This makes it difficult for crops to get the water they need, and irrigation is essential to ensure that they have access to water throughout the year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hilly terrain and rapid runoff:<\/strong> The hilly terrain of Meghalaya also contributes to the need for irrigation. The steep slopes of the hills cause the rainwater to run off quickly, making it difficult for crops to get the water they need. Irrigation helps to slow down the runoff and make it available to crops.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long dry season in some areas:<\/strong> Some areas of Meghalaya experience a long dry season, which can make it difficult for crops to grow. Irrigation helps to provide water to crops during the dry season, which can help to improve crop yields.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel
