An irrigation scheme can be defined as an agricultural project involving multiple holdings that depend on a shared distribution system for access to irrigation water and, in some cases, on a shared water storage or diversion facility. The term 'irrigation scheme' is also used more broadly to refer to a multitude of entities that correspond to this definition, when these entities share the same bulk conveyance system.

Stone fruits are produced by trees related to the genus prunus of the rose family (Rosaceae) characterized by fleshy tissue surrounding a single hard shelled seed.
