No frequent misspelling variants are recorded for Irrigation in our index, suggesting the orthography either follows predictable German patterns or the word is uncommon enough that typo corpora lack signal.It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct German form is Irrigation, spelled I-R-R-I-G-A-T-I-O-N, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
