- Conveyance Systems: that transport and pump water from field ditches
- Distribution System: assures the transport of water through field ditches to the irrigated fields.
- Application: assures the transport of water within the fields.
- Drainage: removes excess water either from rainfall or irrigation
Besides crop production, irrigation supply is necessary in preventing soil consolidation, weed growth suppression in grain fields, and frost protection. Agriculture which relies on rainfall conversely is known as dry land farming or rain fed.
