Answer:
sprinkle system and drip irritation method
Explanation:
The different types of irrigation systems, how they work and the benefits of each:
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
Sprinkler irrigation is a method of applying water to the land in a manner that mimics natural rainfall. Water is distributed through a system of pipes, usually by pumping, and is then sprayed into the air through sprinklers that break up the water into small drops that uniformly fall to the ground.
The benefits of sprinkler irrigation include:
Suitable for varying sizes of land—both large and small plots.
Better able to direct water flow to specific areas of a property, avoiding water loss.
Ability to administer fertilizers and chemical treatments through the system for even application.
DRIP IRRIGATION
Also known as trickle irrigation, the drip irrigation method allows water to drip slowly to the roots of plants through narrow tubes equipped with emitters. This method allows water to be delivered directly to the base of the plant. Drip irrigation conserves water and efficiently irrigates non-turf areas such as flowerbeds, ground cover, street medians, vegetable and perennial gardens, and hanging baskets.
The benefits of drip irrigation include:
Saves time, money, labor and water because the system is so efficient.
Prevents fungal disease by minimizing water contact with the leaves, stems, and fruit of plants.
Discourages weed growth because water is only delivered where it’s needed
Increases effectiveness on uneven ground.
