SIGNIFICANCE OF MONSOON RAINS
The monsoons are the single largest factor affecting the Indian economy as agriculture is directly dependent upon the monsoon rains. Four-fifths of the country's cropped area depend upon these rains. The remaining area is also irrigated with rainwater, stored in tanks and reservoirs. The cropping pattern is also determined by the quantity of rainfall. And so, the erratic nature of the monsoon greatly affects the agricultural output. Rainfall is important for generation of hydro-electricity which makes up for two-fifths of the total power generation.
