Irrigated, lateral move irrigation
Irrigation, where water is distributed through a series of pipes, each with a wheel and a set of sprinklers, which are rotated either by hand or with a purpose-built mechanism. The sprinklers move a certain distance across the field and then need to have the water hose reconnected for the next distance. The area irrigated can be specified as a percentage.
