ABSTRACT:
A land irrigation system in which a traveling sprinkler line is supplied with water from a stationary water supply conduit extending in the direction of movement of the sprinkler line, the apparatus of the invention being designed to supply water to the sprinkler line from spaced risers forming part of the water supply conduit. A conveyance moving along the water supply conduit supports a water carrying arm having a coupling at one end for successive connection to water outlet valves on the risers as the conveyance moves along the length dimension of the water supply conduit. The water outlet at the other end of the water carrying arm is connected for water flow to the water inlet of the sprinkler line during rotation of the water carrying arm by means of a continuous water flow arrangement. The conveyance when intermediate two risers stops and the coupling at the one end of the water carrying arm is disconnected from one riser. A power device then rotates the water carrying arm to bring the coupling into registry with the next riser. The coupling then connects with the water outlet valve of that riser and movement of the conveyance resumes. Provision is made for moving the water carrying arm supporting apparatus relative to the stationary water supply conduit while accommodating the length of the coupled water carrying arm. A method of supplying water to a traveling sprinkler line is also disclosed.
