Replying to @Lauren B What is a “check” and why do I need it for flood irrigation? 💦🌵 The easiest way to explain it is that the irrigation check acts like a temporary dam. I put it into the canal to raise the water level so water can flow through my irrigation ports and onto my acre. One of those Arizona things I never expected to know this much about. 😂 What else do you want to know about how our flood irrigation works? #FloodIrrigation #ArizonaLiving #Irrigation #AcreProperty #GilbertArizona
