Modern Techniques of Irrigation to Farm

Abstract

Irrigation, often known as watering, is the agricultural practise of applying controlled amounts of water to land to aid in the development of crops, as well as to produce landscaping plants and lawns. Rainfed agriculture is agriculture that does not use irrigation and instead relies solely on direct rainfall. It is the process of artificially hydrating land it does not receive adequate rainfall. It's also the process of applying water to the soil artificially using tubes, pumps, and sprays. Irrigation is commonly employed in locations where rainfall is unpredictable or where dry spells or drought are anticipated. Using a variety of irrigation techniques, water is equally distributed across the entire area. Groundwater from springs or wells, surface water from rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, and even treated wastewater or desalinated water can all be used to irrigate crops. Artificially hydrating land in order to promote crop production and the restorative use of a stream of liquid to flush a bodily component. Streams, lakes, and rivers, as well as groundwater, are the most prevalent sources of irrigation water. Due to evaporation, canal leakage, and percolation below the crop roots, a proportion of irrigation water is lost throughout the passage of irrigation water from the water supply to the plant roots. The scheme's total irrigation needs, which includes these water losses, is gross. The word irrigation efficiency is used to indicate the percentage of irrigation water that is used efficiently vs the percentage that is lost.
