1. JOURNEY OF IRRIGATION METHODS

2. Traditional irrigation method
•Joto is one of the method
• Source is human power
•Persian Water Wheel method
• Source is animal power
•Chakram irrigation method
• Source is human power

4. Engine era
•Peter type diesel engine
• Maintenance is too much.
• Diesel and Mobil oil consumption.
•Tractor powered water pump
• Source is tractor engine.
• Not available at every place.

5. Electric water pumps era
•Ground pumps
• Source is Electricity
• To much costly
• Un-protected from rain
• Load shedding
•Submersible water pumps
• Difficult Maintenance
• Costly
• Specially design well

6. Solar panels era
•Solar powered DC submersible pump
• Decrease growing demand of electricity operated irrigation pumps.
• Reduce dependency on imported liquid fuel (Diesel).
• Reduce installation space.
•Solar powered AC ground pump
• Large PV arrays are required.
• Un-protected from rain.

7. Modern irrigation methods
•Sprinkler Irrigation Method
• Water sprinklers are used to irrigate the field.
• sprinklers are connected directly with the pump.
•Drip Irrigation Method
• Through a network of valves, tubes, and emitters.
• Delivery of water directly to the roots.
•Moisture sensor Irrigation Method.
• estimate soil volumetric water content.
• Irrigate the field as per requirement.
• Reduce the number of unnecessary irrigation events.
