Lecture # 2
Irrigation
Lecture # 2

IRRIGATION
“ The artificial application of water to the root zone
of the crop at right time and in required quantity for
the optimum growth of agricultural crops so as to get
more crops per unit of water used”.
Or

“ An art of application of water to the crop ,

throughout the crop period according to crop
requirement for full nourishment of plants
 Sources of Moisture for Plant
Growth :
There are three resources of moisture,
1.Rainfall 2.Surface Water 3.Ground Water
Irrigation
Lecture # 2

World’s Water Resources

Total Water on Earth 1.36x108 M ha m

Ocean salt water 97.2%

Fresh Water 2.8%

Surface water 2.2%

Glaciers & Ice ___ 2.15%
Lakes & Streams.. 0.01%
Other forms .. 0.04%

Ground water 0.6%

Renewable G.W.. 0.25%
Total Available Freshwater 0.3%
Irrigation
Lecture # 2

Basic facts about surface water

 Total water available in planet earth is constant

 The fresh water available on earth is less than 1%

away from poles
 The major source of water supply to surface water
remains to be rain fall
 Rain fall is not evenly distributed in quantity, space
and time
Irrigation
Lecture # 2

Basic facts about ground water

 Ground water occurs below the surface of earth

 Ground water is not evenly distributed in quantity,

space and time
 Power operated water lifting devices are required to
bring ground water to surface
 It is impossible to provide power to irrigate entire
cultivable area with ground water
Irrigation
Lecture # 2

Water Resources
Rainfall(mean)
in Pakistan
( occurs directly on the crops)
Lower Indus Region = less than 4 inches
Northern foot hills = more than 30 inches
Used as direct irrigation = 1 - 17 inches(6 MAF)/annum

Surface Water ( from rivers and storage reservoirs)

Total mean river discharge = 142 MAF/annum
Discharged to Sea = 42 MAF/annum
Required discharge = 202 MAF/annum

Ground Water ( from aquifers i.e. wells, tube wells)

Surface water lost in infiltration forms ground water aquifers/
reservoirs
Irrigation
Lecture # 2

Indus Basin Treaty/Water accord

Dispute b/w India & Pakistan over sharing of Indus valley river
flows( resolved in 1960 by World Bank)

India was given exclusive use of three Eastern Rivers ( Ravi,

Beas & Sutlej)

Western Rivers ( Chenab, Jhelum & Indus ) were left to

Pakistan.

Network of 2 storage dams, 8 inter-river link canal & 6

barrages were constructed in Pakistan under the Treaty to
transfer the water to Eastern rivers.
Irrigation
Lecture # 2

Water Budget of Pakistan

Water Budget: It reflects the relationship between
input and output of water through a region.

 It is an accounting of the inflow, outflow and storage

of water in a designated hydrologic system.

Water Budget of Pakistan: (Already studded in Hydrology

and Water Management course) Home Assignment

Irrigation
Lecture # 2

Phases of Irrigation Engineering :

There are four stages of Irrigation Engineering,

1.Storage (Dams, Reservoirs) or Diversion (Barrages)

2.Conveyance of irrigation water (Canals)

3.Distribution (water courses ) and Application

4.Drainage of excessive water through drains

Irrigation
Lecture # 2

Components of the Irrigation System

The main components of an irrigation system are listed
below,
1. Dam /Diversion Head Work(Barrage)
2. Canal Head regulator
3. Main canal
4. Branch Canal
5. Distributory canal
6. Minor canal
7. Water course (W.C)

Irrigation
Lecture # 2

Problems in irrigation
Competition for surface water rights.

Depletion of underground aquifers.

Buildup of toxic salts on soil surface in areas of high

evaporation.

Over irrigation because of poor distribution, uniformity

or management of wastes water, chemicals, and it may
lead to water pollution.

ROLE OF IRRIGATION IN COUNTRY

DEVELOPMENT
 Contribution of irrigation to agricultural productivity.

 Helps in welfare improvements like employment

opportunities.

 A prospect of trade like Export of various crops to

other countries.

 Reduces health and poverty lessening issues.
