Орошение (ирригация) — подвод воды на поля, испытывающие недостаток влаги, и увеличение её запасов в корнеобитаемом слое почвы в целях увеличения плодородия почвы. Орошение является одним из видов мелиорации. Орошение улучшает снабжение корней растений влагой и питательными веществами, снижает температуру приземного слоя воздуха и увеличивает его влажность.

К основным способам орошения относится:

§ полив по бороздам водой, подаваемой насосом или из оросительного канала;

§ разбрызгиванием воды из специально проложенных труб;

§ аэрозольное орошение — орошение мельчайшими каплями воды для регулирования температуры и влажности приземного слоя атмосферы;

§ подпочвенное (внутрипочвенное) орошение — орошение земель путем подачи воды непосредственно в корнеобитаемую зону;

§ лиманное орошение — глубокое одноразовое весеннее увлажнение почвы водами местного стока;

§ дождевание — орошение с использование самоходных систем.
