Irrigation Management Ebook for NABARD Grade A – Types of Irrigation – Classification-I
There are different types of irrigation systems, on the basis of how the water is distributed throughout the field. We can categorize them into traditional and modern types. Let’s look into it in more detail:
» Surface Irrigation
It is the oldest system of irrigation. In this system, water moves across the land, mainly by gravity, from the area of higher elevation to that of the lower region in order to wet the soil and to infiltrate into the soil.
» Micro Irrigation or Localized Irrigation
Water is distributed under low pressure, through a piped network and applied to each plant in Micro or Localized Irrigation.
» Drip Irrigation
Also a type of Micro Irrigation, this system involves the usage of tubes that are used to pump water throughout the field. Here, the water is delivered in the form of water droplets directly to the roots of plants.
» Sprinkler Irrigation
Water is distributed by overhead high-pressure sprinklers or guns from one or more central locations within the field or from sprinklers on moving platforms. It can also be in the form of rotary irrigation in which the sprinkler whirls around to distribute water in a circular motion.
» Center pivot Irrigation
This system also involves sprinklers but here, the water is distributed by a system of sprinklers that are mounted on wheeled towers and sprinkle water over the crops in a circular manner.
» Lateral Move irrigation
Water is distributed through a series of pipes, each with a wheel of about 1.5 m diameter and a set of sprinklers. Water is supplied from one end using a large hose. The hose has been removed and the whole assembly needs to be rolled either by hand or with any mechanism to move the sprinkler to another position when sufficient irrigation has been done on one strip of the field.
» Sub-Irrigation
Sub-irrigation is most effective in areas that have high water tables. Here, the water is distributed across the land by raising the water table, through a system of pumping stations, canals, weirs, gates, and ditches.

» Traditional Irrigation System
The water available in wells, lakes, and canals is lifted up by different methods in different regions, for taking it to the fields. Cattle or human labor is used in these methods. So these methods are cheaper but less efficient. The various traditional ways are:
» Moat (Pulley System)
This system involves manually pulling up water from a well with the help of a pulley to irrigate the land.
» Chain Pump
A chain pump consists of two large wheels connected by an endless chain. The bottom wheel is half immersed in the water source. The buckets are attached to the chain. As the wheel turns, the buckets attached to it pick up water. The chain later lifts the buckets to the upper wheel where the water gets deposited into a source and the empty bucket gets carried back down.
» Dhekli
This system involves drawing water from a well or any similar source. Here, a rope and a bucket is tied to the pole and at the other end, a heavy stick is tied to counterbalance. This pole is used to draw up water.
» Rahat (Lever System)
In this system of irrigation, water is drawn out of the well-using animals/ cattle. Animals like cows, buffalo, etc. are connected to the wheel. As the animals move, the wheels rotate which helps to draw water from the well.
