neutral  Anthony Green: Hi Alessandra. it's OK as a description, but it doesn't get many hits, so might be a translation from another language perhaps? 2. I take your point Alessandra, but there aren't any hits for "variable volume watering" or "variable volume * watering"

  -> Hi, Anthony! 44 hits for irrigazione "a volume variabile" and 197000 for "variable volume" watering. It's not so common even in Italian

variable delivery flow rate


Explanation:
variable delivery flow rate

"flow rate" significa "portata" che è il volume d'acqua (di solito all'ora), "variable delivery flow rate" significa "volume variabile d'acqua di alimentazione", infatti si tratta della distribuzione dell'acqua.
