Irrigation is the artificial application of water to soil to assist in growing crops. It is necessary in areas with insufficient or uneven rainfall. The main types of irrigation systems are surface irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and drip irrigation. Surface irrigation includes uncontrolled flooding, border strip flooding, and furrow irrigation. Sprinkler and drip irrigation allow for more precise water application but have higher initial costs. Water quality must meet standards to avoid harming soils, crops, or human and animal health.

IRRIGATION
2. IRRIGATION
Irrigation is the artificial application of
water to the soil through various
systems of tubes, pumps, and sprays.
Irrigation is usually used in areas where
rainfall is irregular or dry times or
drought is expected. There are many
types of irrigation systems, in which
water is supplied to the entire field
uniformly.
3. NECESSITY OF IRRIGATION
India is basically an agriculture based country, water is evidently the most vital
element ,rainfall is the prior source for the water, however the amount of rainfall
will be limited or less in certain areas so it is essential to supply optimum
amount of water, this can only be achieved by irrigation, it helps in collecting of
water during peak rainfall period and realising it to the crop when needed, thus
the necessity can be summarized into following points.
• Insufficient rainfall
• Uneven distribution of rainfall
• Improvement of perennial crop
• Commercial crops with additional water
• Controlled water supply
4. IMPORTANCE OF IRRIGATION
All the irrigation schemes are designed so that they can increase the food production of
country, Irrigation not only deals with application of water to soil but also deals with
the aspects regarding water shed to agricultural fields and also in the design and
construction of hydraulic structures. Benefits Of Irrigation are summarized below
Increase in crop yield
Protection from famine
Cultivation of commercial crops
Elimination of mixed cropping
Economic development
Hydro power generation
Domestic and industrial water supply
In-land navigation
6. TYPES AND METHODS OF APPLYING WATER TO CROPS
Every irrigation method has its pros and cons before selecting a particular method,
the irrigation engineer must evaluate all the factors and choose that method which
is well suited to the local conditions
7. SURFACE IRRIGATION
Surface irrigation (flood irrigation), It is most common
form of irrigation where water is applied and distributed
over the soil surface by gravity
In all the surface methods of irrigation, water is either
ponded on the soil or allowed to flow continuously over
the soil surface for the duration of irrigation.
It does not result in high levels of performance.
This is mainly because of uncertain infiltration rates
which are affected by year-to-year changes in the
cropping pattern, cultivation practices, climatic factors,
and many other factors
8. UN CONTROLLED OR WILD FLOODING
When water is applied to the cropland without any
preparation of land and without any levees to
guide or restrict the flow of water on the field, the
method is called ‘uncontrolled’, wild or ‘free’
flooding.
Uncontrolled flooding generally results in excess
irrigation at the inlet region of the field and
insufficient irrigation at the outlet end.
Efficiency is reduced because of either deep
percolation or flowing away of water from the
field.
The advantage of this method is the low initial
cost of land preparation.
9. FREE FLOODING OR FLOODING FROM FIELD CHANNELS
This flooding system of irrigation is used from ancient times.
Flooding method consists of applying the water by flooding the land of rather smooth and flat
topography.
In the current irrigation practice, several flooding methods have been developed. In the free
flooding method, water is applied to the land from field ditches without any check or guidance
to the flow.
The land is divided into plots or kiaries of suitable size depending on the porosity of the soil.
Water is spread over the field from the watercourse.
The irrigation operation begins at the higher area and proceeds towards the lower levels. The
flow is stopped when the lower end of the field has received the desired depth of water.
The field watercourse is properly spaced, the spacing depends on the topography, soil texture,
depth of soil and size of the stream.
11. FLOODING BY CONTOUR LATERALS
This is a special case of free flooding in which
the field channels or laterals are aligned
approximately along the contour lines.
This method is applicable to steeper terrain.
The field is cut by a relatively dense network of
small contour laterals, the spacing of which
depends upon the prominent grade of field
between two adjacent ditches or laterals, the
uniformity of slope and the soil type.
12. BORDER STRIP FLOODING METHOD
Border strip irrigation (or simply ‘border
irrigation’) is a controlled surface flooding
method of applying irrigation water.
In this method, the farm is divided into a number
of strips. These strips are separated by low levees
(or borders).
The border strip method is suited to soils of
moderately low to moderately high intake rates
and low erodibility.
This method, however, requires preparation of
land involving high initial cost.
13. CHECK FLOODING
The check method of irrigation is based on rapid
application of irrigation water to a level or nearly
level area completely enclosed by dikes.
In this method, the entire field is divided into a
number of almost levelled plots (compartments or
‘Kiaries’) surrounded by levees.
This method is suitable for a wide range of soils
ranging from very permeable to heavy soils.
Loss of water through deep percolation (near the
supply ditch) and surface runoff can be minimized
and adequate irrigation of the entire farm can be
achieved. Thus, application efficiency is higher
for this method.
There is some loss of cultivable area which is
occupied by the levees.
14. RING BASIN FLOODING
The ring basin flooding is a special
form of check basin flooding adapted
to orchards.
• Ring basins are formed for each tree;
in some cases, one ring basin may be
formed for two or more trees.
• Water is supplied to these basins
through a supply ditch. In some cases,
a number of ring basins are
interconnected.
• Portable pipes or large hoses may also
be used in place of ditches.
15. ZIG-ZAG METHOD
It is special method of flooding where
water takes circuitous route before
reaching the dead end of each plot.
• The whole area is divided into a number
of square or rectangular plots; each plot is
then subdivided with the help of low
bunds or levees.
• This method is suitable for relatively
level plots. It is, however, highly
unsuitable for farming operations with
modern farm machinery.
16. FURROW METHOD
An alternative to flooding the entire land surface is to
construct small channels along the primary direction of the
movement of water and letting the water flow through these
channels which are termed ‘furrows’, ‘creases’ or
‘corrugation’.
Furrows necessitate the wetting of only about half to one-
fifth of the field surface. This reduces the evaporation loss
considerably.
Furrows provide better on-farm water management
capabilities for most of the surface irrigation conditions, and
variable and severe topographical conditions.
Possibility of increased erosion
Furrow irrigation requires more labor than any other surface
irrigation method.
17. CONTOUR FARMING
Contour farming, the practice of tilling sloped land along lines of
consistent elevation in order to conserve rainwater and to
reduce soil losses from surface erosion.
These objectives are achieved by means of furrows, crop rows, and
wheel tracks across slopes, all of which act as reservoirs to catch and
retain rainwater, thus permitting increased infiltration and more uniform
distribution of the water.
The practice has been proved to reduce fertilizer loss, power and
time consumption, and wear on machines, as well as to increase crop
yields and reduce erosion.
Contour farming can help absorb the impact of heavy rains, which in
straight-line planting often wash away topsoil.
Contour farming is most effective when used in conjunction with such
practices as strip cropping, terracing, and water diversion.
18. SUB SURFACE IRRIGATION
Subsurface irrigation (or simply sub irrigation) is the practice of
applying water to soils directly under the surface.
Moisture reaches the plant roots through capillary action.
The conditions which favor sub irrigation are as follows:
1. Impervious subsoil at a depth of 2 meters or more,
2. A very permeable subsoil
3. A permeable loam or sandy loam surface soil,
4. Uniform topographic conditions,
5. and Moderate ground slopes
19. SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
Sprinkling is the method of applying water to the
soil surface in the form of a spray which is
somewhat similar to rain. Rotating sprinkler-head
systems are commonly used for sprinkler irrigation.
Each rotating sprinkler head applies water to a given
area, size of which is governed by the nozzle size
and the water pressure. Alternatively, perforated pipe
can be used to deliver water through very small
holes which are drilled at close intervals along a
segment of the circumference of a pipe
20. SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
Sprinklers have been used on all types of soils on lands of different topography and
slopes, and for many crops. The following conditions are favorable for sprinkler
irrigation:
Very previous soils which do not permit good distribution of water by surface
methods,
Lands which have steep slopes and easily erodible soils,
Irrigation channels which are too small to distribute water efficiently by surface
irrigation, and
Lands with shallow soils and undulating lands which prevent proper leveling
required for surface methods of irrigation
21. Advantages
Low water loss (efficiency up to 80%)
Saving in fertilizer • Suitable for any topography
No soil erosion
Better seed germination, free aeration of root zone
Uniform application of water
Disadvantages
High initial cost, cannot adopt by ordinary farmers
Poor application efficiency in windy weather and high temperature
High evaporation losses
Water should be free of debris
Physical damage to crops by application of high intensity spray
22. DRIP IRRIGATION
1. Trickle irrigation system comprises main line, sub
mains, laterals, valves (to control the flow), drippers or
emitters , pressure gauges, water meters, filters , pumps,
fertilizer tanks, vacuum breakers, and pressure
regulators.
2. The drippers are designed to supply water at the desired
rate (1 to 10 liters per hour) directly to the soil. Low
pressure heads at the emitters are considered adequate as
the soil capillary forces causes the emitted water to
spread laterally and vertically.
23. DRIP IRRIGATION
Advantages:
Low water loss and hence saves water
Enhances plant growth and plant yield
Saves labor and energy
Control weed growth
No soil erosion
Improves fertilizer application efficiency
2Disadvantages:
High skill in design, installation, and subsequent operation
Clogging of small conduits and openings in emitters due to sand, clay particles, debris,
chemical precipitates and organic growth
Not suitable for closely planted crops such as wheat and other cereal grains
24. QUALITY OF IRRIGATION WATER
1. Irrigation water must not have direct or indirect undesirable effects on the health
of human beings, animals, and plants.
2. The irrigation water must not damage the soil and not endanger the quality of
surface and ground waters with which it comes into contact.
3. The presence of toxic substances in irrigation water may threaten the vegetation
besides degrading the suitability of soil for future cultivation.
4. Surface water, ground water, and suitably treated waste waters are generally used
for irrigation purposes
25. QUALITY OF IRRIGATION WATER
The various types of impurities, which make the water unfit for
irrigation, are classified as:
Sediment concentration in water
Total concentration of soluble salts in water
Proportion of sodium ions to other ions
Concentration of potentially toxic elements present in water
Bacterial contamination
