Solution
Only a few decades ago did this kind of overhead irrigation start to be used in India. This kind of irrigation involves setting up sprinklers in the fields and using hoses to deliver water from the water supply. Since water is delivered to sprinklers via pipes from the water source, seepage loss is eliminated with this kind of irrigation. Additionally, as water is sprayed directly onto the field with the aid of sprinklers, no water is permitted to be wasted through evaporation. These steps help make the best use of the available water resources and provide a chance to prevent any water shortages.
