The department is installing supplementary water pumps to strengthen water management capacity during the dry season across various regions, supporting efficient water delivery to agricultural areas within irrigation zones so farmers have adequate and sufficient water supply. The department is also upgrading water management in irrigation systems to handle both the upcoming dry and rainy seasons.
