  1. Water Requirements are Effected by: • The crop being grown • Climate • Season • Soil Conditions • Method of Application

  2. Used where the land is nearly level Often used in orchards, and vineyards A mild slope of 0.1 to 0.4 ft per 100 ft. is often used Border/Flood Irrigation:

  3. Furrow Irrigation: • Water runs down furrows in-between plants • Efficient with water use, but labor intensive • Uniform crop maturity is obtainable as the soil is uniformly water

  4. Used when flood or furrow systems are impractical Leveling is not necessary Sprinklers may be used for frost control Lower incidence of erosion Higher initial costs and power costs Sprinkler Irrigation:

  5. Drip Irrigation: • Very efficient water use • Easy to fertilize or apply pesticides through the system • Expensive initial costs • Labor intensive • Salts tend to build up around emitters
