It depends on where you are ! If you are in the midwest, nature will take care of things. Most farmers in the mid west do not irrigate, rainfall is adequate. Vegetables grown in their native land are usually resistant to normal weather patterns in their environment.
Growing vegetables where they aren't naturally found, means just keeping an eye on them and watering when there has been no rain. Some vegetables need more water than others. ( I avoid growing celery and cucumbers, since they require more water than most, when I am in Colorado. But in the mid west, they grow just fine. )
In any event . . . If it hasn't rained in a week, I will water my garden for about 90 minutes. ( This also depends on the water flow and the kind of sprinkling system you have. ) Poke your finger in the soil after watering. If the ground is dry 1/2 an inch below the surface, you need to water more. If it puddles between rows, chances are you need to cultivate ( stir up the soil ) so that air and water can get to the roots easier.
There are a lot of factors . . . it SOUNDS complicated, but once you get the feel of it, you will be a pro in no time at all.
If the plants are wilty looking .. . Water them !
Also . . . avoid watering in the heat of the day ( 10 to 4 o'clock ). Morning watering be best, or early evening.
Good luck !
