Abstract:
A method for irrigating an irrigation region () with an irrigation unit () includes the steps of subdividing the irrigation region () into a plurality of subregions (), establishing a sequence for irrigating the subregions () based on irrigation requirements for the irrigation region (), and directing a fluid () to one or more of the subregions () using the irrigation unit () based on the sequence. The irrigation regions () can be rectangular, square, or hexagonal, and can each have non-overlapping rectangular, square or triangular, similarly-sized subregions (). The irrigation requirements can include the color of the subregions (), the elevation of one subregion () relative to another subregion () and/or other physical conditions. The sequence can be established entirely within a housing () of the irrigation unit (). The irrigation unit () can direct differing amounts of fluid () per unit of area to the subregions () and/or can direct the fluid () to one subregion () at a time.
