  2. Hydraulic redistribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_redistribution

    Hydraulic redistribution is a passive mechanism where water is transported from moist to dry soils via subterranean networks. [1] It occurs in vascular plants that commonly have roots in both wet and dry soils, especially plants with both taproots that grow vertically down to the water table, and lateral roots that sit close to the surface.

  3. Hydraulic lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_lift

    Hydraulic lift may refer to: A type of hydraulic machinery. Hydraulic elevator; A form of hydraulic redistribution, a plant phenomenon

  4. Lift irrigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_irrigation

    Lift irrigation schemes must accomplish two main tasks: first, to carry water by means of pumps or other way, from the water source to the main delivery chamber, which is situated at the top most point in the command area. Second. they must distribute this water to the field of the beneficiary farmers by means of a suitable and proper distribution.

  5. Hydraulic signaling in plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_signaling_in_plants

    Hydraulic signaling is fast and effective because of the cohesion and tension properties of water. [1] Hydraulic signals can be propagated downward or upward, relaying water potential gradients throughout the entire plant. Hydraulic signals can be sensed in a few ways all relating to how an increase in water potential affects the plants.

  6. Center-pivot irrigation - Wikipedia

    A satellite image of circular fields characteristic of center pivot irrigation, Kansas Farmland with circular pivot irrigation. Center-pivot irrigation (sometimes called central pivot irrigation), also called water-wheel and circle irrigation, is a method of crop irrigation in which equipment rotates around a pivot and crops are watered with sprinklers.

  7. Heavy equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_equipment

    The word plant, in this context, has come to mean any type of industrial equipment, including mobile equipment (e.g. in the same sense as powerplant). However, plant originally meant "structure" or "establishment" – usually in the sense of factory or warehouse premises; as such, it was used in contradistinction to movable machinery, often in ...

  8. Lift table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_table

    The most common lift table design incorporates hydraulic cylinders and an electrically powered pump to actuate the scissor lifting mechanism. Lift tables can also be driven by pneumatic sources, trapezoidal-threaded screw drives, push chains or by hydraulic foot pump when the load is not heavy. The choice of drive mechanism depends on factors ...

  9. Stoplogs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoplogs

    Stoplogs of a hydro power plant which can close the water flow to the turbine. Stoplogs are modular in nature, giving the operator of a gated structure the ability to control the water level in a channel by adding or removing individual stoplogs. A gate may make use of one or more logs.
