- Best method of assessment of irrigation water is – volumetric rate
- Irrigation is needed where rainfall is – scarce (low)
- Method of applying water directly to root zone of plant is called Drip Irrigation
- For a furrow slope of 0.3% pure depth for the use of water in clay should not be less than 390mm
- The maximum water application efficiency – sub surface irrigation
- When Crops are grown on ridges, running on the sides of the ditches then the kid of irrigation adopted is called as furrow
