Contiguous means that the piece of land is not separated by natural or man-made boundaries such as river, dike and road that are not part of the holding. It may be surrounded by other lands, water, road, forest or other features that are not part of the holding or part of the holding under different land tenure. A parcel may consist of one or more fields or plots adjacent to each other.

Definition Irrigation refers to purposely providing land with water, other than rain, for improving pastures or crop production. Irrigation usually implies the existence of infrastructure and/or equipment for applying water to crops, such as irrigation canals, pumps, sprinklers or localized watering systems. It may also include manual watering of plants using buckets, watering cans or other devices. Uncontrolled land flooding by overflowing of rivers or streams is not considered irrigation.
