The water accelerates as it moves through the pipe towards the nozzle, newton's 2nd law F=ma means that this water produces a force, newton's 3rd law then states every force produces an equal and opposite force.
As this water produces a force, an equal and opposite force is produced. A force acts on the sprinkler opposite to the flow of motion of the water.
This causes a torque, T=FR on the sprinkler causing it to spin. Where F is the force produced and R is the distance of the sprinkler arm.
The sprinkler does not require electricity to move

Why does the sprinkler turn only when the water is on and turns in the direction opposite that of the water?
Newton's third law of motion. The turning of the sprinkler head is the equal and opposite reaction to the water leaving the sprinkler nozzles. The water goes out and the sprinkler nozzle is pushed backward, turning it in a circle because the arm is attached to the middle of the sprinkler. The higher the water flow, the faster the sprinkler spins.
