BANGLADESH.
1. Irrigation is an artificial application of water to the soil 2. It is usually used to assist in growing crops in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall
Additionally, irrigation also has a
few other uses in crop production,
which include :
1.protecting plants against frost,
2.suppressing weed growing in
grain fields
3.helping in preventing soil
consolation
HISTORY OF IRRIGATION
• In the Zana Valley of Peru, archaeologists found remains of three irrigation canals radiocarbon dated from the 4th millennium BCE, the 3rd millennium BCE and the 9th century CE.
• These canals are the earliest record of irrigation in the New World.

Irrigation systems were developed in
Indian Sub-continent by :
• The Indus Valley Civilization in Pakistan
and North India.
• The reservoirs at Girnar in 3000 BCE.
• An early canal irrigation system from
circa 2600 BCE.

PRESENT EXTENT OF
IRRIGATION
#2,788,000 km² of agricultural land was
equipped with irrigation infrastructure.
#The largest contiguous areas of high
irrigation density are found in North India
and Pakistan along the rivers Ganges.
PERCENTAGE OF IRRIGATION
ASIA 68%
AMERICA 17%
EUROPE 9%
AFRICA
5%
OCENIA
1%
IN THE WORLD
TYPES OF IRRIGATION
• Surface irrigation
• Center pivot irrigation
• Lateral move irrigation
• Localized irrigation
TYPES OF IRRIGATION:
• Water moves over and across the land by
gravity flow in order to wet it and to infiltrate
into the soil.
• Often called flood irrigation.
• Historically, this has been the most common
method of irrigating agricultural land.
• This method of irrigating is covered above
70% land in our country.
SURFACE IRRIGATION
Surface irrigation can be subdivided
into two types. • Border Strips or Basin Flood:
– Strips of land with dikes on the sides
– Usually graded but with no cross slope
– Downstream end may be diked
• Furrow:
– Small channels carry the water (entire surface is
not wet)
– Commonly used on row crops
– Lateral as well as vertical infiltration
– Furrows are usually graded

WATER SUPPLY
• Methods of water supply
–Head ditch with siphon tubes or side-
opening gates
–Gated pipe (aluminum or plastic pipe with
small gates that can be opened and closed)
–Buried pipeline with periodically spaced
valves at the surface
CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION
• Is a form of sprinkler irrigation.
• Consisting of several segments of pipe (usually galvanized steel or aluminum) joined together and supported by trusses.
• Mounted on wheeled towers with sprinklers.
• System moves in a circular pattern.
• These systems are common in parts of the United States where terrain is flat.
CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION:

LATERAL MOVE IRRIGATION
LATERAL MOVE IRRIGATION: • A series of pipes, each with a wheel is affixed
to its midpoint and sprinklers along its length.
• Water is supplied at one end using a large
hose.
• After sufficient water has been applied, the
hose is removed.
• The hose is reconnected.
• The process is repeated until the opposite edge
of the field is reached.
LATERAL MOVE IRRIGATION:
• This system is less expensive to install.
• Much more labor intensive to operate.
• It is limited in the amount of water it can
carry.
• They are most often used for small or
oddly-shaped fields, such as those found in
hilly or mountainous regions, or in regions
where labor is inexpensive.

LOCALIZED IRRIGATION
LOCALIZED IRRIGATION:
• Water is distributed under low pressure
through a piped network.
• Applied as a small discharge to each plant or
adjacent to it.
IT MAY BE DIFFERENT KINDS: 1.Drip irrigation
2.Sprinkler irrigation
3.bubbler irrigation
DRIP IRRIGATION
1.Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation,
functions as its name suggests.
2.Water is delivered at or near the root zone of plants,
drop by drop.
3.This method can be the most water-efficient method
of irrigation, if managed properly, since evaporation
and runoff are minimized.
4.In modern agriculture, drip irrigation is often
combined with plastic mulch, further reducing
evaporation, and is also the means of delivery of
fertilizer.

Advantages of Drip Irrigation
• Delivers water slowly.
• Minimizes water loss due to runoff.
• Useful in windy areas.
• Less evaporation.
• Less splash that may spread fungal.
• spores, bacteria to other plants.
IRRIGATION IN CONTEXT OF BANGLADESH
• The most common system of Irrigation in our
country is Surface Irrigation.
• About 70% water source is Groundwater.
• It is two types by its mechanism.
1.Traditional Irrigation.
2.Manual Pump Irrigation.
3.Power Pump Irrigation

Problems Generated by Irrigation
1.The maximum irrigation is occuring in
the North-west zone of Bangladesh & the
groundwater level is decreasing day by
day in this zone.
Areas which use maximum Groundwater
2.Excess irrigation causes Arsenic
contamination which may cause
great disaster in future.
3.Excess irrigation can influence
Earthquake.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO ?
• We have to use effective Irrigation system.
• We have to reduce Water wastage.
• In this context bucket drip Irrigation is so
Effective.
Bucket Drip Irrigation Kits: •Filter screen •Water Supply Line •Drip Line
Bucket
Water Supply Lines
Filter
Stand
Drip Lines
Need to add: •Bucket •Stand •Plants
•Look for wet spots •Mark them •Place plants where there is a drip
Can also flush the lines
This is done by opening the ends of the drip lines and pouring clean water through it.
Such kind of structures that can reduce wastage of Water.
So we use……
