INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -The frequency of irrigation of crops is higher in summers as water evaporates through the transpiration process as well as through soil pores so evaporation is at a faster rate hence it is required to overcome the loss of water. Q.

Detailed explanation-2: -During summer, plants transpire faster than other seasons and also water evaporation is rapid during summers. Hence, to ensure uninhibited growth of plants, frequent irrigation is a necessity in summers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: In summer, the frequency of irrigation of crop increases as the rate of evaporation from the soil and leaves becomes higher. The time and frequency of irrigation diversify from season to season, crop to crop, and soil to soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -During summer we drink more water to keep up the water content in our body because water is lost through sweat when the body tries to cool down. Knowing that our body carries 70 per cent water, not drinking sufficient water, up to at least 8 glasses, will lead to health problems including heat-related illnesses.

Detailed explanation-5: -It’s much better to give plants a deep watering once a week, hydrating the ground to a soil depth of five or six inches. A light watering is likely to evaporate within a day or so, while deep watering provides plants with moisture that will stay available in the soil for several days.
