Question

What type of irrigation method is also called as trickle irrigation?

(a) Sprinkler Irrigation Method

(b) Furrow Irrigation Method

(c) Drip Irrigation Method

(d) Check Flooding

I got this question during an interview.

Question is taken from Techniques of Water Distribution in the Farms topic in portion Water Requirements of Crops of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Drip Irrigation Method

To explain I would say: In this type of method, it involves laying a system of head, mains, sub-mains, laterals, and drip nozzles. From these nozzles, water oozes or trickles out at a small rate into the plant roots area. Hence the name trickle irrigation method.
