Initially the objective of irrigation was confined to supply water to crops whenever it requires. Many regions of the earth experiences uneven distribution and irregularity of rainfall. There are densely populated regions on the earth surface depends on agriculture. In such regions, provision of irrigation is important aspect. Irrigation is necessary in traditional agriculture to overcome droughts scarcity of rainfall. In modern agriculture need of irrigation increased tremendously. Irrigation constitutes one of the most effective technical means of the raising agricultural production in the developing countries. So in the present research paper, the major objective is to understand the irrigation pattern in Solapur District.
In the present paper the cropping pattern in Sindhudurg district is outlined, followed by the discussion on the area under individual crops. Bhatia’s method is used for concentration of selected crops. In this paper an attempt is made to study the changes in crop concentration in the study region. There has been a significant variation in the area patterns of the crop concentration in the study region. The indices of crop concentration area calculated for two periods i.e. 1981-86 and 1996-2001 and are given in the (table 1.1).The spatial variations in the degree of crop concentration area are found to be the result of the different interaction such as physiographic, climatic, hydrological, socio-economic and technological factors in organizational of an area.
