dc.description.abstract | "In a country like Nepal where the monsoon is becoming increasingly erratic, the food need of the ever-growing human population cannot be adequately supported by the rain-fed agriculture alone. Certainly, irrigation is the utmost and crucial means of ensuring sustainable agriculture and coping with periods of inadequate rainfall and drought." | en_US |
