Solution
Farmers get water for growing their crops through the method called Irrigation.
Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the soil through various systems of tubes, pumps, and sprays.
Irrigation is usually used in areas where rainfall is irregular or dry times or drought is expected.
There are many types of irrigation systems, in which water is supplied to the entire field uniformly.
Irrigation water can come from groundwater, through springs or wells, surface water, through rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, or even other sources, such as treated wastewater or desalinated water.
