A great advantage of Basin irrigation is that

  1. it makes it possible to irrigate larger areas
  2. the basin helps to trap much alluvium to enrich the soil
  3. it is an expensive means of irrigation
  4. water is not wasted ✓
Explanation

Basin irrigation collects water in a contained area where it soaks into the soil. Very little water is lost to runoff.

The walls of the basin keep water from flowing away. Plants absorb most of the water that enters.

This method is efficient in dry areas where water is precious.
