A border ditch is a component of an irrigation system that utilizes ditches to separate individual strips of land and deliver water along the length of the field.
In more detail, a border ditch system functions as follows:
-
Division: Ditches act as dividers, creating distinct strips of land for irrigation.
-
Water Delivery: The ditch serves as a channel to transport irrigation water.
-
Application: Water is released from the ditch at various points along the field to irrigate the individual strips.
This method allows for controlled and localized water application, improving irrigation efficiency.
