irrigated
 Irrigation refers to purposely providing land with water, other than rain, for
improving pastures or crop production.
 Irrigation usually implies the existence of infrastructure and equipment for
applying water to crops, such as irrigation canals, pumps, sprinklers or
localized watering systems.
 It also includes manual watering of plants using buckets, watering cans or
other devices.
 Area irrigated refers to the physical area of land irrigated, not the total area
of crops irrigated. Thus, land irrigated for successive crops in different
seasons within the reference year is only counted once in computing the area
of land irrigated.
