Irrigation and Hydraulic Motors Used In Irrigation In France
Utility of Irrigation.—Although Continental France belongs by her climate to the temperate zone, and although extreme heat is as exceptional as extreme cold, it is seldom that during the course of any year there is an exact compensation or equilibrium between the alternate periods of dry heat and rain, which are equally necessary to vegetation. Even in countries where the climate is ordinarily rainy, there are periods of drought when all agricultural economy is demoralized and when irrigation is the only means of saving the crops, in part at least. However, the absolute necessity of irrigation, in Northern and Central France, is only felt at irregular intervals.
