WHAT IS IRRIGATION?
Irrigation is the application of water to the soil for the
purpose of supplying the moisture essential for plant
growth
It is used to assist in the growing of agricultural
crops, maintenance of landscapes, and revegetation
of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of
inadequate rainfall.
Additionally, irrigation also has a few other uses in
crop production, which include protecting plants
against frost, suppressing weed growth in grain
fields and preventing soil consolidation.

HISTORY
Irrigation has been a central feature of agriculture for
over 5000 years, and was the basis of the economy
and society of numerous societies, ranging from Asia
to Arizona.
Egypt claims having the world's oldest dam, 108m
long, 12m high, built 5,000 years ago
In 15th century Korea, the world's first rain gauge,
uryanggye was invented in 1441. The inventor was
Jang Yeong-sil, a Korean engineer of the Joseon
Dynasty, under the active direction of the king,
Sejong the Great.

PURPOSE
Providing insurance against short durationdroughts
Reducing the hazard of frost (increase thetemperature of the plant)
Reducing the temperature during hot spells
Washing or diluting salts in the soil
Softening tillage pans and clods.
Delaying bud formation by evaporative cooling
Promoting the function of some microorganisms

TYPES OF IRRIGATION
Surface Irrigation
Localized Irrigation
Drip Irrigation
Sprinkler Irrigation
Sub-irrigation
IRRIGATION ENGINEERING 7
SURFACE IRRIGATION
In surface irrigation systems, water moves
over and across the land by simple gravity
flow in order to wet it and to infiltrate into the
soil.
Surface irrigation can be subdivided into
furrow, border strip or basin irrigation.
It is often called flood irrigation when the
irrigation results in flooding or near flooding
of the cultivated land.

LOCALIZED IRRIGATION
Localized irrigation is a system where
water is distributed under low pressure
through a piped network, in a
predetermined pattern, and applied as a
small discharge to each plant or adjacent
to it.
Drip irrigation, spray or micro-sprinkler
irrigation and bubbler irrigation belong to
this category of irrigation methods.

DRIP IRRIGATION
Drip irrigation, also known as trickle
irrigation, functions as its name suggests.
Water is delivered at or near the root zone of
plants, drop by drop.
This method can be the most water efficient
method of irrigation, if managed properly,
since evaporation and runoff are minimized.

DRIP IRRIGATION

SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
In sprinkler or overhead irrigation, water is piped
to one or more central locations within the field
and distributed by overhead high-pressure
sprinklers or guns.
Sprinklers can also be mounted on moving
platforms connected to the water source by a
hose.
Automatically moving wheeled systems known
as traveling sprinklers may irrigate areas such as
small farms, sports fields, parks, pastures, and
cemeteries unattended.

SUB IRRIGATION
Sub-irrigation also sometimes called seepage
irrigation has been used for many years in field
crops in areas with high water tables.
It is a method of artificially raising the water table
to allow the soil to be moistened from below the
plants' root zone.
Sub-irrigation is also used in commercial
greenhouse production, usually for potted plants.
Water is delivered from below, absorbed
upwards, and the excess collected for recycling.

SARDAR SAROVAR DAM
Type of dam:gravity dam, concrete
Impounds: Narmada River
Height (foundation): 163 m (535 ft)
Length: 1,210 m (3,970 ft)
Spillway capacity: 84,949 m3/s (2,999,900 cu

SARDAR SAROVAR DAM
The Sardar Sarovar Dam is a gravity dam
on the Narmada River near Navagam,
Gujarat in India.
It is the largest dam and part of the
Narmada Valley Project, a large hydraulic
engineering project involving the
construction of a series of large irrigation
and hydroelectric multi-purpose dams on
the Narmada River.
IRRIGATION ENGINEERING 20
SARDAR SAROVAR DAM
The project took form in 1979 as part of a
development scheme to increase irrigation
and produce hydroelectricity.
The dam will irrigate 17,920 km2 (6,920
sq mi) of land spread over 12 districts, 62
talukas, and 3,393 villages (75% of which
is drought-prone areas) in Gujarat and
730 km2 (280 sq mi) in the arid areas of
Barmer and Jalore districts of Rajasthan

DEVELOPMENT OF IRRIGATION IN
INDIAThe net area under irrigation by all sources of
irrigation increased from 55.23 million hectares
in 2000-01 to 63.25 million hectares in 2009-10,
indicating 15% increase over the period. Net
area under irrigation is maximum (63.7 million
hectare) in 2008-09 during the last ten years.
The net area under irrigation by Government
canals increased from
15.81 million hectares in 2000-01 to 16.51
million hectares in 2009-10.

DEVELOPMENT OF IRRIGATION IN
INDIAThe net area under irrigation by tanks declined
from 2.46 million hectares in 2000-01 to 1.64
million hectares in 2009-10,whereas, net area
under irrigation by tube wells and other wells
enhanced from 33.83 million hectares in 2000-01
to 39.04 million hectares in 2009-10. Net area
under irrigation by other sources enhanced from
2.91 million hectares in 2000-01 to5.88 million
hectares in 2009-10.
The total gross irrigated area enhanced from
76.19 million hectares in 2000-01 to 79.95 million
hectares in 2009-10.IRRIGATION ENGINEERING 23
DEVELOPMENT OF IRRIGATION IN
INDIA
The gross irrigated area under food grains
increased from 53.61 million hectares in 2000-
01 to 58.64 million hectares in 2009-10,the
increase is due to increase of 4 million
hectares in gross irrigated area under wheat
during the period.
