basin irrigation

Basin irrigation is a method of watering fields by dividing the land into natural or constructed depressions called basins. These basins are flooded with water from rivers, channels, or reservoirs, allowing the water to soak into the soil gradually. This technique minimizes water wastage and controls distribution, making it efficient for crops that need consistent moisture. It is widely used in areas with flat terrain and reliable water sources, and it helps maintain soil health while optimizing water use for agricultural productivity.
