Option 2 : Can cause significant evaporation-loss
Sprinkler system:
- Sprinkler system of irrigation is best for an uneven ground surface as it does not need investment in leveling work. Also, it conveys water evenly throughout the surface with the help of sprinkler heads like rain falling on the surface.
- In this method irrigation, the water is applied to the land in the form of a spray and it can be used for all type of soil and for any topography. It is highly recommended for soils having large undulations and easily erodible soils and it is mostly adopted in tea and coffee gardens.
- There is no erosion of soil and fertilizers are used economically since they can be injected through the water.
- Even though it reduces various leakages but the evaporation loss are always there
