Question

Draw a labeled diagram of the drip irrigation system.

Answer 1

Hint: Drip irrigation can be called a type of micro-irrigation. Micro-irrigation is lower pressure and flow type of irrigation than a sprinkler and is often called trickle irrigation. It is a technique of irrigation that has proven to be very helpful.

Complete answer: A type of micro-irrigation or trickle irrigation system that can save water and nutrients in the drip irrigation system as it allows water to drip slowly to the roots and also to the correct amounts of the plants and not above or below the soil surface. This helps the roots to be supplied with drop by drop water and to reduce evaporation. For the supply of water via a drip irrigation system, pumps, pipes, tubing, and emitters can be used. Any of the benefits of drip irrigation are as follows: the depletion of fertilizers and nutrients is reduced using drip irrigation. If properly handled, the performance of water application management can be improved and fields with irregular shapes can easily be accommodated.

Note: It is possible to use recycled non-potable water, preserve humidity within the root zone, and the form of soil does not play an important role in the frequency of irrigation. Soil erosion and weed growth are limited, the distribution of water is highly uninformed, and labour costs are also declining. Drip irrigation is now widely used in fields, greenhouses, and gardens, saving water and helping to grow crops such as cocoa, strawberries, tomatoes, etc. In ancient times, China pioneered the use of drip irrigation. In the 1950s, Israeli engineers sold the use of drip irrigation.
