AnswerClick to flip back
A
flood
💡 Explanation:
Flood irrigation is the least efficient method, losing significant water to evaporation and runoff. This excess water can cause soil salinization as dissolved salts accumulate when water evaporates from the soil surface. Drip and trickle irrigation are far more efficient, and center pivot is intermediate in efficiency.
