What are the advantages of water-saving irrigation?

Common water-saving methods currently used in our countryIrrigationMethods include canal lining, sprinkler irrigation, micro-sprinkler irrigation, infiltration irrigation, and drip irrigation, all of which involve artificially controlling irrigation opportunities and water volume, belonging to a "passive" irrigation model. Israeli drip irrigation technology is recognized as the most effective water-saving irrigation technology currently available. Since its introduction to China in the late 1970s, it has made significant progress. This article introduces the advantages of water-saving irrigation.

1. Significant water-saving effect, water utilization rate can reach 80%. In general, compared with surface irrigation, 1 cubic meter of water can be used as 2 cubic meters of water with sprinkler irrigation.

2. Crop yield fluctuates greatly, generally reaching 20%-40%. This is because it cancels out the farm canals, ditches, field irrigation ditches, and ridges, increasing the sowing area by 15%-20%; irrigation is uniform, the soil is not compacted, which is conducive to seizing the season, preserving seedlings; improves the microclimate and agricultural ecological environment in the field.
3. Greatly reduces the workload of building and maintaining field canal systems and leveling land.
4. Reduces farmers' expenses and labor for irrigation, increasing farmers' income.
5. It is conducive to accelerating the realization of agricultural mechanization, industrialization, and modernization.
6. Prevent secondary soil salinization caused by excessive irrigation. Commonly used sprinkler irrigation includes pipeline type, lateral move type, center pivot type, reel type, and small and light units.
