irrigation ditch
Crop watering trench
An irrigation ditch is a channel dug to carry water from a source to agricultural fields.
These ditches form networks across farmland, directing water where it's needed for crops.
The term distinguishes functional water channels from decorative or drainage ditches: The farmer cleaned debris from the irrigation ditch before planting season.
