2. Drip irrigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drip_irrigation

   Drip irrigation. Drip irrigation or trickle irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone and minimize evaporation.

3. Irrigation sprinkler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation_sprinkler

   An irrigation sprinkler (also known as a water sprinkler or simply a sprinkler) is a device used to irrigate (water) 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 ...

4. Irrigation controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation_controller

   Irrigation controller. An irrigation controller is a device to operate automatic irrigation systems such as lawn sprinklers and drip irrigation systems. Most controllers have a means of setting the frequency of irrigation, the start time, and the duration of watering. Some controllers have additional features such as multiple programs to allow ...

5. Pulse drip irrigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_drip_irrigation

   Pulse drip irrigation is an experimental irrigation technique primarily used with drip irrigation. Maintaining a high level of soil moisture for germination of seed is one reason this technique may be used. Most conventional drip irrigation systems can be made to pulse by using a timer to reduce the watering duration and increase the watering ...

6. Sprinkler system timer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprinkler_system_timer

   A sprinkler system timer is an electrical device that is used to set an irrigation sprinkler system to come on automatically at a certain time. Irrigation timers first appeared in the early 1960s to control large-radius lawn sprinklers, which at the time usually contained their own electrically operated valve (most golf-course sprinklers still use this type of actuation).

7. Water timer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_timer

   A water timer is an electromechanical device that, when placed on a water line, increases or decreases the water flow through the use of an electro-mechanically actuated ball valve or embedded (solenoid) valve. It is used in conjunction with irrigation sprinklers to form an automated or non-automated sprinkler system, capable of administering ...
