Full or partial control irrigation: equipped area - surface irrigation - sprinkler irrigation - micro-irrigation % of area irrigated from groundwater % of area irrigated from surface water % of the equipped area actually irrigated 2. Spate irrigation area 3. Equipped wetland and inland valley bottoms 4. Other cultivated wetland and inland valley bottoms 5. Flood recession cropping area Total water managed area (1+2+3+4+5) - as % of cultivated area - increase over last 10 years - power irrigated area as % of water managed area |
