- K Satya Gopal, currently serving as Commissioner for Revenue Administration (CRA), Tamil Nadu has innovated the ‘water conserving root zone irrigation technique’.
- It is a low-cost technology to improve water retention and moisture at deeper layers, resulting in enhancement of growth of plants/trees.
- water conserving root zone irrigation technique can be linked with drip irrigation
- The new method ensures that water is taken up to two feet depth unlike in conventional method and drip irrigation with surface drips, and the requirement of water is also much less.
- While in surface drip system evaporation losses are common and root zone may not get moisture at lower levels, the root zone irrigation system ensures water percolating into deeper layers through the sand columns and availability of moisture in the root zone.
