Spatial and Temporal Variation of Soil Water Movement Modeling under Line Source Dripper

Water management is a key factor in agricultural production. India shares 17% of global production with 2.4% land and 4.0% of world water resource (Singh et al., 2006).Hence efficient utilization of available water resource is mandatory in India. Around 90% of water resources are used for agriculture and allied activities in India. Out of these only 50% of water is used by plants and remaining is wasted either evaporation or deep percolation. This is because of traditional methods are practiced for irrigation. Widely known best water saving irrigation technique is the drip irrigation system. In this method, irrigation water is directly applied to the plant root zone, which minimizes the evaporation, percolation and other water losses (Suryavanshi et al., 2015).
