Worldwide Adaptation
World irrigated land: 276 Mha
Three-quarters of the worlds irrigated area
in developing countries
Sprinkler: 5% of irrigated land of the world
mostly in developed countries
Trickle: 1% of worlds irrigated land
Even in Israel, where much of the early research and development was done and
water is very scarce, trickle has not flourished as much as might be thought.
