# Irrigation Methods **Main irrigation methods include:** 1. **Surface irrigation** - Water flows over the soil surface by gravity (furrows, basins, or borders) 2. **Sprinkler irrigation** - Water sprayed through the air like rainfall 3. **Drip/micro irrigation** - Water delivered directly to plant roots through tubes and emitters 4. **Subsurface irrigation** - Water applied below the soil surface ## Common Misconception **"More water always means better crop growth"** Many people believe that increasing irrigation automatically improves yields, but this is false. **Overwatering** can be just as harmful as underwatering by: - Drowning roots and reducing oxygen availability - Leaching nutrients below the root zone - Promoting disease and root rot - Wasting water and energy The key is applying the *right amount* of water at the *right time* based on crop needs, soil type, and weather conditions—not simply maximizing water application.
