Irrigation des planches par levées - Cette méthode consiste à construire, dans le sens de la pente du champ, des levées parallèles de 4 à 6 po (10 à 15 cm) de haut espacées de 30 à 65 pi (9 à 20 m) l'une de l'autre. (...) L'eau est introduite dans la planche à son extrémité supérieure puis s'étend entre les levées pour couvrir toute la planche. Ce système peut être utilisé pour toutes les sortes de cultures et convient particulièrement bien aux cultures fourragères. 1, record 1, French, - irrigation%20des%20planches%20par%20lev%C3%A9es

Topography is the most obvious physical feature and probably controls irrigation development as much as the water supply. (...) If the land is relatively level in one direction but too steep for border dykes, it may be necessary to use furrows or sprinklers. 1, record 2, English, - border%20dyke

La topographie est le facteur physique le plus évident et influe sur le développement de l'irrigation probablement autant que l'approvisionnement d'eau (...) Si le sol est relativement de niveau dans une direction mais trop à pic pour des levées de planches, il peut s'avérer nécessaire d'utiliser des rigoles ou des asperseurs. 1, record 2, French, - lev%C3%A9e%20de%20planche
