Centre Pivot Irrigation

A centre pivot irrigation system is self-propelled and works with the use of a central pipe with outlets rotating around a central pivot point. It works like the sprinkler irrigation system, but it is much bigger and is supported by steel or aluminium towers. 

Advantages include:

• Water is distributed evenly
• Covers large areas in a short period of time
• Prevents water runoff
• Operates at a lower pressure saving energy
