rotary sprinkler

Rotating lawn waterer

A rotary sprinkler is a lawn or garden irrigation device that spins as it sprays water, distributing it in a circular pattern.

The rotation is typically powered by water pressure itself, creating the characteristic clicking sound as it sweeps back and forth: The rotary sprinkler covered most of the backyard.
