==Suitable conditions==

Traditional sprinkler irrigation is not so well suited to small farms. Typical spacings for sprinklers are 18 m × 18 m, and so they are not so flexible and adaptable to the multitude of small plots usually found on many farms. An alternative which may be more applicable to small farms is the use of smaller sprinklers connected to the mainline by flexible hoses. This is often called a hose-pull system. These sprinklers have great flexibility in operation and are easily re-located around the farm.
