Irrigation par submersion. Lorsque la pente naturelle est nulle ou presque, le ruissellement devient impossible. Un débit supérieur à la perméabilité du sol devient nécessaire pour conduire l'eau à l'extrémité des parcelles. L'eau s'accumule alors en une nappe épaisse qui s'infiltre peu à peu. Plusieurs variantes sont possibles : les bassins fermés par des levées [...] Les cuvettes reliées à des canaux [...] Enfin les rigoles d'infiltration que l'on remplit d'eau en vue d'une lente infiltration, sont un système d'arrosage que l'on peut rattacher à l'irrigation par «infiltration» ou «à la raie». 3, record 5, French, - irrigation%20par%20submersion
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Irrigation de surface : [...] L'irrigation par submersion se pratique en terrain plat dans des bassins, entourés de diguettes, que l'on remplit sur une hauteur correspondant à la dose d'arrosage. L'eau pénètre dans le sol par infiltration verticale. Le riz est la culture type ainsi irriguée, bien que sur la majeure partie du cycle végétatif l'arrosage ne soit pas discontinu mais permanent. Ce n'est que peu avant la récolte que les rizières sont mises à sec [...] 4, record 5, French, - irrigation%20par%20submersion
