The simplest system of them all: water is conveyed through hoses connected to a tap, then distributed directly to the garden by means of nozzles, which spray the water in a concentrated jet or sprinkled like rain, or by sprinklers positioned on the lawn.

There are three types of sprinklers: stationary and rotating sprinklers, simple and compact, to irrigate a set area that can be adjustable as required; and impulse sprinklers, derived from the type used in farming, which have a greater range and are therefore more suited to larger surface areas. Oscillating sprinklers imitate natural rainfall, watering a rectangular area that can be adjusted in size as necessary.
