irrigation system agriculture refer to the equipment required to provide water to plants.

The key to optimizing irrigation efforts is uniformity. The land manager has control over how much water to supply and when to apply it, but the irrigation system has the control in providing water uniformly. Determining which irrigation systems is best for your operation requires a knowledge of which system will provide uniform distribution for your land. Available labor, capital outlay, and your desired lifestyle will dictate the system you choose.

Irrigation systems should encourage plant growth while minimizing salt imbalances, leaf burn, soil erosion, and water loss. Losses will occur above and below the plant due to evaporation, wind drift, and run-off across the soil surface and percolation of water below roots.
