The Center Pivot Irrigation in Ma’an, Jordan
The below image contains circular patches on the ground that many believe to be from alien spaceships. In reality, they are called center-pivot irrigation systems. This type of system waters crops with sprinklers while simultaneously spinning around a pivot, which then creates a circular pattern in the crops, as shown below.
The center pivot system is an irrigation method that conserves water and improves crop production, especially on large acreages. Given Jordan’s scarcity of water, the center pivot system is an ideal solution.
