P.S.: Is it compound adjective?

Answer

They're both correct, but the grammar is different.

In the first, 'the irrigated area' is a noun phrase made up of an article, an adjective and a noun.

In the second 'the area irrigated' is a condensed form of the phrase 'the area which is irrigated'.

Answer

Either are fine !
