Agricultural practices relating to irrigation have the tendency to reduce the water level of river basins.
<h3>What are the effects of irrigation agriculture on river basins?</h3>
Irrigation agriculture requires that crops are watered artificially and this requires a water source. Hence, waters in river basins suffer and this leads to a reduction in their levels.
Water quality is impacted by agricultural practices such as the use of agrochemicals and fertilizers. Agrochemicals are washed into water bodies and this impacts biodiversity life in water.
One conservation strategy to reduce the impact of this kind of agricultural practice would be to practice organic farming. A farming practice that is devoid of using agrochemicals or the ones that are not poisonous to biodiversity and are biodegradable.
