Microsprinkler Irrigation Systems

by Dipak Suresh

In the global scenario, the demand for water has been on the increase from all fronts, whether be it agriculture, industry or municipal use. To increase the production of crops for feeding the world population of about six billion with dwindling water resources is a challenge. The conventional method of irrigation has not been as efficient in the use of water thus resulting in excessive wastage besides creation of problems in many regions through waterlogging and salinity. Unscientific use of water apart from wastage has an injurious effect on soil health. Therefore, judicious use of water is vital to achieve higher productivity in a sustainable manner. The modern systems of irrigation like drip, sprinkler coupled with other improved water management practices enhance the water use efficiency and productivity. The method of applying water above the ground surface somewhat resembling rainfall is known as a sprinkler system.
