irrigation channels
Farm water routes
Irrigation channels are artificial waterways that carry water from a source to agricultural fields.
They range from simple earthen ditches to concrete-lined canals, distributing water across farmland that wouldn't otherwise receive enough rainfall.
The irrigation channels fed water to rice paddies throughout the valley.
Also called irrigation ditches or canals.
