Agricultural irrigation is the practice of supplying water to farmland through artificial means, such as canals and other water delivery systems, to help crops grow. It matters because it allows farmers to grow food reliably in areas where natural rainfall alone may be insufficient or unpredictable.

灌溉就是人為方式使用天然降水(雨水)以外的其他水源供給土地或土壤水份,多半是用来种植农作物或其他植物,也可以用來維持地貌景觀,或在乾燥地帶或是在過度降雨後的地區進行,灌溉對農作物也有其他的好處,包括保護植物免於霜害、在糧食區抑制雜草成長,並且抑制土壤固結。不用灌溉而以雨水为唯一水源的农业称为旱田。 灌溉系統也會用來抑制灰塵、排放污水以及礦物的。灌溉系統常會和排水系統一起研究,後者是用天然或人工的方式除去某一區域地表或是地表以下的水份。 灌溉是五千多年來農業的中心特徵,也是許多文化的成果,是許多國家經濟及社會的基礎。
