This option is the most sophisticated one which is composed of a couple of elements in the system. The main part is the pump unit which provides enough pressure to water at the source so that it can be delivered to the desired area and in the desired quantities. The type commonly preferred is the centrifugal pump due to its pumping capacity.

The pumping element is attached to all water main and sub lines that are spread all over the area to be irrigated. The system can be buried or placed on top of the ground depending on whether the system is temporary or permanent. The junctions and corners are connected with tee and elbow joints respectively which can be made from rubber, polythene or aluminum.
