Abstract

The crop production of an area is largely dependent on the water facilities available in that area. This paper studies the impact of irrigation on cropping Intensity of different districts of Assam from the year 2009-10 to the year 2018-19 using the data collected from the different official government sites. The compound annual growth rate and the coefficient of variation were calculated for the cropping intensity and irrigation intensity and their relationship is found out through Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient. There exists a moderate positive relationship between cropping intensity and irrigation intensity.
