define different process of irrigation
Answers
Irrigation is the application of controlled amounts of water to plants at needed intervals. Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of less than average rainfall. Irrigation also has other uses in crop production, including frost protection,[1] suppressing weed growth in grain fields[2] and preventing soil consolidation.[3] In contrast, agriculture that relies only on direct rainfall is referred to as rain-fed or dry land farming.
Irrigation systems are also used for cooling livestock, dust suppression, disposal of sewage, and in mining. Irrigation is often studied together with drainage, which is the removal of surface and sub-surface water from a given area.
Irrigation is the process of watering the crops and plants on large scale.
There are different types of irrigations,
() Surface irrigation - Water is distributed over the land by using gravity.
() Drip irrigation - In this types of irrigation, the water is delivered to the pants from underground as there shall be no water loss by evaporation.
() Sprinker system - water is distributed by spinklers, not much water is wasted nd controls the water loss by evaporation.
