalll in most places so irrigation becomes necessary to support the agricultural base.
Pakistan is highly dependent on agriculture, which in turn is dependent on water. Of the79.6 million hectares of land that makeup Pakistan, 20 million are available for agricultural. Of those 20 million hectares, 16 million are dependent on irrigation. It isestimated that up to 90% of Pakistan's agriculture is dependent on irrigation. An evenmore important fact is that many of Pakistan's industries are agro-based, such as thetextiles industry
The main reason behind it is that Pakistan is quite an agricultural country(much of Pakistan's population is related to agriculture). Our agricultural products not only meet the
nation's requirements but are also exported to generate revenue for the country.
So the amount of food, water, etc. can be even.
IN pakistan irrigation is also used for farms and gardens
In pakistan most large dams are built in the North, but small ones are mainly in the middle of pakistan.
Three main dams Mangla, Tarbela and Warsak were constructed for the purpose of generating electricity and irrigating agricultural land. In addition, there are 23barrages/head works/syphons; main irrigation canals are 45, which have extended up to40,000 miles. Similarly, there are 90,000 water courses, which are extended up to one million miles.
IN pakistan barrages needed to stop monsoon flows from being wasted
There are seven major Barrages of Pakistan:
1. Tounsa Barrage
2. Jinnah Barrage
3. Chashma Barrage
4. Guddu Barrage
5. Sukkur Barrage
6. Kotri barrage
7. Rasool Barrage
A barrage is built across the river. Iron gates are fixed under the bridge. In this way the water of the river is diverted to canals. Gates can be controlled by machines for closing and opening. The quantity of water flowing in these canals can be increased with the help of three gates.
a system dividing the agricultural land into sections by mud barriers as shown in the picture on the second page. The water flowed into the beds by means of canal; each canal brings the water to about eight different beds.
there are - 45 main canals
and about 120, 000 tertiary channels.
The main reason behind it is that Pakistan is quite an agricultural country(much of Pakistan's population is related to agriculture). Our agricultural products not only meet the nation's requirements but are also exported to generate revenue for the country.
Getting water to plants is necessary no matter where the plants currently are. Plants need water to grow and flourish. In Pakistan, because the climate is drier, irrigation is necessary because it is unlikely that there will be sufficient ground-water without irrigation (unlike Seattle where there is a much higher likelihood of there being a large amount of groundwater).
irrigation can be improved in pakistan if irrigation department check canal's on regular basis and make arrangements of water thieves
because Pakistan is a dry country
as Pakistan is the third largest agricultural country it's economy depends on agricultue.Rivers are the most important source of water which is used in agriculture and for the process of irrigation
name the different types of Irrigation system in Pakistan?

Pakistan has the best irrigation system in the world.
pakistan
Pakistan has the world's largest canal based irrigation system
Pakistan has the world's largest canal system and the same is the main method of irrigation utilized by most of farmers in Pakistan. Certain streams are taken out from canals of Pakistan which ultimately reach channels, and these channels serve the purpose of delivering canal water to fields. Tube Wells are one of other methods of irrigation used in Pakistan.
Irrigation
when India diverted the water to the the rajastan desert after partition there was no dam to improve the irrigation in punjab, bahawalpur and lower indus. thus 8 million acres of land in Pakistan were affected by this loss of irrigation water. so to give pakistan the irrigation water indus water treaty was necessary
It lets u know the importance of irrigaton for Crops.
they are important because it helps in irrigation
