(4725) Lateral-move irrigation machine sprinkler method
A sprinkler method consisting of a nozzle-line fitted with rotating sprinklers or fixed diffusers, and divided into sections by self-propelled towers, each with an electric motor. This moves by translation in a direction perpendicular to its axis. It therefore irrigates a rectangular field. It is supplied with water either by directly pumping from a ditch parallel to its movement or by successively connecting a flexible pipe to outlets on a ressurized pipeline.
