I think you have not visited unirrigated areas in the above mentioned regions. These areas are arid as well without irrigation irrespective of marginally better rainfall. Nothing worthwhile grows just based on rain water. Denying irrigation to these areas citing colonial agreements is harsh on farmers of those regions. Isn't it. Still over 40% (could be more) of area in cauver basin of karnataka is unirrigated. Is this being fair on those farmers?
