INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Drip irrigation is the most used irrigation system these days. In the drip irrigation, we lay plastic pipes in rows near the crops or plants. These pipes have holes in them. The water seeps from these holes drop by drop, hence the name drip irrigation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Drip irrigation is the most water-efficient irrigation system, with up to 90% water use efficiency especially compared to sprinkler systems, flood irrigation or center pivot irrigation. Because drip irrigation is a low-pressure method for delivering crop watering needs, it can also have low energy requirements.

Detailed explanation-3: -The different types of irrigation include-sprinkler irrigation, surface irrigation, drip irrigation, sub-irrigation and manual irrigation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Drip irrigation achieves 95-100% water use efficiency. As a comparison, sprinkler systems have 80-85% water use efficiency and flood and furrow are 60-70% efficient. Efficiency is defined as the effectiveness of the system on crop performance and eventually on yield.
