Drip irrigation involves the localized release of water near the root zones, which is economical. In furrow irrigation the water is given along the furrows. The water requirement in drip irrigation is about 2 liter/day/plant. Compared to furrow irrigation, there is saving of about 40% water in drip irrigation.
