   Irrigation maybe defined as the process of supplying water to land by artificial means for the purpose of cultivation.  Ordinarily water is supplied to land by nature through rain but generally it is not enough for the proper growth of plants.  As such as the basic objective of irrigation is to supplement the natural supply of water to land so as to obtain they an optimum yield from the crop grown on the land.

   Drip irrigation,is also known as trickle irrigation or micro irrigation or localized irrigation, is an irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters.

   Pumping set Filters  Mainlines  Sub-main lines  Laterals  Emitters
• 6.
  Pumping set: To createa pressure about 2.5 Kg/sq cm to regulate the amount of water to be supplied. •Filter : To filter the water in Order to remove the suspended impurities from water.
• 7.
  Main lines: It isa Distribution system in drip irrigation. Rigid PVC and high density polyethylene pipes are used as main pipes to minimized corrosion and clogging. Pipes of 65 mm diameter and with pressure rating of 4 to 10 kg/sq. cm Sub Main lines: It is usually connected to the main lines through a control valve assembly.
• 8.
  Emitters These connect tothe tubing or can be inside the tubing and deliver water at a slow, consistent rate, usually, 0.5, 1, 2 gallons per hour.

   Drip irrigationsaves water because little is lost to runoff or evaporation.  This watering method also promotes healthy plant growth, controls weed growth, and reduces pest problems.
• 10.
   Surface IrrigationMethods: The water is applied by spreading in it sheets or small streams on the land to be irrigated.
• 11.
  Sub-Surface Irrigation Methods:The water is applied below the ground surface so that it is supplied directly to the root zone of the plants.
• 12.
  Sprinkler Irrigation Methods: Theirrigation water is applied to the land in the form of spray, somewhat as in ordinary rain.
• 13.
  Drip irrigation isuseful for crop Fruit crops : Banana, Grapes, Citrus, Pomegranate ,Papaya, Pineapple, Watermelon, Sweet lime, Mango. Vegetable crops : Cabbage, Cauliflower, Okra, Tomato, Potato, Onion, Chillis, Radish, Brinjal, French been, Capsicum, Bhindi, Beans, Carrots, Cucumber, Bottle gourd, Gherkins. Commercial crops : Sugarcane, Cotton, Ground nut.

   Drip irrigationis a latest sub-surface method of irrigating water with higher water demands in arid region.  It may not be applicable to all farms.  Drip irrigation increase yields.
