ABSTRACT

Water is a basic need of any life. The “liquid gold” (water) is becoming scarce due to the demands from various quarters such as agriculture, industries and households. Advances in the field of irrigation management have led to the many water saving techniques such as furrow irrigation, drip and sprinkler irrigations. No doubt, these methods are useful for. saving water, but all the farmers are not adopting because of their higher cost in the initial stage. Surge irrigation is another technology which uses less labour and costs besides saving water. It indirectly increases the net income of the farmers. Therefore, through this review an attempt has been made to compile the research on surs-e irrigation for advancing the surge science.
