One of the main problems caused by irrigation is rising salinity. Irrigation salinity can be the result of several factors, such as over-irrigation of farmland or any practice that causes water to lie around for long periods. This leads to increased leakage to the groundwater system, which in turn causes the water table to rise. When the water table reaches to within 2 metres of e soil's surface, evaporation of the water can cause a buildup of salt which is already present in the soil to some degree.

carrying irrigation water into fields through open ditches waste water
natural subsurface irrigation :- those areas which lie near to canal and roots zone of crops doenst require irrigation water Artificial irrigation :- by a network of pipe and pump water is provide to the root zone
The effect irrigation has on soil is that it dampens it, making it better for growing crops. To groundwater, irrigation fills it up with water. Rivers are affected by irrigation by the irrigation flowing into it.

There are three types of irrigations methods. First is surface irrigation where the water is fed by simple gravity over a field such a rice paddy field. Sprinkler or drip irrigation is when water is delivered over the air onto the plants such as most fields in North America. Finally Sub-Irrigation where the water table to raise to the crop's roots level.
Over irrigation of growing crops could lower the water table in an area - especially in a desert environment.

Disadvantage of a tube well: -It is not possible where water-table is low. -If the groundwater is brackish then irrigation is not possible.
Water harvesting is a method of collecting rainwater in storage tanks or pits which are dug underground; the purpose is to store the water for future use in irrigation or to increase the water table.
Intake is an integral part of any irrigation system. The intake is where water is drawn into the irrigation system, either from a body of water or from a water system. This water is then distributed through the irrigation system to water the plants.
This is called irrigation - specifically it is "surface irrigation".
