Irrigation
Across
- 2. occurs when too much water is left to sit in the soil, which raises the water table of the groundwater and inhibits plants' ability to absorb oxygen through their roots
- 3. the upper surface of the zone of saturation
- 5. water that exists underground in saturated zones beneath the land surface.
- 7. It is a system of long hoses with sprinklers along the length or a center pivot system
- 8. occurs when the salts in groundwater remain in the soil after the water evaporates, becoming highly concentrated on the soil surface
- 9. involves cutting trenches between crop rows and filling them with water which seeps into the ground and provides moisture for plant roots
- 10. a body of rock and/or sediment that holds groundwater.
Down
- 1. involves flooding an agricultural field with water and letting the water soak in evenly.
- 4. shallow water table aquifer surrounded by sand, silt, clay, and gravel located beneath the Great Plains in the United States.
- 6. Where one places tubing on the ground alongside the plants, that drips water into the soil near the roots.
