Pipes are used to transport water from reserviours, lakes (natural or artificial), rivers, or large ponds to the field. Spray units (there are different types) are used to spray water in the air (mimicking rain) onto the crops and built so they can be portable, able to move from one length of the field to another. Water has to be fresh, not salty, in order to be able to be used to irrigate crops.
Once it reaches the field, water can also be applied to the crop through flood or furrow irrigation, or through what's called "drip irrigation".
Machinery,tools,fertilisers and irrigation systems.
Farmer=big field hose = spray little water irrigation = give lots of water farmer = not lots of time hose + big field = long time lots of water + big field = quick and fast farmer + quick and fast = happy
The farmers used an irrigation system to carry water from the river to their cropsLarge amounts of water are needed for irrigation."John started his irrigation system so his crops would have enough water to grow well."The farmer installed a new irrigation system to water his crops.
Absolutely. Without irrigation, they would be able to produce very little.
Hope for rain.
Irrigation is another word for watering plants. A farmer who's watering his whole field is irrigating it.
Communal irrigation systems (CIS) are small-scale schemes and constructed with the participation of farmer-beneficiaries thru their IAs.
irrigation allowed farming in more places and increased crop yields ,but it strained water supplies.

Two irrigation farmers are using a double cropping wheat-maize rotation for two years (both have 30 ha fields). In the third-year maize was replaced with groundnuts where after the rotation starts again. The fields are located next to each other (hence same semi-arid climatic region) and in general have to same soil (deep, 1.8 m, sandy loam). Farmer A uses irrigation water with an electrical conductivity (ECi) of 55 mS m-1 and sodium adsorption ratio (SARi) of 11. Farmer B uses irrigation water with an electrical conductivity of 273 mS m-1 and a sodium adsorption ratio of 2.1. Discus the long-term (±10 years) onsite and offsite impact of the salt load associated with irrigation for Farmer A and B.
