Advantages:
1. Suited to complete range of topographies and field dimensions.
2. High irrigation efficiency due to uniform distribution of water.
3. Accurate and easy measurement of water applied.
4. Land leveling is not essential.
5. Soluble fertilizer, herbicides and fungicides can be applied in the irrigation water economically and with little extra equipment.
Limitation:
1. It requires high initial investment.
2. Power requirement is usually high since sprinklers operate with more than 0.5 kg/cm2 water pressure.
3. Fine textured soils that have low infiltration rate can not be irrigated efficiently in host windy area.
4. Loss of water due to evaporation from the area during irrigation.
5. The water must be clean and free of sand, debris and large amounts of dissolve salts.
