Questions and instructions

Literal question
What percentage of the land you own is irrigated (as opposed to rainfed)? (in Percentage)
Interviewer instructions
Questions 8-9 ask about the percentage of the land owned which is irrigated, the percentage of irrigated land which is irrigated year-round, and the mode of irrigation. "Irrigated" means that the plots receive water through artificial means, like canals or channels made by people; the source of the water is irrelevant: it can be from wells or from natural sources such as springs, streams, rivers, etc. "Rainfed" means that the plots receive water solely from rainfall or springs without any human construction to assist. In Question 8, use the code for MIXED SOURCE if the water for irrigation comes from more than one source; this may occur either when different sources are used during different seasons, or when more than one source of water is used, either together or one after another during the same season.
