Detailed explanation-1: -To irrigate is to water crops by bringing in water from pipes, canals, sprinklers, or other man-made means, rather than relying on rainfall alone. Places that have sparse or seasonal rainfall could not sustain agriculture without irrigation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Irrigation is supplying water to crops at regular intervals. In modern agricultural practices, a sprinkler system is used for irrigation to reduce wastage of water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Drip irrigation is highly effective in dry regions. It minimises wastage of water by supplying the amount of water required by the plant to its roots.
