With lateral move irrigation systems that use ditch feeds as a water source, there are two ways to build the ditch – with cement bricks or geo membranes.
In a lateral move center, water is piped from the ditch to the sprinkler. Because ditches provide a large quantity of water more of your field at one time. If the irrigation system is designed with two wings, the span can be longer than 800m, and if the machine is made to move 2,000m, the total irrigation area could be up to 160ha.
