{i} irrigation
The application of water to crops, lawns, and gardens by arteficial means to supplement natural precipitation Water can be applied by spreading, sprinkling, or dripping (Rice (1991))
Artificial supply of water to land, to maintain or increase yields of food crops, a critical element of modern agriculture. Irrigation can compensate for the naturally variable rate and volume of rain. Water is pumped from natural ponds, lakes, streams, and wells; basin systems and dams hold back larger streams and annual floods. Below the dam, gates to concrete-lined canals are opened, conveying the water over the land through gravity flow. More elaborate, expensive canals flow from huge constructed reservoirs, which hold a year-round water supply. Today portable irrigation systems of lightweight aluminum pipe are in wide use. Drip irrigation, a newer method, uses narrow tubing to supply water directly to the base of each plant. Agricultural irrigation, water towers, and machines invented to lift and distribute water are ancient innovations. Early Egyptians were irrigating with Nile River water by 5000 BC, and such other ancient civilizations as Babylon and China seem to have developed largely as a result of irrigation-based agriculture

Applying water (or wastewater) to land areas to supply the water (and sometimes nutrient) needs of plants Techniques for irrigating include furrow irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, trickle (or drip) irrigation, and flooding About 51 million acres of land are irrigated in the United States More acres of corn are irrigated than any other crop, but only about 15% of the harvested acres In contrast, irrigation is used for 100% of rice, 81% of orchards, 64% of vegetables, and 36% of cotton About 40% of freshwater withdrawals in the nation are for irrigation, making agriculture the single largest user of water Nearly 90% of all irrigation water withdrawals are in the western states, where in some areas competition for available supplies among uses, including base stream flow, has become controversial Consumptive use as a percent of withdrawals is about 61% for irrigation
