Irrigation refers to watering the plants in landscape. From lush vegetable gardens to sprawling lawns, your landscape needs proper watering. Understanding the differences between sprinkler heads and drip irrigation—two common residential watering solutions—will determine which one is best for your needs.
As an open space with lots of visitors coming in every day, Flower Garden was one of my favorite projects to work on. It not only manifests my architectural inspirations and beliefs, but it’s the perfect combination between design and practicality. If you’re ever in the area, I invite you to stop by and take a look yourself.
Sprinkler Heads vs. Drip Irrigation:
Specific Functions of Each System
If you need to saturate a broad area, choose a sprinkler irrigation system. Water lines buried underground use a pumping mechanism and deliver large volumes of water through sprinkler heads to expansive, flat areas.
Drip irrigation systems don’t have the same reach. Instead, plastic pipes installed close to the soil slowly deliver two to 20 liters of water per hour to specific plants. If you need to water plants in small areas on a regular schedule, opt for the drip irrigation approach.
Advantages & Drawbacks
Watering an expansive lawn using a garden hose is a time-consuming process. Sprinkler head irrigation systems evenly distribute water to large areas, cutting the watering time in half. The system requires a lot of water, so there’s a high percentage of evaporation and water runoff. Be careful not to oversaturate plants, as this leads to fungi growth. To avoid this, water plants at a time when the sun’s rays evaporate excess moisture.
Using a drip irrigation system is an effective way to keep gardens and other plants in confined areas hydrated. The equipment wets the root area, so you may need to use a garden hose or water pail to saturate plant leaves and stems. Dripping valves are often installed aboveground, so they are visible.

Irrigation v/s Rain-Fed Agriculture
There are two main ways that farmers and ranchers use agricultural water to cultivate crops:
Rain - fed farming Irrigation
Rain-fed farming is the natural application of water to the soil through direct rainfall. Relying on rainfall is less likely to result in contamination of food products but is open to water shortages when rainfall is reduced. On the other hand, artificial applications of water increase the risk of contamination.
Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the soil through various systems of tubes, pumps, and sprays. Irrigation is usually used in areas where rainfall is irregular or dry times or drought is expected. There are many types of irrigation systems, in which water is supplied to the entire field uniformly. Irrigation water can come from groundwater, through springs or wells, surface water, through rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, or even other sources, such as treated wastewater or desalinated water. As a result, it is critical that farmers protect their agricultural water source to minimize the potential for contamination. As with any groundwater removal, users of irrigation water need to be careful in not pumping groundwater out of an aquifer faster than it is being recharged.
Types of Irrigation Systems
There are many different types of irrigation systems, depending on how the water is distributed throughout the field. Some common types of irrigation systems include:
Surface irrigation
Water is distributed over and across land by gravity, no mechanical pump involved.
Localized irrigation
Water is distributed under low pressure, through a piped network and applied to each plant.
Drip irrigation
A type of localized irrigation in which drops of water are delivered at or near the root of plants. In this type of irrigation, evaporation and runoff are minimized.
Sprinkler irrigation
Water is distributed by overhead high-pressure sprinklers or guns from a central location in the field or from sprinklers on moving platforms.
Center pivot irrigation
Water is distributed by a system of sprinklers that move on wheeled towers in a circular pattern. This system is common in flat areas of the United States.
Lateral move irrigation
Water is distributed through a series of pipes, each with a wheel and a set of sprinklers, which are rotated either by hand or with a purpose-built mechanism. The sprinklers move a certain distance across the field and then need to have the water hose reconnected for the next distance. This system tends to be less expensive but requires more labor than others.
Sub-irrigation
Water is distributed across land by raising the water table, through a system of pumping stations, canals, gates, and ditches. This type of irrigation is most effective in areas with high water tables.
Manual irrigation
Water is distributed across land through manual labor and watering cans. This system is very labor intensive.

Landscape Play / Zones / Arenas
Plyzone refers to the landscape which has some sports/rectionals/gathering/adventure associated with it and play arenas are where major sporting events take place. Landscape pertaining to the ply activity is referred as Plyzones landscapes.
Smart or Automated Irrigation
An automated irrigation system was developed to optimize water use for agricultural crops. This system has wireless network of soil moisture and temperature sensors placed in the root zone of the plants is so designed to develop an automatic irrigation system that switches (ON/OFF) a pump motor by sensing the moisture content of the soil using wireless technology.
SoA Irrigation
Through GSM Modem, the sensed moisture content data will be sent as an SMS to the user. This system may uses 8051 series microcontroller, which is programmed to receive the input signal of varying moistures of the soil through sensors.
SoA I
This is achieved by using an op-amp as comparator which acts as interface between the sensing device and the microcontroller. Once the controller receives the signal, it generates an output that drives a relay for operating the water pump.
SoA I
It also sends an SMS to the concerned number using GSM modem. An LCD display is also interfaced to the microcontroller to display the status of the soil and water pump ON/Off condition.
SoA I
The sensing arrangement is made using two stiff metallic rods inserted to the agricultural field required to be in control. Connections from the metallic rods are interfaced to the control unit.
SoA I
This concept can also be enhanced by integrating XBEE/Bluetooth technology, such that whenever the water pump switches ON/OFF, the information is sent to a smart mobile phone or XBEE transceiver module regarding the status of the pump.
