    The document discusses irrigation engineering and defines it as the process of artificially supplying water to soil for raising crops. It also discusses the engineering of controlling and harnessing various natural water sources through construction of dams, canals, and distribution systems to agricultural fields. Irrigation is necessary where rainfall is scanty, non-uniform, or where commercial crops require more water. Water can be unsatisfactory for irrigation if it contains chemicals toxic to plants or humans or bacteria injurious to plants or animals.
