(i) Increase water table

(iii) Increase plant cover

(ii) Reduce wastage of water

(iv) None of these

Answer:-

Drip irrigation is a measure to reduce wastage of water.

Answer 2

Drip Irrigation:

• Drip irrigation is a measure to reduce wastage of water.
• Drip irrigation or trickle irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface.
• The drip irrigation, farmers can produce high yields while saving on water as well as fertilizers , energy and even crop protection products.
• Drip irrigation not only delivers greater ROI compared to other of irrigation methods, it also gives farmers an efficient and simple ways to operate their farms:

                 Higher consistent quality yields.

                 Huge water saving: no evaporation, no run off, no waste.

                 100% land utilization: drip irrigates uniformly in any topography and soil type .

                 Energy saving: Drip irrigation works on low pressure.

                 Efficient use of fertilizer and crop.

Importance of drip irrigation:

• Reduces impact of drought and climate change on food production.
• Avoid contamination of ground water and rivers caused by fertilizer leaching.
• Supports rural communities, reduce poverty, reduce migration to cities.
