For saving both paani and paisa on your one-acre plot, drip irrigation is the clear winner—uses much less water, and after government subsidy, the cost is manageable with payback in two or three seasons. But beta, the obvious answer is not always the right one for a small farmer like me. I see the new drip systems lying unused in fields because the filters clog and the maintenance kharcha feels too heavy for old shoulders. My life says the humble sprinkler, though it uses more water, is the real saviour for its simple repair; I can fix a broken head with my eyes closed, just like I fix a radio, and that reliability saves money every day.
