EN: irrigation system
Think of this as the life support for your lola's garden or a vast rice field. It can be a simple 'tabo' and a pail, a garden hose, or a complex irrigation canal. It's the system that delivers the 'elixir of life' (H2O) to thirsty plants, ensuring we have rice on our plates and not just 'hugot' in our hearts.
ROOT MEANING: water
More formal term is 'patubig' or 'irigasyon', but 'pampatubig' is understood as any device or system used for watering.
🇵🇭 Nasira ang makinang pampatubig kaya nanganganib matuyo ang mga palay.
🇺🇸 The irrigation machine broke, so the rice plants are in danger of drying out.
