In the 19th century, farm irrigation systems typically relied on gravity to distribute water from a water source, such as a river or reservoir, to the fields. Channels or ditches were dug to divert water to the crops, and levees or gates were used to control the flow of water. Some systems also utilized primitive pumps or windmills to lift water from a source to higher elevation areas. These irrigation systems required manual labor to operate and maintain, and were often supplemented by rainfall to ensure adequate water supply for crops.
