What is the difference?
- 1Scope: Irrigation refers to the large-scale distribution of water for agricultural purposes, while watering is typically done on a smaller scale for gardens or lawns.
- 2Method: Irrigation involves a system of channels, pipes, or ditches to distribute water, while watering is often done manually with a hose or watering can.
- 3Purpose: Irrigation is primarily done to provide water to crops for growth and yield, while watering is done to keep plants healthy and hydrated.
- 4Efficiency: Irrigation is often more efficient than watering because it can deliver water directly to the roots of plants, reducing water waste.

Remember this!
Irrigation and watering are both methods of providing water to plants or crops. However, irrigation is typically used on a larger scale for agricultural purposes and involves a system of channels, pipes, or ditches to distribute water. Watering, on the other hand, is often done manually with a hose or watering can and is used on a smaller scale for gardens or lawns to keep plants healthy and hydrated.
