INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Light sandy soils are well suited to sprinkler irrigation systems. Sandy soils have a low water storage capacity and a high infiltration rate. They therefore need frequent but small irrigation applications. Under these circumstances, sprinkler are more suitable than surface irrigation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The low irrigation rate of drip irrigation makes it most suitable for both sandy and clay soils. In addition, drip irrigation method has been successfully used with saline water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The best type of irrigation for clay soil is a system of low precipitation rotary head sprinklers, because clay soil absorbs water slowly, and this type of sprinkler will help avoid overwatering.

Detailed explanation-4: -For an uneven ground surface, the irrigation sprinkler system will be best as it does not require investment in levelling procedures. With the help of sprinkler heads like rain falling on the earth, it also conveys water uniformly over the earth.

Detailed explanation-5: -Run the sprinkler system during pre-dawn hours for most efficient watering, as the lawn will lose less moisture to evaporation from the sun and heat. Avoid night watering, though, as watering after dark will cause grass blades to remain moist overnight, making them more susceptible to fungal diseases.
