Introduction to
Irrigation
Definition: Irrigation is the artificial
application of water to soil for growing crops.
- Purpose: Ensures adequate moisture, boosts
agricultural productivity, and enhances food
security.
- Types: Includes surface irrigation, drip
irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and subsurface
irrigation.
- Benefits: Increases crop yield, allows farming
in dry areas, and helps manage soil salinity.
- Challenges: Involves water scarcity, high
costs, and risks of waterlogging.
- Modern Techniques: Utilizes technology for
effi cient water management and sustainable
practices.
Types of Irrigation
Systems
• • Surface Irrigation
(Flood Irrigation, Furrow
Irrigation)
• • Drip Irrigation
• • Sprinkler Irrigation
• • Subsurface Irrigation
Water Management in
Irrigation
• - Efficiency: Focuses on maximizing water use
efficiency to minimize waste.
• - Scheduling: Involves planning when and how
much to irrigate based on crop needs and
weather conditions.
• - Techniques: Includes methods like drip
irrigation and scheduling tools to deliver water
directly to plants.
• - Monitoring: Uses sensors and technology to
track soil moisture levels and optimize
irrigation practices.
• - Sustainability: Aims to conserve water
resources and maintain soil health for long-
Challenges in Water
Management
• • Water scarcity
• • Over-irrigation and
waterlogging
• • Soil degradation
• • Pollution from
agricultural runoff
Sustainable Irrigation
Practices
• • Micro-irrigation
techniques (e.g., drip
irrigation)
• • Mulching to reduce
evaporation
• • Sensors and IoT in
precision irrigation
• • Crop rotation and
drought-resistant crops
Water Conservation
Techniques
• • Rainwater harvesting
• • Recycled water for irrigation
• • Conservation tillage
• • Managing evaporation losses
(e.g., night irrigation)
Case Studies
• • Successful examples
(e.g., Israel’s drip
irrigation)
• • Water management
projects in arid regions
Conclusion
• • Summary of key points
• • Importance of
integrated water
resource management
• • Future of irrigation and
climate change
