Irrigation System

By Thobelani on 2024-09-11

My role in the farm, assisting with the installation and maintenance of irrigation system, monitoring irrigation equipment and performing necessary repairs. Also include analyzing soil moisture to optimize watering schedules.

Center-pivot irrigation also called water-wheel and circle irrigation, is a method of crop irrigation in which equipment rotates around a pivot and crops are watered with sprinklers.A circular area centered on the pivot is irrigated, often creating a circular pattern in crops when viewed from above (sometimes referred to as crop circles, not to be confused with those formed by circular flattening of a section of a crop in a field).Most center pivots were initially water-powered.

Centre pivot irrigation systems distribute optimal volumes of water or nutritional solutions across widespread areas of land.
