Flood Irrigation

Pedro Garcia moves siphon tubes to flood irrigate a field of Alfalfa near Discovery Bay, in the San Joaquin Delta, on April 29, 2009. Flood irrigation is the least efficient method of irrigating, in terms of both water consumption and crop yield, and is rapidly being replaced by drip irrigation and micro-sprinklers by the largest growers. April 29, 2009.
