Water is one of the essential elements of human existence. It is not always possible to get
water supply from natural sources. Here comes the application of irrigation supply. Irrigation
(/water-resource-engineering/irrigation/56-irrigation-definition-history-approaches-and-
projects-full-details) is the man-made means of supplying water. The main objectives of
irrigation supply are given below.

Ensure enough moisture essential for plant growth.

Provide crop insurance against short duration drought.
Cool the soil and atmosphere to provide a suitable surrounding.
