- Practical advice for planning watering zones appropriate to climates and landscape varieties. - Tips for successful do-it-yourself installation or for planning a system with a professional. - Complete how-to for installing sprinkler equipment from a variety of manufacturers. - Illustrated step-by-step instructions, troubleshooting tips, and do-it-yourself hints.

The book Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation is intended as a text book of micro irrigation design and practices for the students of the agricultural sciences and the professionals and workers in the field of micro irrigation. The book discusses the type and components, hydraulics and design, installation and maintenance of micro irrigation system. It contains good number of numerical as example and task to get the students familiar to the requirements, complicacies, and possible remedies in actual working condition. In addition to conventional broad and short questions in every of the book there are multiple choice questions to assist the students in preparing the competitive examinations.

Tells how to design a customized watering system, offers advice on selecting and installing parts, and explains how to create an irrigation schedule.

The design text, Sprinkle and Trickle Irrigation, opens up a new and clear window through which to view the physics, economics, design, and manage ment of pressurized irrigation systems. A broad array of system types and ap plications have been covered in detail to provide for complete understanding of systems design. Topics include soil-water-plant relations, general planning con cepts, hydraulics, economics, sizing, operation, maintenance, and special uses. Pressurized irrigation system types covered include hand-line, wheel-line, solid set, traveler, center-pivot, linear-moving and big-gun-sprinkler systems, pump ing systems, and a broad array of trickle system components. The work in this text culminates earlier major works by Jack Keller on the W. R. Ames Company Irrigation Handbook (1967), Rain Bird Sprinkler Man ufacturing Corp. 's Trickle Irrigation Design (1975), and the USDA-Soil Con servation Service's National Engineering Handbook, Section 15: Irrigation Chapter 11: Sprinkle Irrigation (1983) and Chapter 15: Trickle Irrigation (1984). These earlier works form the foundation upon which the majority of currently used design texts are based. The years of design and troubleshooting experiences of the authors and wide ranges of environments and design appli cations in which they have worked have resulted in the substance and robustness of this text in stated relationships and procedures.

Outlines irrigation options available to homeowners, from fully automated sprinklers for a large yard to simple manual drip systems for balcony plants. Explains sprinkler systems and how to install them. Includes a section on maintenance and repairs.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2024 in the subject Agrarian Studies, , language: English, abstract: This book on drip and sprinkler irrigation system design evaluates the latest available books and research in the field and presents them in a concise and clear manner that can be useful as a reference for graduate and undergraduate students, including practicing engineers. The reference book contains up-to-date data and information on the design of drip and sprinkler irrigation systems. The book is divided into two parts; the first part deals with the basics of sprinkler irrigation and goes deeper into the design part by mostly using the Keller and Bliesner book, and the second part details all about drip irrigation system right from the components and types to the design detail. Agriculture originated when the communities began adding food growing to hunting and foraging, in the Neolithic era, 8,000 – 10,000 years ago. In the beginning of this process agriculture was based on rainfall and uncontrolled river floods. Irrigation as an activity, started to develop in places where natural water resources, mainly rains, were insufficient to support the current population. This, in fact, was one of the main reasons for the appearance of central authorities involved in water production and control.
