4. ______ is to supply land with water by counterfeit means relying upon the necessities of the yields.
5. storage of rain water is known as ______.

Explanation:

1.

We need a term related to water use for a purpose. "irrigation" fits as it's about water supply for land, and in prior days, water supplies were for irrigation (and storage). The lowercase "irrigation" is appropriate here as it's not the start of a sentence.

Water loss in wells can happen via evaporation (the process of liquid turning to gas). So "evaporation" is the right term to limit water loss through this process.

India has a large agricultural base, so "agriculture" is the term as the nation is based on agriculture (farming, etc.).

Answer:

irrigation
