An efficient irrigation system is designed to deliver the appropriate volume of water evenly, to meet all plant needs and in the time available. The irrigation system should apply water evenly across the cropping area, apply the correct volume of water often enough to meet plant demands and apply the required water in the time available.

Upgrading an existing sprinkler layout or installing a new one to best management practice is one way of improving the water use efficiency of an irrigation system while improving crop growth and profitability.
