Artificial moisture or irrigation.... Manual or automatic underground sprinkler systems. These systems will vary as to GPM [gallon per minute] requirements, depending on the number of sprinkler heads in simultaneous operation. Minimal supply volume and pressure, for example, would be about 40 GPM at 50 psi [pound per square inch] to operate four sprinkler heads with sufficient operational radius to cover a tennis court. 3, record 1, English, - underground%20sprinkler%20system

L'arrosage souterrain, peu répandu, sauf dans des cas d'espèces (jardins sur dalles, par exemple) et qui utilise: soit le système de drainage éventuellement en place en sens inverse; soit le système du tuyau poreux [...]. Ces systèmes sont relativement coûteux [...]. Un système d'arrosage enterré plus économique d'installation [...] consiste à placer dans le sol des "clapets-vannes" selon un quadrillage de 30 m: on fixe au moment de l'arrosage un arroseur à grande portée sur "canne" dont la base est à baïonnette et s'emboîte sur le clapet-vanne. 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27arrosage%20enterr%C3%A9
