Q538
The sprinkler system of irrigation is most suitable for
A.
Clay soils
B.
Undulated soils
C.
Saline soils
AnswerD.
Acidic soils
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Sprinkler irrigation is a method that mimics natural rainfall by spraying water through a system of pipes and sprinklers. Undulated soils, or uneven terrains, pose challenges for traditional irrigation methods like surface irrigation due to irregular slopes and water flow issues.
Sprinkler systems are ideal for such conditions because they do not rely on gravity or level surfaces to distribute water evenly.
They allow for controlled water application and uniform coverage, making them highly suitable for undulated areas.
In contrast, clay soils have slow infiltration rates, saline soils need careful water management to avoid salt accumulation, and acidic soils are more about pH management than irrigation method.
