Modern methods of irrigation |
|
|
Basin irrigation |
It is a kind of surface irrigation. The land is surrounded with embankments in the form of a basin. Basins are flooded with water. It is used for crops which require a large amount of water to grow. |
|
Furrow irrigation |
It is a kind of surface irrigation. Small channels or furrows are created along the field length between crop rows. It is used for crops which do not require much water. |
|
Drip irrigation |
Water is supplied through perforated pipes. Pipes are placed in rows between the plants close to the roots. It is the best method for water-scarce regions because a lot of water is saved. It is used for fruit orchards, gardens and trees. |
|
Sprinkle irrigation |
Sprinklers or spray guns are attached to a large hosepipe at regular intervals to spray water. It is suitable for all types of crops. |
