The introduction of Green Revolution Agriculture(GRA)had paved the
way for attaining self sufficiency in India, with respect to its
food production. Major important component of GRA for increasing
production is irrigation. Due to GRA, the ground water resources
are exploited all over the country almost to its maximum
potential.The combination of two major sectors (Agriculrure and
Industries) in utilizing the ground waters of Pondicherry region
had resulted in the salinization of water causing huge problems
both for agriculture and industries. Further investigations had
shown that the crops were affected by hydrogen sulphide injury,
which has resulted due to irrigating with sulphate rich water and
submergence for a longer period of time. The source of sulphate in
the ground waters was identified to be the sea water which has
intruded into the ground water due to over exploitation of ground
water aquifers. Keeping all the these points in mind, Agro -
Ecologically sustainable management practices are demonstrated in
this text book to mitigate the poor quality of ground water as well
as to reclaim the sulphate rich soils in the rice bowl region of
coastal Agro Ecosystems.
