It is my pleasure to say that this book ‘Drip & Sprinkler Irrigation’ has been found useful to the students, professionals and many other users. Some sort of  errors  was  identified  in  its  first  edition.  Necessary cares  have  been  taken to omit these errors. I may hope that this book will serve the purpose of the users for understanding the design, implementation and maintenance of micro irrigation projects.
