In most areas of the world, irrigation delivers the water needed for production agriculture. As farmers and growers focus on improving productivity with limited resources, modern sprinkler and microirrigation systems help them increase crop yields without expanding acreage and apply nutrients precisely for better results with little to no waste. Irrigation also helps minimize runoff and top soil erosion, reduce groundwater pollution and control costs for water, energy and chemicals.
