Expert Answer
- The process of supplying water to crop plants in fields through canals, wells, reservoirs, tube wells etc. is known as irrigation.
- Wells, tube wells, ponds, lakes, dams, rivers and canals are some of the sources of irrigation.
Modern methods of irrigation which conserve water:
Drip irrigation

- Pipes are placed in rows between the plants close to the roots.
