INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Drip irrigation is known to be the most efficient irrigation methods with 95-100% water use efficiency. This is compared to sprinkler systems that have 80-85% water use efficiency or flood and furrow that are 60-70% efficient.

Detailed explanation-2: -In many cases, drip irrigation is more sustainable due to how precisely water can be delivered without much waste. Spray irrigation is generally less efficient and loses about 35 percent of water applied but can be made more efficient by using hanging pipes instead of spraying water at high pressures.

Detailed explanation-3: -The best sustainable irrigation technique by far is drip irrigation. Drip irrigation is a system of pumps and tubes. The tubes are either suspended above the soil or planted alongside the roots of the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Drip irrigation is particularly suitable for water of poor quality (saline water). Dripping water to individual plants also means that the method can be very efficient in water use. For this reason it is most suitable when water is scarce.

Detailed explanation-5: -Drip or trickle irrigation is one of the most efficient irrigation systems. It minimizes wastage of water by supplying the amount of water required by the plant directly to its roots.
