3. Explain about the modern and traditional methods of irrigation. short answer
Answers
Answer:
Modern Methods of Irrigation
Crops require water at regular interval of time for proper growth and development. This supply of water to the crops at regular intervals is known as irrigation. There are two methods of irrigation, namely, traditional and modern. The modern methods of irrigation include:
- Sprinkler System
- Drip System
Traditional Methods of Irrigation
Traditional methods of irrigation are the oldest method used in the earlier years., which are more affordable, efficient than the modern methods. Some of these methods of irrigation are still followed today.
The traditional methods of irrigation include the following:
- Check Basin Method
- Furrow Irrigation Method
- Strip Irrigation Method
- Basin Irrigation Method

Answer:
Hii,
Explanation:
1) Sprinkler Irrigation :-
Water is distributed from a central location by overhead high-pressure sprinklers or from sprinklers from the moving platform.
2) Surface Irrigation :-
In this system, no irrigation pump is involved. Here, water is distributed across the land by gravity
3) Localized Irrigation :-
In this system, water is applied to each plant through a network of pipes under low pressure.
1) Check Basin Method :-
It is one of the best methods of irrigation for levelled fields. The field is divided into basins according to the water capacity. A small drain connects the basin. The basin size is as per the water inflow. The topmost place in the field is the main source of water.
2) Furrow Irrigation :-
Furrow irrigation is very prominent in crops planted in rows. ‘Dol’ (meaning: to sprout) is formed along the sides of the rows and the water flows between two ‘Dols’.
3) Strip Irrigation :-
The fields are divided into strips of different sizes. The strips are constructed according to the slope. The structure of the land determines the size of the strips. It is an easy irrigation method and requires less labour.
