Question

Name two modern methods of irrigation. State one important reason for their growing popularity.

Answer 1

Two modern methods of irrigation are:

• Drip Method: Popular because it saves water by supplying it directly to the roots, reducing evaporation. This is very useful in water-scarce regions.
• Spray Irrigation: Popular because it delivers water directly to the roots of plants, minimizing evaporation and saving a large amount of water, especially in dry regions.
