    TOPIC-
    IRRIGATION
    WATER
    Water is one of the most vital natural
    resources required for the crop
    production. India, has the vast surface
    water resources owing to the presence of
    12 major river basins and 8 composite
    riverbanks.
    Most of the agricultural land in India is
    rain-fed and rain-fed agriculture accounts
    What is Irrigation ?
    The process of timely water supply
    to crops in the field by the means
    of canals, wells, reservoirs, river lift
    systems, or other water resources,
    is called Irrigation.
    Advantages of Irrigation
     Irrigation ensures regular supply of
    moisture, essential for the
    germination of seeds and growth of
    plants.
    Silt carried through irrigation channel
    enhances fertility of soil.
    Multipurpose dams also help control
    flood, improved navigation of rivers and
    Sources of Irrigation
    Our country has a wide variety of
    water resources and climatic
    conditions. In such situations,
    several kinds of irrigation systems
    are adopted to bring more and
    more agricultural land under
    wells
    A well is the source of underground water.
    The rainwater gets absorbed into the
    ground. This groundwater can be utilised
    by digging wells. These are of two types:-
    Dug wells
    Tube wells
    DUG WELLS
    These are open wells that are
    build to a depth just below the
    water table. These are shallow
    and water can be drawn
    manually or by devices operated
    TUBE WELLS
    The tube wells or Bore wells can draw
    water from deep strata. Water from
    tube wells is pumped up with the help
    of diesel or electric pumps. Deep bore
    wells can supply large quantity of
    water and do not dry fast.
    CANAL SYSTEM
    The canals receive water from rivers or water
    reservoirs. The main canal is divided into branch
    canals, and branch canals further have
    distributaries or channels that supply water to the
    fields. River or water source, main canal branch
    canals and distributaries together form a canal
    system. In canal irrigated areas, a rotation system
    is followed so as to provide adequate water to all
    fields when the supply of water is insufficient.
    River lift system
    This system of irrigation is helpful when
    canal system cannot supply sufficient
    water due to inadequate water supply
    from reservoirs. In such situations, water
    is directly drawn from rivers and used
    for irrigation, but only in regions near
    the river.
    Tanks
    These are small storage reservoirs that
    store and control the overflow of smaller
    catchment areas. Small dams are built
    below the higher elevation of the
    catchment area to store runoff water.
    From these tanks, water for irrigation is
    distributed.
    Drip Irrigation
    In this system water is
    supplied drop by drop near
    the roots. It is a good method
    of irrigation in water deficient
    areas.
    Sprinkler
    In this irrigation method,
    irrigation
    sprinklers or overhead pipes are
    used to spray water over the
    crops. This is also a good method
    of irrigation in water deficient
    areas and areas having uneven
