irrigation.
Intervals between irrigation.
Hours per set.
And required flow per unit area.
DEPTH OF APPLICATION
for sprinkling or flooding irrigation system
much water may be lost by excessive deep
percolation.
Where:-
Idx is the maximum net depth of each irrigation application,
mm(in).
Y is the portion of available moisture depletion allowed or
desired.
Fc is the volumetric moisture at field capacity, mm/m (in/ft).
Wp is the volumetric moisture at wilting point, mm/m (in/ft).
Z is the soil depth to be considered, m (ft).
P is the area wetted as a percent of to the total area.
The volume of water applied per irrigation
cycle Vi can be determined by multiplying the
total surface area to be irrigated by the depth
of application per irrigation Id.
Where:
P1 is taken from table 3.3 for S1.
S1 is the narrow spacing between pairs of
laterals which should be taken from table3.3 to
give p=100%, m(ft).
P2 is taken from table 3.3 for S2.
S2 is the wider spacing between laterals which
is equal to(Sr - S1.
Sr is the spacing between tree rows, m(ft).
Problem
determine the persentage of soil wetted and the
proper emitter lateral spacing for a double lateral
system with tree rows spaced at S r =6m and 4 lph
. emitters on a medium textured soil
From table 3.3
Se =1m
S1 =1.2m (at p=100%)
S2 = Sr - S1 =6-1.2=4.8 P2 =24%
=39%
3. Multi-exit emitters:
In Using it the emission points can be spaced
to produce the same results obtained by using
double laterals.
On other layout the emission points are
clustered around each tree.
4. Zigzag and pigtail:
In many layouts the emitters or emission points are
clustered around each tree rather than being
uniformly spaced along the lateral.
P==
From table 3.3
Se=1.3 m
Sl=1.5 m for p=100%
Se=sep , sw=sl
P=
=33%
