Water is lost by excessive evaporation.
Large irrigation channels losses more water by evaporation.

The rate of evaporation increases
The higher the temperature, the higher the rate of evaporation. It is
drip irrigation uses less water (up to 50% less) than overhead irrigation. fertiliser can be applied in-line as well. the exact dose of water can be delivered to the plant as and when required. less evaporation than overhead irrigation
it increases the evaporation water.
