NGSS.MS-ESS3-4

The most expensive but most efficient method of irrigation is

• Sprinkler

• surface

• Drip

• Basin

Water is distributed over and across land by gravity, no mechanical pump involved.

• Drip irrigation

• Surface irrigation

• Center pivot irrigation

• Lateral move irrigation

Water is distributed through a series of pipes, each with a wheel and a set of sprinklers, which are rotated either by hand or with a purpose-built mechanism. The sprinklers move a certain distance across the field and then need to have the water hose reconnected for the next distance. This system tends to be less expensive but requires more labor than others.

• Lateral move irrigation

• Manual irrigation

• Drip irrigation

• Manual irrigation

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

Water is distributed across land by raising the water table, through a system of pumping stations, canals, gates, and ditches. This type of irrigation is most effective in areas with high water tables.

• Sub-irrigation

• Manual irrigation

• Sprinkler irrigation

• Manual irrigation
