Answer:
The modern method of irrigation helps to use water economically.
It consists of two types: sprinkler system and drip system.

Drip system: The water falls drop by drop at the position of the roots so it is called as a drip system. Water is not wasted in this system. It is the best technique for watering fruit plants, gardens and tree
Answer:
. Drip Irrigation System
Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation is the most used irrigation system these days. In the drip irrigation, we lay plastic pipes in rows near the crops or plants. These pipes have holes in them. The water seeps from these holes drop by drop, hence the name drip irrigation. Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient irrigation methods as it reduces water wastage in agriculture.
2. Sprinkler System
Sprinkler Irrigation
Sprinkler systems mimic the phenomenon of rain. In sprinkler systems, the pipes carry water to central locations on the farm. The sprinklers placed there, distribute the water across the fields. The sprinkler method is one of the most efficient irrigation methods to irrigate the uneven land for agriculture. In addition, sprinkler systems provide the best coverage regardless of the size of the farm.
