Surface alternative irrigation is an effective method for saving water in agriculture. A study in Egypt compared traditional furrow irrigation with an alternative method. The results showed that the alternative technique required less water and had higher water application efficiency. This means that more water was used effectively for crop growth, leading to higher water productivity. Overall, using surface alternative irrigation can help farmers save water and improve crop yields.
