ABSTRACT:
A furrowed irrigated field is diked and water is applied to the furrows. The water is prevented from running down the furrows by the dikes and therefore stays in the approximate location where applied. The water is applied to the furrows from an elevated pipe at right angles to the furrows. The pipe moves along the furrows. At each furrow to be irrigated, a drop pipe extends downward, terminating a short distance above the ground. A sock or flexible drop hose is attached to the end of the drop pipe. The hose drags along the ground so that there is a minimum of erosion to the soil or evaporation of the applied water.
