    Water is supplied for irrigation from both surface and groundwater. The right to use water for irrigation varies among states and countries, and irrigators should check on which laws apply in their area. Groundwater is extracted by wells that vary from a few feet to thousands of feet. The complexity of the well design depends upon its depth. Surface waters are conveyed to fields by a series of open canals or buried pipelines. Reclaimed water will become a larger source of irrigation water in the future as the demand for fresh water increases.
