a) Furrow irrigation — between two rows of crop.

b) Basin irrigation — paddy field.

c) Sprinkler irrigation — used where soil can’t retain water.

d) Drip irrigation — to irrigate grapes, banana etc.

a) Furrow irrigation: There are channels of water made in the soil between two crops and the water enters between the furrows. It is employed for crops that are arranged in rows like sugarcane, banana, paddy, etc.

b) Basin irrigation: Here, the field is just filled with water. It is good for crops which grow well when their roots are submerged in water such as paddy.

c) Sprinkler irrigation: Sprinklers spray water in the soil at regular periods of time. This method reduces water wastage especially when soil can’t retain water. For example: Lawn

d) Drip irrigation: This method also helps save water. The water falls drop by drop and is delivered directly to the roots. It is used for grapes, banana, brinjal, etc.
