The two most important resources for the nation's agriculture and economic development are land and water. The major user of water is the agricultural sector. Water is in increasingly greater demand across a range of sectors, residential uses, and agricultural uses. Even today, most of the farmers adopt the ancient method, due to which there is more wastage of water in agriculture. To prevent wastage of water, farmers need to be made more and more aware that water can be saved for the future. More than 80% of the nation's usable water resources are used by agriculture. And the water scarcity will increase and people will face this situation in the future. By implementing modern irrigation techniques in the agricultural sector, the efficiency of water consumption can be improved. The newest technology that can be used in Indian agriculture is micro irrigation. Therefore, it is time to switch from the flood irrigation approach to the micro irrigation technique. In order to prevent soil erosion and water evaporation, micro irrigation is an effective technique for supplying irrigation water directly to the root zone of the plants. Along with irrigation water, it facilitates the use of fertilizers and pesticides. For effective water use, micro irrigation techniques like drip and sprinkler irrigation need to be used. The future potential and current status of micro irrigation technology in Haryana will be discussed in this research paper.
