Drainage and irrigation
Drainage and irrigation are essential for managing water in agriculture and landscapes. Drainage involves removing excess water from soil to prevent waterlogging, which can harm plants and reduce productivity. It often uses channels, pipes, or tiles to direct surplus water away. Irrigation, on the other hand, supplies water to plants when natural rainfall isn’t enough, ensuring proper growth. It can be achieved through various methods like sprinklers, drip systems, or flooding. Both practices help maintain optimal soil moisture levels, supporting healthy plant development and efficient land use.
