Pressurized Irrigation Systems (Drip & Sprinkler): Water is conveyed through closed pipelines under pump pressure directly to the crop root zone.
Application Efficiency: Reaches 75% to 85% in sprinkler systems and 90% to 95% in drip systems, compared to only 30% to 45% in conventional gravity-fed surface methods (furrow, basin, flooding) plagued by deep percolation and conveyance losses.
Capital Cost: Pressurized systems require significantly higher (not lower) initial investment. (Correct answer: Option 3)
