If given a choice, I would use the drip irrigation method to irrigate my farm. This is due to the following reasons:
- It is one of the most advanced and efficient method of irrigation.
- The system uses perforated pipes placed between crop rows or along root lines, delivering water directly to the plant roots.
- This reduces evaporation significantly and helps conserve irrigation water.
- Drip irrigation allows farmers to customise irrigation programme according to the specific needs of each crop, improving yield and resource efficiency.
