Sprinkler Irrigation System Maintenance for Improved Uniformity and Application Efficiency in Barren Land
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: An irrigation sprinkler is used to water agricultural crops, lawns, landscapes, golf courses, and other areas, also aiding in cooling and dust control. Sprinkler irrigation mimics rainfall and is promoted over surface methods, especially in regions like Coimbatore, where annual rainfall ranges from 550 to 900 mm. This paper examines the efficiency of sprinkler irrigation at RVS Technical Campus, aiming to optimize water use and reduce human intervention. The study focuses on an impact sprinkler system, monitoring soil moisture to determine water needs and using a rotating system to ensure accurate water scheduling and minimize runoff. KEYWORDS: Sprinkler irrigation, Soil Moisture, Water efficiency, Installation, Design.
