Why is irrigation used?
All plants require water to grow, sometimes that water can be supplied by natural rainfall. Irrigation is used to suppliment the natural rainfall to ensure that plants receive… adequate water to grow. The purpose irrigation is to bring water to croplands that normally do not receive enough water from rain or from underground water shelves. Normally trenches are made that run parallel to a row of crops such as corn. Water from a river or a lake is then diverted to the cropland needing attention. This farming practice was performed in ancient Egypt. Yes, when the annual flood of the Nile occurred, these waters help to fertilize crops nearby. But those crops that need an "irrigation" system was created from the flood waters of the Nile. This practice is done in modern times as well.
