Answer: no I wouldn't rely on precipitation.

Explanation:

I wouldn't rely on precipitation because these crops have a very high need for water that only natural source can't suffice.

Irrigation water can be used as a source, can come from groundwater, through springs or wells, surface water, through rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, or even other sources, such as treated wastewater or desalinated water.
