Sprinklers are devices used to distribute water over a specific area, primarily for irrigation and landscaping. They work by spraying water in a controlled manner, ensuring that plants receive the moisture they need to grow. Sprinklers can be stationary or movable and come in various designs, including oscillating, rotary, and drip systems. In addition to gardening, sprinklers are also commonly used in fire protection systems. These fire sprinklers automatically release water when they detect heat from a fire, helping to control flames and minimize damage. Both types of sprinklers play essential roles in maintaining healthy landscapes and ensuring safety in buildings.
