Concept of irrigation and drainage

Irrigation and drainage are the twin pillars of modern agriculture, ensuring that crops receive the right amount of water while excess moisture is efficiently removed. Mastering the concepts of water balance, irrigation methods, and drainage design is essential for the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams because they directly influence crop yield, soil health, and farm profitability.
