Answer 2

Irrigation means the watering of land to make it ready for agriculture. It is the process of application of water to crops through artificial channels to grow them.

Water is vital for the growth of plants. And, there can be no plants or crops if they do not have access to water in some form. It is, thus, crucial to supply water to crops and plants in time as per their need. The supply of water to plants comes from various water resources. For example,

wells

ponds

lakes

canals

dams and reservoirs 

Importance of Irrigation

Irrigation is necessary for agriculture and farming.

Firstly, it enables growth and photosynthesis in Plants. Plants absorb minerals and nutrients from the soil via their roots. These minerals dissolve in the water present in the soil. Then the water transports these nutrients to all parts of the plant. In this way, it enables growth and photosynthesis.

Secondly, it provides the moisture that is crucial during the germination phase of the plant’s life cycle

Thirdly, it helps increase soil fertility by adding moisture to it. It also makes the land easier to plough.

Lastly, it increases the yield from the farm.
