Design of Surface Irrigation Systems: In every irrigation system a particular size of steam is available to irrigate the land with a particular topography and soil characteristics. These should be matched in such a way that the required amount of water is applied all over the field as uniformly as possible and at the same time no soil losses occur [...]

Drip irrigation (also referred to as trickle irrigation or micro irrigation) utilizes the concept of applying small amounts of water through perforations in distribution lines to specific areas of application. The system essentially consists of a perforated plastic pipe laid on the ground or buried at a shallow depth. Water is supplied through these pipes. Perforations and any fixtures fitted [...]
