A centre-pivot irrigation system consists of a number of self-propelled towers supporting a pipeline rotating around a pivot point. Water supplied at the pivot point flows radially outward for distribution by sprayers or sprinklers located along the pipeline. The water is usually delivered to the pivot point by an underground pipeline with the pump located in the corner or on the side of the field. 1, record 1, English, - centre%2Dpivot%20irrigation%20system
