3. Environmental impact of irrigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

   Some irrigation schemes use water wells for irrigation. As a result, the overall water level decreases. This may cause water mining, land/soil subsidence, and, along the coast, saltwater intrusion. Irrigated land area worldwide occupies about 16% of the total agricultural area, and the crop yield of irrigated land is roughly 40% of the total ...

4. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia
