Provide with water (8)

I believe the answer is:

irrigate

(Other definitions for irrigate that I've seen before include "Water soil to make it more fertile" , "Bring water to land" , "Supply land with a constant flow of water" , "Supply water to land to help growth" , "Provide water artificially" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
