Answer 1

Answer 2

For a sandy soil farmer should use drip irrigation method over surface irrigation.

Sandy soils have a low water storage capacity and a high infiltration rate.  Therefore they need frequent but small irrigation methods, drip irrigation is most suitable method than surface irrigation.

In other irrigation methods such as Surface irrigation, Flood irrigation, Furrow irrigation water is discharged in quite large amounts but the soil lost it due to the high infiltration rate.

Therefore, for a sandy soil farmer should use drip irrigation method over surface irrigation.
