irrigation engineering

Irrigation engineering is a field that focuses on designing and managing systems to supply water to agriculture and land for productive use. It involves planning, creating, and maintaining methods like canals, pipes, and sprinklers to ensure crops receive adequate water, especially during dry periods. The goal is to optimize water use, improve crop yield, and prevent water waste or land damage. Irrigation engineers consider factors such as water sources, soil type, climate, and technology to develop sustainable solutions that support farming and water conservation.
