ABSTRACT An irrigation system in which a continuously travelling sprinkler line is supplied with water from a stationary water supply conduit extending in the direction of the movement of the sprinkler line. The apparatus is designed to continuously supply water to the sprinkler from spaced risers forming part of the water supply conduit. A conveyance moves along the water supply conduit. The conveyance carries a rotating water manifold with a plurality of water carrying arms extending radially from the manifold in angularly spaced relation to each other for successive connection to water outlet valves on the risers as the conveyance moves along the water supply conduit. The water outlet from the water manifold is connected to the water inlet of the sprinkler line through a water con- duit having a swivel joint. The water inlet end of each arm has a coupling device for coupling with a valve of a riser and opening and closing the same. Coordinating means act to close the riser water outlet valve and uncouple the arm coupling device from one riser when another arm coupling device has coupled with another riser and opened the water outlet valve of that riser. With one coupling device connected to one riser, power assist means and/or movement of the conveyance along the water supply conduit can be utilized to cause the water manifold and water carrying arms to rotate around the connected riser and also relative to the conveyance to bring another coupling device into contiguity with the next riser in the direction of conveyance travel.
