INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Subsurface drip irrigation is a low-pressure, high efficiency irrigation system that uses buried drip tubes or drip tape to meet crop water needs. Subsurface irrigation saves water and improves yields by eliminating surface water evaporation and reducing the incidence of weeds and disease.

Detailed explanation-2: -Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the soil through various systems of tubes, pumps, and sprays.

Detailed explanation-3: -Drip or trickle irrigation: Drip or trickle is a special type of subsurface method in which water is applied beneath the land surface near the roots of the plants in the form of small drops. The components of drip irrigation systems are the control head, pipe network, and emitters.

Detailed explanation-4: -Surface irrigation (flood irrigation): It is most common form of irrigation where water is applied and distributed over the soil surface by gravity. Three major types of surface irrigation are level basin, furrow, and border strip.
