These are types of surface irrigation. They differ in the following manner.
Basin irrigation is done predominantly where the field is level and banked or dyked on the sides to prevent runoff. Water in such a filed, once let in to the field, flows through the natural contours and infiltrates into the soil.
Furrow irrigation, on the other hand, is a method carried out on field that is slightly sloping. Trenches or furrows are dug parallel to each other along the slope of the field. Water is then introduced on the upper side of the field and left to flow as it infiltrates into the soil.
