Irrigation Revolution: Transforming Crop Yields and Feeding the World
This article explains different ways to water crops to help them grow better. There are three main methods: surface, sprinkler, and microirrigation. Surface irrigation is the most common and involves letting water flow across the field. Sprinkler and microirrigation methods use pipes to send water where it's needed. These two methods give more control over how much water the crops get and can be automated for easier use. Farmers often choose the method based on factors like cost and how much control they want over watering. The article aims to provide an overview of these irrigation methods commonly used in agriculture.
