Traditional irrigation techniques

Traditional irrigation techniques are methods used to water crops that have been practiced for generations. These include surface methods like furrow or flood irrigation, where water is directed over fields, and contour or basin irrigation, which follow the natural shape of the land. Other methods involve watering plants individually with channels or buckets. These techniques rely on gravity and manual labor, and they often suit specific soil types and crop needs. While simple and low-cost, they can be less efficient and may lead to water waste if not carefully managed.
