What is irrigation?
Irrigation is the process of applying controlled amounts of water to plants at needed intervals. Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of less than average rainfall.
Answer:
The process of watering the crops is called irrigation . Two methods of irrigations are [1] Sprinkle system : This system is used on the uneven land where less water is available . The perpendicular pipes , having rotating nozzles on top , are joined to the main pipeline at regular intervals . Water is allowed to flow through main pipe under pressure , which escapes from the rotating nozzles . In this way water gets sprinkled on the crop . [2] Drip irrigation : This system is used to save water as it allows the water to flow drop by drop at the roots of the plants . It is the best technique for watering fruit plants , gardens and trees . Water is not wasted at all .
