--- | ---
furrow | 1 Plants are grown in raised beds or listed rows (in the case of row crops) with water distributed throughout the field via ditches or pipes, and between the beds or rows using furrows. Where ditches are used, manually controlled siphon tubes may be used move water from the main ditch to the furrow. When pipes are used, water flow can be controlled by turning it on or off at the local source or by using automatic or manually controlled gates to transfer it from one set of ditches to another. Unless the field is small or very level, parts of it may suffer from water-logging while other parts may be too dry. Depending on heat, wind, and soil permeability, much water may be lost before it can benefit the plants.
linearMove | 4 A form of overhead irrigation similar to center pivot irrigation in which the equipment is configured to move in a straight line, where the water is pulled from a central ditch.
lateralMove | 5 A form of overhead irrigation in which a series of pipes, each with a wheel of about 1.5 metre diameter permanently affixed to its midpoint and sprinklers along its length, are coupled together at one edge of a field with water supplied (for example: by using a large hose) at one end of the series. After sufficient water has been applied the assembly is rotated either by hand or with a purpose-built mechanism, so that the sprinklers move approximately 10 metres across the field, following which the water supply is reconnected. The process is repeated until the opposite edge of the field is reached. This system is less expensive to install than a center pivot, but much more labor intensive to operate, and it is limited in the amount of water it can carry. They are most often used for small or oddly-shaped fields, such as those found in hilly or mountainous regions, or in regions where labor is inexpensive.
drip | 6 Water is applied slowly to the roots of plants, by depositing the water either on the soil surface or directly to the root zone, typically through the use of 'emitters' (which emit the water in a slow stream) or 'micro-sprinklers' (which spray water in a small area). This type of system can be the most water-efficient method of irrigation, if managed properly, since evaporation and runoff are minimized. Drip irrigation is often combined with plastic mulch, further reducing evaporation. Drip irrigation can also be accomplished using porous clay vessels sunk into the soil and occasionally filled from a hose or bucket.
subirrigation | 7 Water is delivered from below, absorbed upwards, and the excess collected for recycling. Typically, a solution of water and nutrients floods a container or flows through a trough for a short period of time, 10-20 minutes, and is then pumped back into a holding tank for reuse. It is similar in principle and action to subsurface drip irrigation, and results in mater and nutrient conservation. It is, for example, used in commercial greenhouse production, usually for potted plants.
terrace | 8 Large steps are cut into hillsides, supported by stone or concrete walls, and as water flows down the hillside it is channelled to each plot, most often by ditches. Terracing is usually very labor-intensive, since fields are small and access to them may be steep and narrow making it difficult to mechanize the work. In addition, the walls need constant maintenance, especially in rainy climates. However, terracing does allow steep mountainsides to be used to grow plants (although it may be more cost-effective to use them only for animal pasturage).
centerPivot | 3 A form of overhead irrigation consisting of several segments of pipe (usually galvanized steel or aluminum) joined together and supported by trusses, mounted on wheeled towers with sprinklers positioned along its length, the system moving in a circular pattern and fed with water from the pivot point at the center of the arc. Most center pivot systems now have drops hanging from a u-shaped pipe called a gooseneck attached at the top of the pipe with sprinkler heads that are positioned a few feet (at most) above the crop, thus limiting evaporative losses. Drops can also be used with drag hoses or bubblers that deposit the water directly on the ground between crops. The crops are planted in a circle to conform to the center pivot.
overhead | 2 Water is piped to one or more central locations within the field and distributed by overhead high-pressure sprinklers or guns or by lower-pressure sprays. A system utilizing sprinklers, sprays, or guns mounted overhead on permanently installed risers is often referred to as a 'solid-set' irrigation system. Manually assembled systems of piping that are broken down to permit tillage and harvesting are sometimes called 'hand set' or 'hand move pipe'. Some sprinklers can also be hidden below ground level, if aesthetics is a concern, and pop up in response to increased water pressure. Sprinklers that spray in a fixed pattern are generally called sprays or spray heads. Higher pressure sprinklers that rotate are called rotors and are driven by a ball drive, gear drive, or impact mechanism. Rotors can be designed to rotate in a full or partial circle. Guns are similar to rotors, except that they generally operate at very high pressures. One drawback of overhead irrigation is that much water can be lost because of high winds or evaporation, and irrigating the entire field uniformly can be difficult or tedious if the system is not properly designed. Water remaining on plants' leaves may promote fungal and other diseases.

Title: | ISDES_2.LAN
Definition: | The International Organization for Standardization (ISO 639-3) three character code that designates the language or macrolanguage of the source of a geographic name.
Description: | A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map, regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in Spanish.
