Read through this article, which talks about agriculture in India. You can search for the references to irrigation, particularly in the sections on the Indo-Gangetic Plain and Peninsular India, where it describes the importance of irrigation in these regions. Even though large parts of India are subject to monsoon rains in the summer, there is still a need for irrigation to ensure year-round crops. (Remember, in much of India, is is warm enough to grow things year-round.)\nHope this helps.

I take it you are asking about Landforms.\n\nIndia is a large country so the country has diverse weather, fertility and environment.\n\nIndia extends from the Himalayas in the north, the world's largest mountain range, and the Ganges River.  And it goes all the way south to the tropical Indian ocean.\n\nThe Himalayas form the highest mountain range in the world, and slope southward into a large fertile plain that covers much of India. \n\nThe Ganges is the heartbeat of India and one of the most significant rivers on the planet. \n\nAs far as tourist attractions go it's difficult to provide a brief list of things to see and do\n\nThe not to be missed parts are\n\nThe Taj Mahal, one of the premier destinations on the planet.\n\nAgra Fort; Delhi, and the charms of both the old and new mixing together; \n\nThe beaches and churches of Goa, \n\nThe beautiful Himalayan region.

Sourashtra (alternate names and spellings: Palkar, Sowrashtra, Saurashtra, Saurashtri, Patnuli) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in parts of the Southern Indian State of Tamil Nadu. The Ethnologue puts the number of speakers at 310,000 (1997 IMA), although the actual number could be double this figure or even more.\n\n\nClassification\nSourashtra is a Indo-Aryan language belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family.\n\n\nGeographical Distribution\nThe speakers of the Sourashtra language, known as Sourashtrians, maintain a predominant presence in Madurai, a city in the southern part of Tamil Nadu. Though official figures are hard to come by, it is believed that the Sourashtra population makes up for about one-third of the city's total population. They are present in significant numbers in the cities of Dindigul, Paramakudi, Erode, Palani, Rajapalayam, Nilakottai, Salem, Thanjavur, Trichy, Kumbakonam,Thiruvarur and Kottar (Nagercoil). A sizable number is also found in Chennai, Bangalore and other parts of India, but this presence is largely due to small-scale migrations in the last few decades from one of the aforesaid traditional Sourashtrian settlements.\n\nIt is also believed that Sourashtra speakers exist, albeit in small numbers, in other southern states such as Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. However, in the absence of any reliable facts to substantiate this claim, this remains a speculation at best.\n\n\nHistory\nThough there is little historical evidence available to support the argument that the Sourashtrians lived in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat in Western India, folklore, and recent linguistic and genetic researches have been able to establish that this region was indeed once the habitat of the Sourashtrians. However, their language has more similarities with Marathi and Konkani, both Indo-Aryan languages of Western India, than it does with Modern Gujarati, the language of present-day Gujarat. Linguists have been able to explain why it is so: Both Sourashtra and Gujarati branched off from a common parent, and have since taken completely different paths to modernity. Gujarati came under the influence of Persian, Arabic, many tribal languages and Hindi, whereas Sourashtra, taking off from Gujarat before it had made any Muslim contact, was influenced by Marathi, Konkani, Kannada, Telugu, and finally, Tamil. It has been acknowledged that Persian and Arabic have had only limited influence on Marathi and Konkani, and this is why they still retain a good amount of vocabulary and grammar derived from Sanskrit, as compared to other daughter languages of Sanskrit. It is possible that the vocabulary and grammar shared between Modern Sourashtra and Marathi is what was originally derived from Sanskrit.\n\nThe southward flight of the Sourashtrians seems to have been triggered by the frequent Muslim invasions of their homeland and the instability caused by it. No details are available as to whether it was a mass-migration and when it took place. They found the safe haven they were looking for in the Vijayanagar Kingdom, with its capital at Hampi in present-day Karnataka, which was then expanding southwards. They, whose traditional occupation was weaving, were able to impress upon the Emperor with their weaving skills, and soon were elevated to the position of Royal Weavers. Telugu and Kannada were the court languages, though other languages such as Sanskrit and Tamil were also in use. It was during this period that Sourashtra started absorbing Telugu and Kannada words into its lexicon.\n\nVijayanagar rulers had the practice of appointing Governors, known as Nayaks, to manage far-flung regions of the empire. When Madurai and Thanjavur were annexed to the empire, Governors were appointed to administer the new territories. It is believed that a part of the Sourashtra community moved to Madurai and Thanjavur to serve the Governors.\n\n\n\n\n****\nHey why di they suspend you from yahoo\n*****
