[amp_mcq option1=”Bihar” option2=”Haryana” option3=”Uttar Pradesh” option4=”Punjab” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (d) Punjab.<\/p>\n
Punjab has the highest area under tube-well irrigation in India. In 2019-20, the area under tube-well irrigation in Punjab was 3.2 million hectares, which is about 70% of the total cultivated area in the state. The high level of tube-well irrigation in Punjab is due to a number of factors, including the state’s relatively dry climate, the availability of groundwater, and the high cost of surface water irrigation.<\/p>\n
Bihar, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh are also major states for tube-well irrigation, but their levels of tube-well irrigation are lower than Punjab’s. In 2019-20, the area under tube-well irrigation in Bihar was 1.8 million hectares, the area under tube-well irrigation in Haryana was 1.6 million hectares, and the area under tube-well irrigation in Uttar Pradesh was 2.4 million hectares.<\/p>\n
The high level of tube-well irrigation in Punjab has a number of benefits. It allows farmers to grow a variety of crops, even during dry periods. It also helps to improve crop yields and reduce the risk of crop failure. However, tube-well irrigation also has some negative impacts. It can lead to the depletion of groundwater resources and the contamination of groundwater with agricultural chemicals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
