Question

Which of the following irrigation technique can reduce water wastage while cultivating crops?

• A. Drip irrigation
• B. Bore wells
• C. Open wells
• D. Canals

Answer 1

The correct option is A Drip irrigation

Drip irrigation is an irrigation technique in which the plants are watered by using narrow tubings. These tubes deliver water to the plant directly to the root of the plant. This reduces the wastage of water.


Borewells, open wells and canals are also irrigation techniques. However, the wastage of water is least in drip irrigation.
