The artificial watering of croplands. In Egypt's Nile Valley, basin irrigation is an ancient method that involved the use of floodwaters that were trapped in basins on the floodplain and released in stages to augment rainfall. Today's perennial irrigation requires the construction of dams and irrigation canals for year-round water supply. De Blij, H. J., and Perter O.

cleansing by washing and rinsing with water or other fluids.
Supplying water to grass, trees, and other plants.
Human intervention to modify the distribution of water in natural channels, depressions, drainageways or aquifers and to manipulate this water for improving the production of agricultural crops or enhancing the growth of other desirable plants.
The process of applying water to a specific area for agriculture or landscaping. Jump to Top
a system of pipes or canals used to bring water to places where it is needed. J K
Irrigation is adding water to flush an area such as the bowel. This stimulates a bowel movement, similar to an enema.
irr-ig-ay-shun Watering crops by using channels or pipes.
Applying water to crops, lawns or other plants using pumps, pipes, hoses, sprinklers, etc.
Procedure which flushes bowel via insertion of water through stoma into colon. Only suitable for person with sigmoid or descending colostomy. Should only be undertaken after consultation with Physician or ET.
The application of water to crops by artificial means. Purposes for irrigating may include, but are not limited to, supplying evapotranspira-tion needs, leaching of salts, and environmental control.
Applying water or wastewater to land areas to supply the water and nutrient needs of plants.
is an artificial introduction of water into a plant's root zone at some pre-determined rate of application
the controlled application of water to crop land, hay land, and/or pasture to supplement that supplied through nature.
Application of water to the soil surface.
a system used to put water into dry land by using pipes, ditches, or streams.
The use of water to nourish cultivated land or open space to promote the growth of vegetation.
supplying water to agriculture by artificial means, such as pumping water onto crops in an area where rainfall is insufficient labor - the mental and/or physical talents contributed by people for the production of goods or services
The digging of ditches and streams to water land which is naturally dry
to supply the land with water by artificial means
Application of water to lands for agricultural purposes (USEPA, 1993).
Application of water for the production of crops or the maintenance of large (more than 1/2 acre) areas of lawns, gardens, etc. This includes Forest Service pastures and golf courses.
The application of water by artificial means. The goals of irrigation include, but are not limited to, supplying evapotranspiration needs, field preparation, freeze protection, crop cooling, and leaching of salts.
In hydrologic terms, the controlled application of water to arable lands to supply water requirements not satisfied by rainfall
the solution to the problem of arid climates and scant water supplies, a system of watering land and draining to prevent build up of salt in the soil. (p. 8)
the controlled application of water for agricultural purposes through manmade systems to supply water requirements not satisfied by rainfall.
A technique used to collect and distribute water in the drylands by various methods.
The manner in which water is artificially applied to an area.
Exterior sprinkler system for the yard.
Generally, the controlled application of water to arable lands to supply water requirements of crops not satisfied by rainfall. (See also Irrigation water use.) Systems used include the following
The application of water to crops, lawns, and gardens by artificial means to supplement natural precipitation. Water can be applied by spreading, sprinkling, or dripping.
Became from two Latin words 'in' and 'rigare' which means 'to water'. In other terms irrigation is the artificial watering of the land for the purpose of growing crops.
the application of water to an area using a hose, sprinkler or other method
The application of water to a grassed area. Small areas can be irrigated by using a hose pipe and attachment. Larger areas, especially high quality sports turf ones, will have fixed automatic pop-up sprinklers.
applying water or nutrient solution to the root zone
The artificial application of water to land to promote the growth of crops. First practiced in arid lands to supplement deficient rainfall, it is now used extensively in more humid areas to ensure proper timing of water supply for maximum crop yield. The earliest form of irrigation consisted of diverting flood flows of streams onto the cropland. More common practice today is the storage of floodwaters in reservoirs from which the water may be withdrawn for use as needed. Extensive irrigation projects have been developed that use groundwater pumped from wells.
Washing of a body cavity or wound with a stream of water.
a method used in agriculture to bring water to plants. Can involve simple structures, e.g., ditches from local surface water, to very complex engineering schemes.
Manner in which water is artificially applied to crop land. e.g Sprinkler irrigation _ water is sprayed over the soil surface using a pressurized system.
Irrigation is the replacement or supplementation of rainfall with water from another source in order to grow crops or plants. In contrast, agriculture that relies only on direct rainfall is sometimes referred to as dryland farming.
