Irrigation

I don't know a great deal about irrigation.....but the historic drought that I just went through has me thinking about irrigation. 

I have a field that is basically 900'x1600' rectangle. Basically flat except for a 15' rise in elevation in the middle of the length. In other words the field lies in two planes. There is a substantial river at one end of the 900'. I would pump water from the river.

 

I have read where hose and reel is the most inefficient, but in my case I am thinking that it would be best for my situation. I am interested in opinion and information from our members that are directly involved with irrigation. 

 

Regards, Mike
