Irrigation
Types of Irrigation:
Surface Irrigation
Water is distributed over and across land by gravity, no mechanical pump involved.
Irrigation Sprinkler
Water is distributed by overhead high-pressure sprinklers or guns from a central location in the field or from sprinklers on moving platforms.
Center Pivot irrigation
Water is distributed by a system of sprinklers that move on wheeled towers in a circular pattern. This system is common in flat areas of the United States.
Subirrigation
Water is distributed across land by raising the water table, through a system of pumping stations, canals, gates, and ditches. This type of irrigation is most effective in areas with high water tables.
Drip Irrigation
A type of localized irrigation in which drops of water are delivered at or near the root of plants. This type of irrigation minimises evaporation and runoff.
What is irrigation?
"the supply of water to land or crops to help growth, typically by means of channels."
Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of less than average rainfall.
Irrigation is the watering of land to make it ready for agriculture. If you want to start a strawberry farm in the desert, irrigation will be necessary. ... The word irrigation is also used in medicine to describe the process of washing out a wound before dressing it.
Management Strategies
to limit water wastage we can only allow people to irrigate at certain times during the and having water caps so that there is no unneeded water used.
Irrigation helps to reduce harmful microorganisms and factors that might cause seed decay and soil damage.
Precision irrigation can help to grow abundant crops in land even if there is a drought, it also requires very little water.
