Subsurface runoff refers to water that flows beneath the Earth's surface in soils and rocks. This type of runoff can occur when the ground becomes saturated from precipitation or irrigation, causing water to move horizontally through the soil layers. Subsurface runoff can contribute to groundwater recharge and can also transport pollutants.
Advantages of subsurface mining techniques include access to valuable minerals located deep underground and the ability to extract resources that are not easily accessible through surface mining. Disadvantages include environmental impacts such as habitat destruction and water pollution, as well as safety risks for miners due to working in confined spaces and potential for accidents.
Surface mining involves extracting minerals near the surface by removing vegetation and soil, while subsurface mining involves digging tunnels deep underground to extract minerals. Surface mining is faster, cheaper, and less hazardous to miners but can lead to environmental degradation and habitat destruction. Subsurface mining is safer for the environment but poses higher risks to miners due to the potential for collapses and gas explosions.
Aquifers refer to bodies of water stored in underground places like rock formations or soils. These underground reservoirs hold groundwater that can be accessed through wells for various uses such as drinking water or irrigation.

Depending on the crop grown, a subsurface drip system is the most water efficient irrigation system as it delivers water directly to the root zone and experiences virtually no wastage from evaporation or run off. The most efficient subsurface system is Subsurface Textile Irrigation which uses up to 60% less water than surface irrigation and 30% less than conventional subsurface drip irrigation. Subsurface Textile Irrigation has a long life span, requires less maintenance, is simple to retrofit and is the safest way to use recycled water as it disperses the water undergound and there is no tunneling of water to the surface. STI is used throughout the world to irrigate crops, sports fields, public parks and gardens and even residential back yards and green roofs.
Subsurface irrigation is the irrigation method used for bananas.water is generally stored in tank like structure then water is supplied to the channel which will wet the root zone.

Drip irrigation is a type of irrigation used in the Murray River. Drip irrigation is a continuous tube with evenly spaced emitters that 'drip' water. Drip irrigation is used on the surface, often hung from trellis, or below the surface. Drip irrigation, especially subsurface, is a water efficient approach to irrigation and so is favoured along the Murray River as the area is in extreme drought. There is a new type of extremely water efficient irrigation that is starting to be used throughout the Murray river area, because it uses far less water than any other irrigation system. The KISSS Subsurface Textile Irrigation system is increasingly used in sports fields, crops and backyards due to it's water efficiency.
Subsurface runoff refers to water that flows beneath the Earth's surface in soils and rocks. This type of runoff can occur when the ground becomes saturated from precipitation or irrigation, causing water to move horizontally through the soil layers. Subsurface runoff can contribute to groundwater recharge and can also transport pollutants.
Subsurface Textile Irrigation (STI) is the only irrigation system designed specifically for use undergound. Water is supplied to the soil from the surface of a geotextile fabric rather than from individual emitters in a drip line. Dispersing the water over a larger area reduces the rate of water discharged to the soil bringing it closer to the capillary absorption rate of the soil; and also converts the drip line from a series of point sources to a single, broad line source. STI delivers a continuous, wide wetting pattern, unlike subsurface drip which tends to be disconnected and elongated.

Water is conveyed through a system of flexible pipelines operating at low pressure and it is applied to the plant through drip nozzles. This technique is also called as feeding bottle technique. There are two types of drip irrigation: - surface drip irrigation (drip tubes placed on the surface, or hung on a trellis as in vineyards) and - subsurface drip irrigation (where the drip tubes are buried beneath the surface and water is applied directly to the root zone). Drip irrigation can also be supplied with a root intrusion inhibitant - to stop roots affecting the drip emmitters. This is recommended for subsurface drip - although there are new products available that do not require the addition of herbicide to deter root intrusion.
in the older irrigation method there would have been an anormous waste of water which is a disadvantage.in the newer irrigation method,there is conservation of money,land space and water too.
