S2E21 The Flood Irrigation Menace

Flood irrigation is one of the oldest and most common ways of watering agricultural fields—but is flooding an entire field really the best way to give plants the water they need?
In this episode of Permaculture Living with MLG, I explore what actually happens to water after it enters a field: infiltration, runoff, evaporation, deep percolation and groundwater recharge. I also discuss waterlogging, salinity and soil erosion, and why healthy soil may be our most important water-storage system.
Rather than simply asking how much water we give our crops, perhaps we should ask: how long can our soil hold on to it?
