Irrigation would cost hundreds of billions, but it would generate serious extra income
A 180-page study was conducted by the Agricultural Research Institute on the development of irrigation. Researchers took into account the water needs of plants, soil conditions and water resources, and quantified how much the investment would cost in the theoretically irrigated area if realized.
The authors of the study in all important cultures have figured how much of the area has been irrigated at present and how much it could be irrigated. According to this, the artificial water supply could be realized on 500 thousand hectares. (agrarszektor.hu)
