The state has made adequate arrangements for water drainage, he said, adding steps have been initiated to enable the canal water to reach the tail end through the lift irrigation system and pumps.In the past three years, about 8-10 feet of water is there in the Masani dam in Rewari district and this has happened for the first time, said the Chief Minister.He said that although there are some districts where irrigation area is less and a proposal is being made for reallocation of the water share of these areas to others. This will ensure proper use of water, added Khattar.He said the government is also promoting micro-irrigation through MICADA (Micro Irrigation and Command Area Development Authority) in the areas having water scarcity.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
