irrigation water
Farm field supply
Water applied to land to support crop growth, distinct from rainfall.
Irrigation water comes from rivers, wells, reservoirs, or other managed sources and is delivered through canals, pipes, sprinklers, or drip systems: The farm's irrigation water comes from the Colorado River.
Water rights and allocation of irrigation water are contentious issues in arid regions.
