How are crops and planting in large areas provided with water?

A plant cannot grow without water. It is good when there is a sufficient amount of precipitation, and if it is an arid region, then artificial methods for moistening the soil and watering cannot be dispensed with. Irrigation of fields has appeared since ancient times and made it possible to grow plants over a large area. There are the following irrigation methods: sprinkling – plants are watered from above from special devices with water; underground irrigation – an underground water supply system has been installed, which provides irrigation; drip and surface irrigation – dosed automatic water supply from pipes located along the ground.
