Question

Sprinkler system of irrigation is very advantageous because:

• A. It helps the field to get water logged
• B. It efficiently uses the water
• C. It increases the evaporation of water
• D. It decreases the fertility of soil

Answer 1

The correct option is B It efficiently uses the water

In a sprinkler system, perpendicular pipes consisting of rotating nozzles on top are placed along the field. These pipes are connected to a main pipeline. Water flows through this main pipeline under the pressure provided by a pump. This pressure makes the water escape from the nozzles and reach far and wide across the field. This method of irrigation is useful even for an uneven land where sufficient water is not available.
