OBS

L'eau déversée à la partie supérieure du terrain par les bouches d'irrigation ou pertuis ruisselle sur toute la surface de la planche qu'elle humecte au fur et à mesure de sa progression. Entre les diguettes, le terrain doit être parfaitement nivelé; la pente longitudinale et l'écartement des diguettes sont fixés une fois pour toutes, ce qui oblige à utiliser toujours le même module. À la sortie des pertuis il faut une partie plate pour que l'eau s'étale.
