This is the process of irrigation

• Drip Irrigation: In drip irrigation water is sent through plastic pipes with holes in them.  Then water slowly drips onto the crop’s roots and stems. Advantages are it is more efficient, loses less water to evaporation, and can irrigate sloping, irregularly-shaped land areas that can't be flood irrigated. It is also a positive way to water fields because it increases the amount of grain and veggies you get from the crops, and less people have to work on the fields. This is the most efficient irrigation method of the three.

Household: Household: It is estimated that 15% of worldwide water use is for household purposes. These include drinking water, bathing, cooking, sanitation, and gardening.

Environmental: Environmental: Explicit environmental water use is also a very small but growing percentage of total water use.

Recreational Recreational water: water: use is usually a very small but growing percentage of total water use. Recreational water use is mostly tied to reservoirs.
