  1. Types of Irrigation Systems: Methods, Applications, and Efficiency

  2. Surface Irrigation • Description: Water is distributed over the soil surface by gravity. • Common Methods: Basin, Border, Furrow irrigation. • Used For: Rice, sugarcane, and other field crops. • Pros: Low cost, simple setup. • Cons: Less efficient, high water loss through evaporation and runoff.

  3. Sprinkler Irrigation • Description: Water is sprayed into the air and falls like rainfall. • Types: Portable, fixed, or center pivot systems. • Used For: Lawns, gardens, and many field crops. • Pros: Suitable for uneven terrain, uniform water distribution. • Cons: Wind drift and evaporation losses.

  4. Drip Irrigation • Description: Water drips slowly to the root zone of plants through emitters or tubing. • Used For: Orchards, vineyards, greenhouses, vegetables. • Pros: Highly efficient (up to 90%), saves water and fertilizer. • Cons: Higher initial cost, requires regular maintenance.

  5. Description: Water is applied below the soil surface, directly to the root zone. • Used For: High-value crops, turf, and greenhouse farming. • Pros: Minimal evaporation, efficient nutrient use. • Cons: Expensive to install, difficult to detect blockages. • Subsurface Irrigation

  6. Center Pivot Irrigation • Description: A mechanized system that rotates around a central pivot, spraying water through sprinklers. • Used For: Large agricultural fields (corn, wheat, soybeans). • Pros: Automated and uniform water distribution. • Cons: High energy cost and unsuitable for small farms.

  7. Description: Sprinkler system that moves laterally across rectangular fields. • Used For: Large, flat farmland. • Pros: Even watering, efficient for large-scale irrigation. • Cons: Requires uniform topography and water supply along the field. • Lateral Move (Linear) Irrigation

  8. Description: Water is applied by human labor using buckets, watering cans, or hoses. • Used For: Small gardens or home landscapes. • Pros: Low cost, easy for small-scale use. • Cons: Labor-intensive and inefficient for large areas. • Manual Irrigation
