Which of the following terms is not associated with surface irrigation?
Answer Details
The term that is not associated with surface irrigation is "tile". Tile drainage is a type of subsurface drainage system used to remove excess water from the soil. The other three terms, basin, dyke, and furrow, are all related to surface irrigation.
- Basin irrigation is a method where water is applied to a level or gently sloping field and allowed to pond, providing water to crops from the bottom up.
- Dyke irrigation involves constructing small earthen embankments to create small basins in which crops are grown.
- Furrow irrigation is a method where water is applied in small channels, or furrows, between crop rows to provide water to crops.
