Description

Definition
Irrigation refers to purposively providing land with water, other than rain, for improving crop production. Natural flooding of land by rainfall or overflow of rivers is not considered as irrigation. Rainwater or uncontrolled flooding, which is collected and later used on the holding, is considered irrigation.
