Water Resources - ways of watering crops

A small video about farming and water resources in India. Do you know that farming is the main occupation of many people in our country?
In India, farmers mainly depend on rainfall for growing crops. However, the distribution of rainfall varies from one region to another.
Farmers face a challenge while growing crops as they need a constant supply of fresh water. Thus, fresh water is supplied to the fields through the process of irrigation.

The practice of supplying water to an area of land through pipes or channels for growing crops is know as irrigation. Tube wells, sprinklers and canals are some methods of irrigation that most farmers in India use.
Let us know more about them:
- Tube wells are used to supply underground water tunnels. These are dug in places where water is found deep below the earth's surface. The underground water is brought to the surface with the help of a pump;
- Sprinkler irrigation is another method of supplying water to the fields. It is done with the help of a device which is attached to pipes. A pump is used to force the water out to the pipes. Sprinklers distribute water on the fields like natural rainfall;
- A canal is a long and slightly narrow passage that is dug in the ground to carry water to the fields. Canals get water from rivers. Some canals also get water from reservoirs of dams.
- Damns are built across a river in order to prevent the water from flowing. The river water is stored in a reservoir behind the dam. The water stored in here is then taken to the fields through canals.
Dams are useful to us in many ways; they are used to generate hydroelectricity. They also hold the excess water flowing in the river and prevent floods. When dams serve more than one purpose, they are called multipurpose projects.

Have you seen any of these methods of irrigation used for watering fields?

Large-scale Irrigation in Saskatchewan

Close to the community of Outlook, I stopped by Golden Dee Farms LTD, where I met with grain farmer Anthony Eliason. I spent the day touring his farm and learning everything from the types of irrigation systems available, to where the water comes from and is transferred to the field. On this day, Anthony showed me the system that he uses, and what's involved in operating a centre-pivot irrigation system.

Grow More with Less (Water)

Back in the 1950s, an Israeli engineer and inventor developed the first modern drip irrigation system.
It was a much-needed invention in the arid climate and water scarcity faced by a Middle Eastern nation.
And, today, it is probably the world's most valued agro-technology.
Since then, Israeli experts have come up with many new and innovative agricultural technologies for optimal water usage and conservation, with one major goal in mind: grow more with less.

Poly-Pipe crop irrigation in Arkansas

For anyone wondering what agricultural Poly-Pipe looks like, this is what it looks like. It is used for surface irrigation of crop fields. In order to use it, however, usually the field must be leveled and put to a grade in order for the water to run down the rows evenly. These fields are in northeastern Arkansas and the crop year is 2012.

Drip Irrigation System in Rozella | බිංදු වාරිමාර්ග පද්ධතිය, Upcountry Sri Lanka (2020)

Drip Irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone and minimize evaporation.

Drip Irrigation Systems distribute water through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. Depending on how well designed, installed, maintained, and operated it is, a drip irrigation system can be more efficient than other types of irrigation systems, such as Surface Irrigation or Sprinkler Irrigation.

This documentary video was done at a newly started Cardamom (also called as Cardamon or Cardomum) Plantation in Rozella, small upcountry village in Sri Lanka close to Hatton in Nuwara Eliya District. One of my friends initiated and completed this project with minimum help. There were no experts or agriculture consultants to help him and all the work was done through self-learning and practicing at ground level.

Utilizing the increasingly scarce water resource, especially in Upcountry of Sri Lanka due to unprecedented deforestation, this project proved how valuable and efficient the Drip Irrigation Systems are.

Diesel powered irrigation pump - India

India has many rivers whose total catchment area is estimated to be 252.8 million ha (mha) Out of about 1 869 km3 of surface water resources, about 690 km3 of water is available for different uses. The ultimate irrigation potential of the country has been estimated to be 139.5 mha. India has acquired an irrigation potential of about 84.9 mha against the ultimate irrigation potential. About 360 km3 of groundwater is also available for irrigation. For soil and water conservation on agricultural lands, both agronomic and mechanical measures are deployed, such as contour farming, management of soil fertility, water nutrient interrelationship, balanced IPNS system and micronutrients. The paper gives details on irrigation water management for major crops in India: rice, wheat, maize, pulses, pigeon pea, gram, mung bean, black gram, field peas, lentil, oil seed crops, sugar cane and cotton. Irrigation is implemented through various methods such as border irrigation, basin irrigation, sprinklers and drip irrigation.

Water is the most critical input for enhancing agricultural productivity, and therefore expansion of irrigation has been a key strategy in the development of agriculture in the country. The ultimate irrigation potential of India has been estimated to be 139.5 mha, comprising 58.5 mha from major and medium schemes, 15 mha from minor irrigation schemes and 66 mha from groundwater exploitation. India’s irrigation potential has increased from 22.6 mha in 1951 to about 90 mha at the end of 1995. It is estimated that even after achieving the full irrigation potential, nearly 50 percent of the total cultivated area will remain rain fed.

If we analyse agricultural growth during the past four decades, we find that high-yielding varieties, irrigated area expansion and fertilizer use have been the major factors contributing to the achievement of green revolution in India. The present level of consumption of total nutrients (NPK) is 14.3 million tonnes/year. On an all-India basis, per-hectare consumption of fertilizer (NPK), which was a meagre 2.0 kg/ha during the early sixties, has risen tremendously during the last 35 years or so, to a level of 76.5 kg/ha.

The share of water use other than for agriculture was only 13 percent in 1985, which is likely to become 27 percent by 2025. Such a fast growth of water need in the face of emerging supply constraints is likely to result in a wide supply gap for irrigation water in the near future.

kermanland,chapter one, episode 18: Ghanvat Bam

A qanat or kariz is a gently sloping underground channel to transport water from an aquifer or water well to surface for irrigation and drinking, acting as an underground aqueduct. This is an old system of water supply from a deep well with a series of vertical access shafts. The qanats still create a reliable supply of water for human settlements and irrigation in hot, arid, and semi-arid climates, but the value of this system is directly related to the quality, volume, and regularity of the water flow. Traditionally qanats are built by a group of skilled laborers, muqannīs, with hand labor. The profession historically paid well and was typically handed down from father to son. According to most sources, the qanat technology was developed in ancient Iran by the Persian people sometime in the early 1st millennium BC, and spread from there slowly westward and eastward However, some other sources suggest a Southeast Arabian origin

Irrigation water for agricultural purposes, West Bengal

West Bengal is a state in the eastern region of India and is the nation's fourth-most populous. It is also the seventh-most populous sub-national entity in the world, with over 91 million inhabitants. Spread over 34,267 sq mi (88,750 km2), it is bordered by the countries of Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh, and the Indian states of Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, Sikkim, and Assam. The state capital is Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). West Bengal encompasses two broad natural regions: the Gangetic Plain in the south and the sub-Himalayan and Himalayan area in the north. West Bengal is on the eastern bottleneck of India, stretching from the Himalayas in the north to the Bay of Bengal in the south. The state has a total area of 88,752 square kilometres (34,267 sq mi).

The Darjeeling Himalayan hill region in the northern extreme of the state belongs to the eastern Himalaya. This region contains Sandakfu (3,636 m or 11,929 ft)—the highest peak of the state. The narrow Terai region separates this region from the plains, which in turn transitions into the Ganges delta towards the south. The Rarh region intervenes between the Ganges delta in the east and the western plateau and high lands. A small coastal region is on the extreme south, while the Sundarbans mangrove forests form a remarkable geographical landmark at the Ganges delta.

The capital and largest city of the state is Kolkata -- the third-largest urban agglomeration[65] and the seventh-largest city in India. Asansol is the second largest city & urban agglomeration in West Bengal after Kolkata. Siliguri is an economically important city, strategically located in the northeastern Siliguri Corridor (Chicken's Neck) of India. Other major cities and towns in West Bengal are Howrah, Durgapur, Raniganj, Haldia, Jalpaiguri, Kharagpur, Burdwan, Darjeeling, Midnapore, and Malda.
