One of the questions asked was How much has your farms area under cultivation with crops increased since the dam was built? Identify the population relevant to this study? all farmers in Nagarparkar farmers in Pakistan 104 farmers in Nagarparkar change in cultivation area

____________ STATE HAS MORE DAMS IN INDIA.Question 7Answera.Maharastrab.Andhra Pradeshc.Assamd.Gujarat

highlight the main methods irrigation methods adopted in pakistan and how do they contribute agricultural productivity in the country?

Economic benefits of building large dams include which of the following?I. Storage of water for agriculture and domestic useII. Controlling floods upstreamIII. Production of renewable energy

Damming the Kaveri River would provide irrigation for the dry land in its upstream areas; unfortunately, a dam would reduce agricultural productivity in the fertile land downstream by reducing the availability and quality of the water there. The productivity loss in the downstream area would be greater than the productivity gain upstream, so building a dam would yield no overall gain in agricultural productivity in the region as a whole.The reasoning in the argument above most closely parallels that in which one of the following?radio_button_uncheckedDisease-causing bacteria in eggs can be destroyed by overcooking the eggs, but the eggs then become much less appetizing; health is more important than taste, however, it is better to overcook eggs than not to do so.radio_button_uncheckedIncreasing the price of transatlantic telephone calls will discourage many private individuals from making them. But since most transatlantic telephone calls are made by businesses, not by private individuals, a rate increase will not reduce telephone company profits.radio_button_uncheckedA new highway will allow suburban commuters to reach the city more quickly, but not without causing increased delays within the city that will more than offset any time saved on the highway. Therefore, the highway will not reduce suburban commuters’ overall commuting time.radio_button_uncheckedDoctors can prescribe antibiotics for many minor illnesses, but antibiotics are expensive, and these illnesses can often be cured by rest alone. Therefore, it is better to rest at home than to see a doctor for these illnesses.

Evaluate the extent to which different strategies used to increase agricultural production in Pakistan have been successful. Give reasons to support your judgement and refer to examples you have studied. You should consider different points of view in your answer
