Spray Irrigation

Spray irrigation is a form of irrigation in which pressurized water is sprayed over plants to provide them with water. This type of irrigation is also sometimes called sprinkler irrigation, and it is very widely used all over the world. Many people think specifically of spray irrigation when they visualize an irrigation system, and irrigation systems of all sizes can be designed to work in this way, ranging from a home sprinkler to keep a lawn green to industrial sized sprinklers used to irrigate crops.

With a spray irrigation system, the irrigation sprinklers may be fixed in place, or located on movable frames. Some sprinkler heads will only spray in one direction, requiring careful placement, while others will rotate as they spray, delivering water across a broader area. Rotating heads are often preferred because it allows for the installation of a single sprinkler array to cover a big area.

Sources of water for spray irrigation vary. Some cities encourage the utilization of treated wastewater. This is an environmentally friendly choice which reduces the demand for fresh water, nourishes the plants, and reduces wastewater runoff into waterways. Treated wastewater can be used on ornamental crops and landscaping, but it may be banned for use on crops, depending on where in the world one is. Water for crops can come from wells, reservoirs, rivers, lakes, and streams.
