An irrigation sprinkler is a device used to irrigate agricultural crops, lawns, landscapes, golf courses, and other
areas. They are also used for cooling and for the control of airborne dust. [citation needed] Sprinkler irrigation is
the method of applying water in a controlled manner in way similar to rainfall.
The water is distributed through a
network that may consist of pumps, valves, pipes, and sprinklers.
Irrigation sprinklers can be used for residential, industrial, and agricultural
usage.
It is useful on uneven land where sufficient water is not available as well as
on sandy soil.
The perpendicular pipes, having rotating nozzles on top,
are joined to the main pipeline at regular intervals of time.
When water is
allowed to flow through the main pipe under pressure with the help of
pump it, escapes from the rotating nozzles. It gets sprinkled on the crop.
In sprinkler or overhead irrigation, water is piped to one more central
locations within the field and distributed by overhead high pressure
sprinklers or guns.
