If water consumption is an issue then flood or furrow irrigation is not very efficient. You have to over irrigate the inlet end to get water to the other end of the field. Also the field will need to be level or leveled and relatively free of residue that will slow or change water flow. Sprinklers are a better method of irrigation.
