crop irrigation
Farming water supply
Crop irrigation is the artificial application of water to agricultural land.
While rain provides natural irrigation, the term usually refers to deliberate watering through canals, sprinklers, drip systems, or flooding: The region's crop irrigation depends on snowmelt from the mountains.
Efficient crop irrigation balances plant needs against water scarcity.
