Rain-fed agriculture is farming which doesn’t use irrigation instead and relies solely on rain water. Irrigation was a major part of agriculture for almost 5,000 years, & various cultures throughout the world have developed it separately.
Irrigation assists in the development of grain production, landscape upkeep, and also the re – vegetation for degraded soils particularly desert areas also during seasons with below-average rains. In contrast to frost protection, weed reduction in grain fields, and soil compaction control, irrigation serves other objectives in crop production. Irrigation also is utilized for animal cooling, dust control, sewage disposal, & mining. Irrigation & drain, or even the disposal of surface and groundwater from a particular place, are frequently investigated simultaneously.

Conclusion
Archaeological research has shown signs of irrigation in regions where natural rainfall is insufficient to maintain crops in rain – fed agriculture. The technique was first used in the 6th millennium of Khuzistan, which is located inside the south-west of modern-day Iran. Choga Mami, near the Iranian border in Iraq, is thought to be the earliest site that exhibits canal irrigation in action, around 6000 BCE.
Irrigation was employed to manipulate water on the alluvial plains of an Indus valley, and its usage is thought to have started approximately 4500 BC, greatly increasing the size and profitability of their agricultural communities. Ancient Indus Valley Civilization created advanced irrigation systems, including 3000 BCE man made reservoirs at Girnar as well as a 2600 BCE canal irrigation facilities. Agriculture on a massive scale is undertaken, with just an enormous system of canals in use for irrigation.
