The process of removing salt from sea water for consumption
C
The slow and precise application of water directly to plants
D
Underground layers of rock or sand that contain water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Microirrigation, also known as drip or trickle irrigation, is an irrigation method that drips water slowly onto plant roots, either via the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a system of pipes, valves, tubing, and emitters.

Detailed explanation-2: -Drip irrigation is a method of irrigation in which water is supplied to the plants directly using small pipes which makes water drip slowly to the roots of the plant. It is used to reduce the evaporation and therefore water loss. Q. Drip irrigation saves wastage of water because it supplies water directly to the roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -Drip irrigation is sometimes called trickle irrigation and involves dripping water onto the soil at very low rates (2-20 litres/hour) from a system of small diameter plastic pipes fitted with outlets called emitters or drippers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigationsystem that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone and minimize evaporation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Drip irrigation is a advanced method of irrigation where the water is released drop by drop just near the roots of plants. It is considered advantageous over other methods of irrigation since it delivers water directly to the plant where it is required, i.e. the roots.
