Okara, Punjab: Farmers in different parts of Okara district have called on the Irrigation Department to improve canal water distribution, saying that irregular water supplies are affecting crop production.
According to growers, several agricultural areas have experienced water shortages during critical stages of crop development, forcing many farmers to rely on expensive tube wells for irrigation.
Agricultural experts warned that inconsistent irrigation can reduce crop yields and increase production costs, particularly for water-intensive crops such as rice and sugarcane.
Farmers have urged the authorities to ensure fair water distribution, repair damaged canals, and strengthen irrigation infrastructure to meet agricultural needs.
Experts believe that better water management and investment in modern irrigation systems will improve agricultural productivity, conserve water resources, and support long-term sustainable farming in Okara.
