    Abstract

    The globalization of Indian economy encourages more and more domestic and
    foreign direct investments in India and in turn leads to growth of Industries and
    increased urbanization in all environmentally sensitive areas.

    Agriculture is the backbone of India as 70 percent of the country’s population


    depends on it. Further, agriculture is one of the major sectors contributing to the
    economic growth of the country. The development of agriculture depends to a great
    extent on the efficient management of irrigation systems. Wet land irrigation is one of
    the major components of many of the existing irrigation systems.

    Lack of adequate water resources and ever increasing demand of water for various
    needs have been matters of huge concern at present. Further, the need to satisfy the
    food demands of ever increasing population, the poor quality of water bodies due to
    water pollution, ever increasing groundwater overdraft and continuously dwindling
    groundwater tables, increased use of chemical fertilizers for bumper crop production
    are the major factors contributing to increased stress and environmental degradation
    of the wetlands.

    All the above factors show that the need of the hour is micro and macro level study
    on the various wetland ecosystems to understand the problems and possible
    solutions and to disseminate the results so that the sustainability of wetland irrigation
    can be better assured.

    With this background, this research paper concentrates on the environmental


    implications of using lignite mine drainage for irrigation in a tank command area in
