Center pivot irrigation is a method of crop irrigation where equipment rotates around a fixed pivot point, watering a circular area.

It’s often called “circle irrigation” or “water-wheel irrigation.”

How it works:

• A long pipeline, equipped with sprinklers, is attached to a central pivot point.
• The pipeline rotates around this point, covering a circular area.
• Water is pumped through the pipeline to the sprinklers.

Advantages of Center Pivot Irrigation:

• Efficiency: Water is applied directly to the crops, minimizing evaporation and runoff.
• Automation: Modern systems are highly automated, reducing labor costs.

• Versatility: Suitable for various crops and terrains.

• Even application: Provides uniform water distribution across the field.
