Applications of Irrigation Engineering :
§ Development of water resources at the
right places.
§ Determining the capacity of reservoir.
§ It ensures water supply for crops during
periods of less rainfall or during summer when water is not available in abundance.
§ Construction and maintenance of dams,
canals and regulatory works for supply of water whenever it is needed either to
fields or to the public.
§ Crop rotation can be done effectively.
§ From the knowledge of irrigation engineering,
design and construction of different types of dams can be done.
§ Development of new techniques such as
sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation.
§ It helps to study the flood control devices.
§ It helps to study the design of different
structures such as spillways, weirs and canals.
