Linear Irrigation Systems
Description
They are used for large, continuous areas. These systems are similar to Center Pivot irrigation systems, but unlike those that rotate around a central point, they move linearly and in a straight path.
Specifications of Linear Irrigation Systems:
- Linear Movement:
- These systems are mounted on rails or wheels and move straight along the length of the field.
- Unlike rotary systems, they are not limited to circular fields and are better suited for rectangular or square-shaped lands.
- Water Source:
- They are usually supplied by a water canal or underground pipes.
- In some models, a flexible hose (like in Hydro-Tow systems) is used to connect to the water source.
