Abstract: A method was developed for designing microirrigation submain units. The lateral discharge equation was used to express the relationship between the discharge and pressure head at the inlet of a lateral to allow a submain ...

Abstract: A method was developed for the design of microirrigation laterals based on the required average emitter discharge and the required uniformity of water application. The finite-element method was used to analyze the hydraulics ...

Abstract: Water application uniformity is an important performance criterion that must be considered during the design and evaluation of the microirrigation systems. This study was conducted to evaluate the water application uniformity ...

Abstract: In this study, a method for designing paired laterals that meet with required water application uniformity on sloped fields was developed using the energy gradient line approach based on the definition of the best submain ...

Abstract: The hydraulic performance of drip-irrigation emitters is very important for the design of drip-irrigation systems, especially when commonly available high-head emitters are used in low-head drip-irrigation systems. This ...

Abstract: A laboratory experiment was carried out to study the relationships of emitter discharge rate (EDR) and distribution of water and salt for two typical coastal saline soils. The objective was to find a simple method to ...

Abstract: A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the effects of the emitter discharge rate (EDR) on the distribution of water and salt in a manipulated soil texture of a coarse soil surrounded by takyric solonetz. The objective ...

Abstract: A procedure called water wiping is developed to measure the amount of water intercepted by the canopy of winter wheat under sprinkler irrigation. Macromolecule bibulous materials with high water absorption is used to collect ...

Abstract: A field experiment was carried out to research the effect of soil temperature distribution on root water uptake in soil water simulation. Soil temperature distribution patterns under border irrigation and surface drip ...
