2. What is Farm Irrigation System?
Farm irrigation systems are the
methods of applying water to crops
and are classified as surface irrigation,
sprinkler irrigation, and
microirrigation.
3. What is Type of Farm Irrigation
System?
There are types of farm irrigation system:
• Surface Irrigation
• Localized Irrigation
• Drip Irrigation
• Sprinkler Irrigation
• Center Pivot Irrigation
• Lateral Move Irrigation
• Sub-Irrigation
• Manual Irrigation
4. Type of Farm Irrigation System
Surface Irrigation
- refers to systems that
deliver water to crops
using a gravity-fed,
overland flow of
water.
5. Type of Farm Irrigation System
Localized Irrigation
- a system where the water
is distributed under low
pressure through a piped
network, in a pre-determined
pattern, and applied water as
a small discharge to each
plant or adjacent to it.
6. Type of Farm Irrigation System
Drip Irrigation
- is a type of micro-
irrigation system 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.
7. Type of Farm Irrigation System
Sprinkler Irrigation
- is a method of applying
irrigation water which is
similar to natural rainfall.
Water is distributed through a
system of pipes usually by
pumping.
8. Type of Farm Irrigation System
Center Pivot Irrigation
- a method
of crop irrigation in which
equipment rotates around
a pivot and crops are
watered with sprinklers.
9. Type of Farm Irrigation System
Lateral Move System
- A sprinkler irrigation system
suited to small or rectangular
fields, with a wheeled
mechanism for moving the
irrigation towers or pipes
from one end to the opposite
end of the field.
10. Type of Farm Irrigation System
Sub-irrigation
- A sprinkler irrigation system
suited to small or rectangular
fields, with a wheeled
mechanism for moving the
irrigation towers or pipes
from one end to the opposite
end of the field.
11. Type of Farm Irrigation System
Manual Irrigation
- involves hand watering
with hoses, nozzles, or
sprinklers. You either must
be present to move the
hose and sprinkler
frequently to cover the
entire area or install a timer
feature for multiple hoses
