e/Water-meadow

Information
has gloss	eng: A water-meadow (also water meadow or watermeadow) is an area of grassland subject to controlled irrigation to increase agricultural productivity. Water-meadows were mainly used in Europe from the 16th to the early 20th centuries. Working water-meadows have now largely disappeared, but the field patterns and water channels of derelict water-meadows remain common in areas where they were used, such as parts of Italy, Switzerland and England. Derelict water-meadows are often of importance as wetland wildlife habitats.
