Answer 1

Answer:

Modern Methods of Irrigation :

The methods of irrigation can be divided into four main types. These include – Surface irrigation, sprinkler, drip and subsurface.

These modern irrigation techniques have been discussed in detail below –

Surface irrigation –

It is one of the most common methods of irrigation. Here water is applied to the soil with the help of gravity. Since the distribution of water is not regulated, surface irrigation is also known as flood irrigation.

Basin and border irrigation – Both of these techniques involve water running through the soil. However, in basin irrigation, water is supplied to a field which may result in ponding for a while. on the other hand, water is made to flow through ditches running through the ground with a drainage system at the end.

Sprinkler –

in case of this irrigation system, water is sprinkled or sprayed on plants. The effect is similar to rainfall. A sprinkler irrigation system requires sprinklers, laterals, mainlines, sub mainlines and pump unit.
