IRRIGATION METHODS
BY
K.MADHU JEGATHISH
BTE-12-021
Irrigation water can be applied to the land in several different
ways, and the choice among alternative irrigation methods,
depends upon many factors, including:
• economics
• crop type
• soil type
• water availability and quality
• farming practices
• legal considerations and others
Uncontrolled surface flooding
 It consists of applying water to the field without any bunds to guide the flow of water
wetting the soil surface completely.
 This method is most commonly used for irrigation of crops sown by broadcasting
method viz., rice, low value pastures, lawns and millets etc.
Advantages
1. No land levelling & land shaping
2. Low labour and land preparation costs
3. Less skill required by irrigator
Disadvantages
1. Applied water is lost by deep percolation &
surface runoff
2. Low irrigation application efficiency
Controlled flooding
Check basin method
In this method the field is divided into square or rectangular plots of 4 to 4000 m2
guided by bunds on all the sides. v
Advantages
1. Water can be applied uniformly.
2. Even small streams can be used for irrigation of crops efficiently.
3. Simple and cheap when equipment is used for constructing bunds
Disadvantages
1. Unless the land is levelled, distribution of water in plot is uneven.
2. Considerable area is lost under field channels and bunds i.e.
nearly 30% of area.
3. Bunds interfere in working of inter-cultivation equipment
4. More labour is required for field layout and irrigation
Ring basin method
This method is a modification of check basin method and is suitable for sparsely grown
orchard crops and cucurbits.
Border strip method
The cultivated field to be irrigated is divided into a number of long parallel
strips, generally 3 to 15 m in width and 75 to 300 m in length separated by small
border ridges or low dykes of about 15 cm high, laid out in the direction of the
slope.
Deep furrow method Corrugations
Traditional meethods
Levee: holds the
water back
Canal: allows the water to be
brought to drier areas
Dam: controls the flow of
water
Drip irrigation
Subsurface drip
 Water applied through small emitter openings below the
soil surface
 Basically a surface system that's been buried
(few inches to a couple feet)
 Permanent installation
Subsurface Drip Irrigation
Advantages
• High & uniform water application
• Lower pressure & power requirements
• No dry corners
• Adaptable to automation
Disadvantages
• High initial cost
• Water filtration required
• Complex maintenance requirements
Flushing, Chlorination and Acid injection
Salt movement under irrigation with saline water
Salt accumulation leached
downward by successive water
applications
Salt accumulation leached
radially outward from drip
tubing
Subsurface Drip Sprinkler/Flood
Sprinkler irrigation
Micro spray/ micro jets
Discharge: 1gal/min/spray applicator
 Low operating pressure requirements of from 0.8 to 1.5
kg/cm2, low water application rates and suitability for stony
or very coarse sandy soils
 Objective: To emit water in the form of small droplets
without causing any misting
Micro sprinklers
• These are highly useful for high discharge requirements in case
of orchards and also where the crop canopy as well as the root
zone spread is more
• They are normally, designed to spray water to cover an area of
1 to 6 meters with a flow rate varying from 20 lph to 120 lph
Rain gun
• Most suitable for a variety of climates like
tropical, temperate and humid climates as in
India
• Light in weight and easy to install
• Uniform distribution profile with adjustable jet
• Long life span and low maintenance
• Better pattern coverage & good performance in
windy conditions
Possibilities of adapting micro irrigation
Drip irrigation
All type of crops
except some close
spaced crops
Well and tank
irrigation
 Suitable for all types
of soils – sandy, clay
and saline
Sprinkler irrigation
Close spaced crops
Well, tank and
canal irrigation
Suitable for all
types of soils –
coarse sandy soils

Irrigation methods

Low irrigation application efficiency
  • 4. Controlled flooding Check basin method In this method the field is divided into square or rectangular plots of 4 to 4000 m2 guided by bunds on all the sides. v
  • 5. Advantages 1. Water can be applied uniformly. 2. Even small streams can be used for irrigation of crops efficiently. 3. Simple and cheap when equipment is used for constructing bunds Disadvantages 1. Unless the land is levelled, distribution of water in plot is uneven. 2. Considerable area is lost under field channels and bunds i.e. nearly 30% of area. 3. Bunds interfere in working of inter-cultivation equipment 4. More labour is required for field layout and irrigation
  • 6. Ring basin method This method is a modification of check basin method and is suitable for sparsely grown orchard crops and cucurbits.
  • 7. Border strip method The cultivated field to be irrigated is divided into a number of long parallel strips, generally 3 to 15 m in width and 75 to 300 m in length separated by small border ridges or low dykes of about 15 cm high, laid out in the direction of the slope.
  • 8. Deep furrow method Corrugations
  • 9. Traditional meethods Levee: holds the water back Canal: allows the water to be brought to drier areas Dam: controls the flow of water

  • 12. Subsurface drip  Water applied through small emitter openings below the soil surface  Basically a surface system that's been buried (few inches to a couple feet)  Permanent installation
  • 13. Subsurface Drip Irrigation Advantages • High & uniform water application • Lower pressure & power requirements • No dry corners • Adaptable to automation Disadvantages • High initial cost • Water filtration required • Complex maintenance requirements Flushing, Chlorination and Acid injection
  • 14. Salt movement under irrigation with saline water Salt accumulation leached downward by successive water applications Salt accumulation leached radially outward from drip tubing Subsurface Drip Sprinkler/Flood
  • 16. Micro spray/ micro jets Discharge: 1gal/min/spray applicator  Low operating pressure requirements of from 0.8 to 1.5 kg/cm2, low water application rates and suitability for stony or very coarse sandy soils  Objective: To emit water in the form of small droplets without causing any misting
  • 17. Micro sprinklers • These are highly useful for high discharge requirements in case of orchards and also where the crop canopy as well as the root zone spread is more • They are normally, designed to spray water to cover an area of 1 to 6 meters with a flow rate varying from 20 lph to 120 lph
  • 18. Rain gun • Most suitable for a variety of climates like tropical, temperate and humid climates as in India • Light in weight and easy to install • Uniform distribution profile with adjustable jet • Long life span and low maintenance • Better pattern coverage & good performance in windy conditions
  • 19. Possibilities of adapting micro irrigation Drip irrigation All type of crops except some close spaced crops Well and tank irrigation  Suitable for all types of soils – sandy, clay and saline Sprinkler irrigation Close spaced crops Well, tank and canal irrigation Suitable for all types of soils – coarse sandy soils
