• Switching to alternative Switching to alternative dry season crops such as dry season crops such as wheat or onions that wheat or onions that require less irrigation (less require less irrigation (less frequent and smaller frequent and smaller applications of water) applications of water) could alleviate this could alleviate this problem to some extent.problem to some extent.
