A sprinkler irrigation system allows the application of water under high pressure with the help of a pump. It releases water-like rainfall through small-diameter nozzles placed in the pipes. Water is distributed through a system of pipes and sprayed into the air.

In the case of impact sprinklers, for good uniformity, several sprinklers must be operated together so that their patterns overlap. Each emitter has a unique wetting pattern. This determines the specific spacing between sprinklers to achieve the best uniformity.

There are a few kinds of sprinkler irrigation methods and emitters. Central pivot, impact sprinklers, and more.
