Irrigation Systems Assessment Rubric
Quick reference: three irrigation systems
One system sends water through small tubes to outlets near plant roots. It can reduce water lost to evaporation, but filters and tubing need maintenance. A centre-pivot system rotates a long sprinkler arm around a central point, watering a circular area. A travelling irrigator moves across a field and sprays water; wind can blow some of its spray away from the target. Flood irrigation lets water flow over a field, but it needs suitable land and careful management to avoid waterlogging or runoff. Irrigation can support food production, but taking too much water from rivers or lakes can harm freshwater habitats.
