Modern method compensates disadvantages of traditional methods and thus helps in proper way of water usage. Modern method involves two systems: Sprinkler system and Drip system. Sprinkler system as its name suggests, sprinkles water over the crop and helps in even distribution of water. This method is much advisable in areas facing water scarcity. Here a pump is connected to pipes which generates a pressure and water is sprinkled through nozzles of pipes. In Drip system, irrigation is done drop by drop exactly at roots using a hose or pipe. This method can also be used in regions where water availability is less.

davanubha: Traditional Method:

In this method, irrigation is done manually. Here, farmer pulls out water from wells or canals by himself or using cattle and carries to farming fields. This method can vary in different regions. Main advantage of this method is that it is cheap but efficiency is poor because even distribution of water is not always possible.

davanubha: Also chances of water loss while carrying is high. Some examples of traditional system are pulley system, lever system, chain pump and dhekli. Among these, pump system is most common and used widely.
