| Border Dykes are a flood control
irrigation system. Border Dykes require a lot of preliminary earth works - digging the races and grading the paddock to make it flat with a slight tilt. Clocks control the flood gates.

Advantages No manual labour involved in controlling it . |
Disadvantages Considered by many to be less efficient as it drowns the soil structure.
