Question

Drip irrigation can reduce water consumption by \_\_\_\_\_\ percent.

• A. 10\%
• B. 30\%
• C. 50\%
• D. 70\%

Hint:

Drip irrigation is highly efficient and reduces water consumption by delivering water directly to plant roots, preventing unnecessary water loss.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

1. Drip irrigation method:
Drip irrigation is an efficient water-saving technique where water is delivered directly to the root zone of plants through a system of pipes, tubes, and emitters. This minimizes water wastage due to evaporation or runoff. 2. Water consumption reduction:
Drip irrigation can reduce water consumption by as much as 70\% compared to traditional methods, such as flood irrigation, which often leads to significant water loss.
