Water-meadow

A water-meadow is a special type of field where farmers grow crops, like grass or hay, that need lots of water to grow. Farmers create a water-meadow by digging little channels or ditches that let water flow into the field. The water stays in the field for a while and then flows out through another ditch on the other side. This way, the plants in the water-meadow get just the right amount of water they need to grow healthy and strong. It's like your mama watering your houseplants, but on a much bigger scale! Farmers have been creating water-meadows for thousands of years to help grow their crops, and they're still used today in some parts of the world.
