Question

Which two modern methods of irrigation are well suited for regions with low ground water resources?

Answer 1

1. Drip Irrigation: With this technique, water is gradually released via a system of emitters, pipes, and valves right to the roots of plants. Its high efficiency reduces water waste and evaporation.
2. Sprinkler Irrigation: This system uses a pump to distribute water through a network of pipes in order to mimic natural rainfall. Water is sprayed into the air, where it descends like rain on the crops.
