• Sprinkler irrigation

• Drip irrigation

2 Cleaning sludge or sediment from small bodies of water: Pumps are especially used to remove all the dirt
or sludge from the pond. This type of pump is used with small sources of water.
3 Dewatering of crops: Dewatering of crops typically refers to the process of removing excess water from
fields or crops to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root suffocation and crop damage. This can be
achieved using various methods, including surface drainage systems such as ditches and furrows, as well
as subsurface drainage systems like tile drains or French drains. Additionally, pumps may be used to remove
excess water from low-lying areas or during periods of heavy rainfall to help maintain optimal soil moisture
levels for crop growth
4 Flood control: Pumps can quickly remove excess water from fields after heavy rains or flooding, preventing
waterlogging and damage to crops.
5 Soil health: Proper drainage prevents waterlogging, which creates unfavorable conditions for plant growth
and promotes diseases.
