Basin irrigation: In this method, the water is applied to leveled field that is bounded by dikes/ridges or check banks to stop runoff. Border irrigation: Method of irrigation in which parallel border strips are used where the water flows down the slope at a nearly uniform depth.
The upgrading of basin irrigation, the main irrigation method, is essential and includes the adoption of precise land levelling, cut-off management, improved water distribution uniformity, and adequate irrigation scheduling.
16 lis 2007 · Basin irrigation is the irrigation method used in HID. Basins were designed as paddies and are generally wide and short, and are used for a long rotation including rice and upland crops. Fields were initially flat but after cultivation they have a near-zero slope. Surface drainage is generally available.
In this e-learning module you will get an overview on the extensive and many aspects covering topic IWRM. The primarily focus lies on technical measures. Not only the current and new possibilities of technology are presented here but also traditional measures which are often very sustainable and are used in many countries.
Basin irrigation offers several environmental benefits, including improved soil health and reduced erosion. By allowing water to infiltrate slowly into the soil, this method promotes better soil structure and microbial activity, enhancing nutrient cycling.
Basin and border irrigation systems are designed for lowland rice irrigation while furrow irrigation is mostly for corn and sugarcane. The methods discussed in this standard are primarily intended for areas for development where irrigation systems do not exist yet.
Chapter 7 discusses under which circumstances to choose basin irrigation. Basin irrigation is suitable for many field crops. Paddy rice grows best when its roots are submerged in water and so basin irrigation is the best method to use for this crop (Figure 7). Figure 7 Basin irrigation; transplanting paddy rice.
