What is Sprinkler irrigation?
Sprinkler irrigation:
Sprinkler irrigation replicates the effects of natural precipitation by uniformly dispersing water throughout the agricultural area as needed. The application rate is kept lower than the rate at which soil is absorbed in order to prevent surface runoff. Sprinklers cover the whole surface by pumping water through a network of pipes and ejecting tiny water droplets into the air.The optimal conditions for this kind of irrigation are varied topography, scummy water supplies, sandy or shallow soils, or situations where consistent water distribution is essential. Unlike surface watering methods, sprinkler systems do not require leveling the land. However, they are not suitable for soils that are prone to crusting.
