Measurement Accuracy Analysis of Sprinkler Irrigation Rainfall in Relation to Collector Shape

Abstract

Sprinkler irrigation is a widely studied subject in scientific and technical literature. Initially studies were mainly conducted experimentally, whereas more recently we can say that the use of simulation models is the rule. To calibrate such models, experimental data of high precision are required to prevent possible errors in simulations. In sprinkler irrigation evaluation the collectors play a central role and should be designed to minimize the perturbation of water application it is measuring.
