Real Life Experiences

Here's a Real Life Situation: 
It is the dry season and mixed crop farmer Halak is in crisis again. Over the years Halak has experienced the following:
  • mini droughts because his pond dries up early in the season
  • farmer Edgar damming the river upstream
  • the water truck coming 5 sometimes 8 days late, long after he paid them to fill his tanks
  • no response from the fire services emergency response unit.
This dry season shaping up to be his driest ever. He owns 30 acres of mainly flat land and very gentle slopes which he plants in 5 acre plots. He has access to water via a pond in the north, a river, running east to west, dividing the 30 acres into a larger 3/4 block and a smaller 1/4 block and now in 2015 WASA finally pass and put water on the main road just off the southern entrance of his property. Halak wants to design an irrigation system for him to ensure that his 30 acres are watered this dry season. He decides togoogle options and comes across information from you in the form of a video, blog or powtoon. Given his situation, you are required to design a video, blog or powtoon to educatHalak about the options available to him along with the advantages and disadvantages of each irrigation system available.
QUESTION:
What will you recommend? 
Would one irrigation system solve his problem?
