As there is significant use of water for irrigation, we need to increase water use efficiency in the agriculture sector. This has been made possible by adopting PDN as it overcomes the lacunas of the flow irrigation system viz land acquisition, lavish use of water from the farmers in the upper reaches of the canal and in high cost in hilly areas."
