From my Delhi desk, good irrigation in canal areas doesn't simply "ruin" land; it's the poor drainage and waterlogging from mismanaged canals that turn fields saline. I've seen the satellite maps of water saturation in Haryana and Punjab. But my mother's hospital bills are paid because our small plot in Meghalaya grows *sohiong* and *jalyn* with just rain and spring water—no canals, no salt, just her knowing the *kylliang* of the hills. The ruin isn't in the water, it's in the not knowing the land like she does.
