A) Surface Irrigation B) Lift Irrigation C) Sprinkler Irrigation D) Sub–surface Irrigation
Percentage of water available on earth that is saline is
Irrigation Engineering
(a) 33% (b) 67% (c) 97% (d) 0%
Which is NOT a method of controlled flooding in irrigation methods?
Irrigation Engineering
(a) Contour (b) Ring basin (c) Check basin (d) Border strip
Which of the following soil types is suitable for sprinkler irrigation?
Irrigation Engineering
(a) When land is steep and soil is easily erodible (b) when the crops are deeply rooted (c) when soil of low permeability is used (d) when water table is very low
Which irrigation method is adopted when the land gradient is steeper and soil is easily erodible?
Irrigation Engineering
A. Furrow irrigation method B. Basin irrigation method C. Sprinkler irrigation method D. Drip irrigation method Ans (c) : Sprinkler irrigation Explanation:- The sprinkler method consists of applying the water in the form of a spray some what as in ordinary rain, as is done in the garden lawn sprinkling. This method is more useful, where : (i) The land cannot be prepared for surface method. (ii) Slopes are excessive or Hilly areas or uneven areas. (iii) Topography is irregular (iv) Soil is erosive (v) Soil is excessively permeable or impermeable (vi) Depth of soil is shallow over gravel or …
