IRRIGATION
Irrigation may be defined as the process of supplying water by

artificial means to agricultural fields for crop production.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Artificial – made or produced by human being rather than
occurring naturally,
• especially as a copy of something natural.
• Estimation – a rough calculation of the value, number, quantity
or extent of something.
• Turgidity – is the state of being turgid or swollen, especially
due to high fluid content.
• Protoplasm – colorless material comprising the living part of a
cell

DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Transpiration – process of water movement through a plants
and its evaporation from
• aerial plants.
• Photosynthesis – process by without green plants and certain
organisms transform
• light energy into chemical energy.
• Photoplasm – living part of a cell that is surrounded by a
plasma membrane.

CONSTRUCTION OF IRRIGATION
SYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES

CONSTRUCTION OF IRRIGATION
SYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES
• The Philippines has about 10.3 million hectares agricultural lands. Out of this, around
3.1 million hectares are considered irrigable, with up to 3% slope, and primarily
devoted to rice and corn.
• A study of the World Bank, however, identified more than 6.1 million hectares of
irrigable, including areas that are relatively more difficult to irrigate and up to 8% slope.
• As of December 2015, about 1.731 million hectares or 57.3 percent of the 3.1 million
hectares have been developed for irrigation. Of the total area under irrigation, about
754,665 hectares is under National Irrigation System (NIS); 615,797 hectares under
Communal
• Irrigation System that are constructed through private initiatives.

THREE CATEGORIES OF IRRIGATION
SYSTEM
•1. National Irrigation System
(NIS)
•2. Communal Irrigation System
(CIS)
•3. Private Irrigation System
IMPORTANCE
OF IRRIGATION
1. Plants contain 90% of water.
2. Water is an essential part of protoplasm.
3. It regulates the temperature of the plant system.
4. It is essential to meet the transpiration requirement.
5. It serves as a medium for dissolving the nutrients present in

the soil.
6. It is an important ingredient in the photosynthesis.

Differentiate Designs of
Irrigation Systems

DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Surface soil – the upper 5 to 8 inches of the soil layer: the portion of
the soil usually tilled.
• Subsurface soil – earth material (such as rock) near but not exposed
at the surface of the ground.
• gravity – a force of attraction that tends to draw particles or bodies
together.
• system – a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items
forming a unified whole.
• Irrigated – to supply (land or crops) with water by means of pipes,
sprinklers, ditches or streams.
• Polyethylene pipe – is a type of flexible plastic pipe for fluid and gas
transfer and is often used to replace ageing concrete or steel
pipelines.
IRRIGATION METHODS AND
DESIGN
•1. Surface irrigation is where water is
applied and distributed over the soil
surface by gravity. It is by far the most
common form of irrigation throughout
the world and has been practiced in
many areas virtually unchanged for
thousands of years.
SURFACE IRRIGATION

Sprinkler Irrigation
• is a method of applying irrigation water
which is similar to rainfall. Water is
distributed through a system of pipes
usually by pumping. It is then sprayed
into the air and irrigated entire soil
surface through spray heads so that it
breaksup into small water drops which
fall to the ground.
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION

Drip irrigation
is a type of micro-irrigation system
that has the potential to save water
and nutrients by allowing water to drip
slowly to the roots of plants, either
from above the soil surface or buried
below the surface.
DRIP IRRIGATION

Subsurface irrigation
•uses a network of polyethylene pipes
located just under the ground's
surface to apply disinfected effluent
in the root zone of plants, preventing
airborne drift and minimizing runoff.
