Abstract: In recent years, significant effort has been made to derive simple analytical solutions for designing single laterals and rectangular drip irrigation units. In contrast, the trapezoidal shape often aligns with the natural ...

Abstract: When designing trickle irrigation systems in sloped fields, the use of pressure-compensating (PC) emitters is generally preferred to ensure the emitter distribution uniformity regardless of the land topography and the ...

Abstract: A new analytical solution is developed to calculate the hydraulic emission uniformity (EUh) of horizontal tapered drip laterals. Our methodology builds upon normalizing the pressure head profiles along each segment of the ...
