Classic Irrigation

Classic Irrigation: A Broad Term

Classic irrigation is a rather broad term that encompasses a variety of traditional irrigation methods which many of them have been practiced for centuries. Traditionally, they typically rely on gravity and manual labor, rather than mechanized systems.

Here are some common examples of this irrigation methods:

Surface Irrigation

  • Flood irrigation: Water releases onto the field, where it flows across the land and soaks into the soil.

    Furrow irrigation: There are furrows between crop rows. Then water channels through those furrows.

    Border irrigation: Water would direct into the enclosed areas and advance across the field.

Lift Irrigation

  • Pumping: Water lifts up from a lower source (like a river or well) to a higher elevation for distribution.
  • Ditch and canal systems: These systems transport water from a source to agricultural fields.

Limitations

While these methods are simple and often low-cost, they can be inefficient in terms of water use, labor intensive, and also susceptible to waterlogging and erosion.

Classic or Surface Irrigation

Surface Irrigation (Flood or Furrow) is a common form of classic irrigation, likely either flood or furrow irrigation. You can see how water is distributed across the field using gravity.
