Are there any advantages of moat irrigation method? Something that could prove that traditional method is better than modern method? Like for debates
Are there any advantages of moat irrigation method? Something that could prove that traditional method is better than modern method? Like for debates
I will give advantages of traditional methods and disadvantages of modern method.
TRADITIONAL METHODS:
*Check Basin Method:
1. It is the best method of irrigation for leveled fields. 2. It does not require any technical knowledge.
3. This method is more useful in soils having lesser infiltration.
4. In this method, rain water stays in basins, hence soil erosion is not caused.
5. It has lesser economic investment.
6. It irrigates more area.
7. Crops gets sufficient water.
Furrow Irrigation Method:
1. Large areas can be irrigated at a time.
2. It saves labour since once the furrow is filled, it is not necessary to give water a second time.
3. It is a comparatively cheaper method.
4. Plants gets suitable quantity of water by this method.
Strip Irrigation Method:
1. It is possible to irrigate more area at a lesser expenditure.
2. It requires less labour.
3. Method of irrigation is easy and it causes lesser erosion.
Basin Irrigation Method:
1. It saves time. Once the water is opened, it reaches other trees automatically.
2. Its economic investment is less.
3. It is beneficial for more trees.
MODERN METHODS
Sprinkler Irrigation Method:
1. Sprinkler irrigation method is expensive.
2. It requires technical knowledge.
3. Sprinkler irrigation method cannot be used in all crops.
4. Crop is damaged by changing sprinkler system again and again.
5. Water to be used in sprinkler method should be clean.
Drip Irrigation:
1. Drip irrigation method is expensive.
2. It requires special technical knowledge for successful operation of this method.
3. In heavy soils, it creates problems of flow and water blockages.
4. Plants are able to get nutritive elements in a very limited area.
5. It is not suitable for every crop.
6. Utmost care has to be taken for holes of drippers, because soil may come along with water at any time, which will prevent water dripping smoothing from holes.
7. Animals may cause damage to branch pipelines and dripper pipelines.
8. Most of the drippers work on pressure. Wherever land is sloppy, pressure on valves increases by 50 to 10 per cent, which results in stoppage of working of valves on the upper side.
Pot Irrigation Method:
1. Irrigation in this method is possible in a limited area.
(Pot irrigation method is more suitable for areas having scanty rainfall. In saline areas where flow irrigation is not suited,)
2. This method requires clean water because unclean water would cause blockage of minor holes, which would not be able to provide moisture any longer.
3. It is costly to draw out pitchers again and again and re-fix them.
4. It is not suitable for every crop.
