Sprinkler irrigation: Is a versatile method

Sprinkler irrigation is a versatile method of applying water that simulates the effects of rainfall. Pumping is used to distribute water through a network of pipes. Sprinklers provide efficient coverage from small to large areas and can be used on any terrain. It is also adaptable to nearly all irrigable soils because sprinklers come in a variety of discharge capacities. An irrigation sprinkler (also known as a water sprinkler or simply a sprinkler ) is a device used to irrigate (water ... What is a Sprinkler Irrigation System? A Complete Guide for Modern Farming. In today’s agriculture, efficient water management is crucial for maximizing productivity and conserving resources. One of the most effective solutions farmers rely on is the sprinkler irrigation system. Sprinkler irrigation is a method of applying irrigation water which is similar to natural rainfall. Water is distributed through a system of pipes usually by pumping. It is then sprayed into the air through sprinklers so that it breaks up into small water drops which fall to the ground. The pump supply system, sprinklers and operating conditions must be designed to enable a uniform application of water. 5.1.1 Suitable crops Sprinkler irrigation is suited for most row, field and tree crops ... Sprinkler irrigation is defined as a method of applying water by spraying it into the air to fall on the ground surface, mimicking rainfall. This technique is particularly suitable for water-scarce areas and uneven terrains where other irrigation methods are impractical.
