Give a simple explanation about drip and sprinkler system in irrigation
Answers
Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone and minimize evaporation. Drip irrigation systems distribute water through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. Depending on how well designed, installed, maintained, and operated it is, a drip irrigation system can be more efficient than other types of irrigation systems, such as surface irrigation or sprinkler irrigation.
An Irrigation sprinkler (also known as a water sprinkler or simply a sprinkler) is a device used to irrigate agricultural crops, lawns, landscapes, golf courses, and other areas. They are also used for cooling and for the control of airborne dust.[citation needed] Sprinkler irrigation is the method of applying water in a controlled manner in way similar to rainfall. The water is distributed through a network that may consist of pumps, valves, pipes, and sprinklers.[1] Irrigation sprinklers can be used for residential, industrial, and agricultural usage. It is useful on uneven land where sufficient water is not available. It is useful for sandy soil. The perpendicular pipes, having rotating nozzles on top, are joined to the main pipeline at regular intervals of time. When water is allowed to flow through the main pipe under pressure with the help of pump it, escapes from the rotating nozzles. It gets sprinkled on the crop.
Answer:
sprinkler system:-
➡️ Device use to irrigate agricultural crops, lawns , landscapes , golf courses, and other areas.
➡️ Used for cooling and for the control of airborne dust.
➡️ When water is pressurized through the main pipe it escapes from the rotating nozzles just like a rain.
Drip irrigation:-
➡️ It is the best technique for watering fruit plants gardens and trees.
➡️ It is best technique for water conservation.
➡️ Connected by heat work of pipes and reaches to the base of the plant drop by drop.
