A sprinkler is a device used to distribute water over a specific area, commonly for irrigation or landscaping purposes. It works by spraying water in a controlled manner, ensuring that plants receive adequate moisture. Sprinklers can be stationary or movable and are often connected to a water source, such as a garden hose or an irrigation system. There are various types of sprinklers, including oscillating, rotary, and drip sprinklers, each designed for different watering needs. They are widely used in residential gardens, parks, and agricultural fields to promote healthy plant growth and maintain lush green spaces.
