Irrigation Cannon (High Altitude)

High Altitude Irrigation Cannons, also known by their street names, Tower Sprinklers and also Tinklers, are large irrigation devices usually mounted on artificial towers at high elevations. Even though these devices can be mounted at ground elevation, for safety considerations they are mounted on towers, even when employed at remote locations. Their original purpose was for irrigation water distribution that simulated natural rainfall. Their use was later expanded for non-dam water storage, more commonly referred to as artifical snow, at higher elevations.

History

Large irrigation devices, commonly referred to as industrial sprinklers, irrigation guns, sprinkler guns, etc., have been employed for many decades to provide water over large areas for crops, fields, parks, and any other region that requires artificial irrigation.

Irrigation Cannons, with few exceptions, are mounted on masts. These masts are more properly referred to as Irrigation Masts, to differentiate them from antenna masts, etc.^U�[±hMh,d8Ôc�!©C�žpg2V½<»�íÓ7iºø%T€æ,æ´ ÷à�裱�šAe-cÎ[oˆ«W]�ù,—relÅÝûEçuØ·ËÎ?asŽÀÃ÷(�å{­·X?)s�ŸYàñ‘€Çr¼w€ëGÅ�KbK¢ŒÕJ#�ði*{Xbû2N°Oøâ�U�™3�øÌ�õœÆ}¡�0‹˜��ÓUDr�…$fh�{F\r¯Òo¾Á——³š¼�<«�ð¡Í§þ7’ãy±*‰-�Íß�­Àžü¢Ðþ(ÕÎýš0-}õ~¾��?ÇØ¡�˜c¨¢E-
