Irrigation management means the management of water and their Resources for better growth and development of crops and Soil and to obtain better yield by efficient use of water without any damage or disturbing the environment.

Water resources for Irrigation

General Resources (sources) of water for Irrigation –

1. Rainfall
2. Sea
3. Tube well
4. Pump
5. River
6. Pond
7. Well, etc.

Main Source of water –

Rainfall is the main source of all kinds of water. Based on its source, it can be classified as 2 types –

1. Surface water
2. Sub – Surface water

1. Surface water = the water that is available above the surface of earth. Such as – water available from River, tank, pond, lack, etc.
2. Sub – surface water = the water that is available under the surface of earth. Such as – underground water, well water etc.

Rainfall

Rainfall has mainly 4 season –

Good Rainfall 

we can say the rainfall is good that contains following characteristics –

1. Intensity or rainfall should be low that suit the soil absorption capacity.
2. Quantity should be sufficient to replace the moisture depleted from the root zone.
3. Frequency of rainfall is uniformly distributed place to place.

Note- but Indian rainfall does not have any good characteristics as above.

Characteristics of Indian Rainfall-

1. The annual average rainfall of India is 1190.mm.
2. There is a large variation in the receiving of quantity rainfall from one place to other.
