How do you appreciate the irrigation systems used in the drought-prone areas?

In drought-prone areas very less water is available. So the type of irrigation in which minimum water can be used such method is employed in those areas. Drip irrigation is employed in such areas where water falls drop by drop near the roots of the plants thus using very less amount of water. Water is also not wasted in this type of irrigation. Sprinkler method is also employed in water scarcity areas where water is sprinkled through nozzle tips of a rotating sprinkler.
