Border Irrigation System

Border irrigation is an old irrigation system used in the western part of the United States to irrigate alfalfa, wheat, other small grains, and sometimes row crops. It is a system where a large volume of water is put in a defined border or bay at the top of the field and guided by the borders down the slope in a uniform wetting pattern to the end of the field.
