The present study was carried out to determine the quantity of water applied and saved using different irrigation methods. Four irrigation methods i.e. border. furrow. raingun sprinkler and trickle irrigation were compared based on their application efficiency. magnitude of water saved and crop yield. It was found that water saved nnder furrow. raingun sprinkler and trickle irrigation respectively was 14.26 and 34% compared with border irrigation method. Similarly. the crop yield under raingun sprinkler and trickle irrigation methods was found to be 31 and 12% higher than that with border irrigation method. This shows that the trickle irrigation method is a more suitable technique of water application if employed in areas having scarce water resources and undulating topography. Key words: crop yield potential. modern irrigation methods. water saving
