Availability of adequate water for irrigation has changed the cropping pattern of various regions. Many farmers because of the increased availability of water have switched over to the cultivation of water intensive commercial crops such as  jute, cotton and tea, rather than food grains such as bajra, wheat and ragi.

The changed cropping pattern has affected the ecological balance of some of the regions as increased irrigation has led to salinity of soil. This has reduced the fertility of the soil.
