Question

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{Answer}$

The supply of water to crops at different intervals is called irrigation. The two methods of irrigation in which water is conserved are the sprinkler system and the drip system.

(1) Sprinkler system: This system is mostly used on uneven lands where water is available in smaller quantities. In this system, perpendicular pipes having rotating nozzles on the top are joined to the main pipeline at regular intervals. When water is allowed to flow through the main pipe under pressure with the help of a pump, it escapes from the rotating nozzles. It is sprinkled on the crop as if it is raining. It is very useful for sandy soil.
