Detailed explanation-1: -Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient methods for delivering water to crops with minimal waste. Currently, it is used on less than 2 percent of irrigated land in the world but it can reduce water use by 30 to 70 percent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Yes, sprinkler system is wasteful. Explanation: Sprinkler system of irrigation wastes a lot of water, as it sprinkles water over plants for a long time.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the drip system of irrigation, water falls drop by drop near the roots of plants. This helps in preventing the wastage of water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Benefits of drip irrigation Unlike FMI, the drip method supplies water directly to the root zone of a crop through a network of pipes and emitters. Since it supplies water directly to the crop, rather than the land around, water losses occurring through evaporation and distribution are significantly reduced.
