center pivot irrigation

Center pivot irrigation is a method where a long, rotating pipe with sprinklers is mounted on wheeled towers, forming a circular pattern over a field. The system pivots around a central point, evenly distributing water to crops as it slowly rotates. It is efficient for large-scale farming, using automated controls to regulate water application and reduce waste. This setup allows farmers to irrigate extensive areas uniformly, improving crop yields and conserving water compared to traditional methods.
