Irrigation is the process of supplying water to crops artificially to fulfill their water requirements. There are different types of irrigation systems used based on soil, climate, and resources, including surface irrigation, localized irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, and center pivot irrigation. Irrigation can be carried out through traditional manual methods or modern methods like sprinkler and drip systems, which help ensure even water distribution and compensate for disadvantages of traditional methods. Irrigation is important as it allows for higher crop productivity, multiple cropping per year, stabilization of crop yields, and increased farmer incomes.
