Abstract
The paper focuses on the critical role of water in agriculture, highlighting that over 70% of India's population depends on this sector, which itself consumes more than 80% of the available water. Traditional irrigation methods suffer from inefficiencies like water wastage and clogging issues. Therefore, modern techniques such as drip irrigation and sprinkler systems are crucial for optimizing both surface and groundwater resources. The paper outlines the steps taken to effectively implement drip irrigation systems in fields, emphasizing strategies used to mobilize farmers. It also addresses the challenges encountered in transitioning farmers from conventional furrow irrigation to drip systems .For that Data collected from 100 randomly selected farmers those exclusively growing coconut using pretested interview schedule. Percentage analysis, Garrett ranking and Chi Square analysis were used to analyze the data. System usability is seen positively, and adaptability to local conditions is generally favorable but with some reservations.
