A key step in the design of any sprinkler system is deciding where to place the sprinklers. To make the right placement decisions, you need to understand that the underlying objective is to provide a uniform application of water. Uniformity of application is related to sprinkler spacing through the concept of overlap. This module explains the terminology, concepts and considerations used in making sprinkler spacing decisions. (40 pg., 3-hole punched binder insert, ISBN: ) (2012) Sprinkler Uniformity : Sprinkler Uniformity Code: EF_SS_SM Part two of the set presents sprinkler distribution uniformity. Sprinkler systems should be designed to apply water as uniformly as is economically practical. While the description of uniformity involves mathematics, this module is designed to graphically convey the concept of overlapping sprinklers and the resulting uniformity. The mathematical formulae for describing uniformity are explained and are related to a visual presentation of the uniformity. (35 pg., 3-hole punched binder insert, ISBN: ) (2012) Code: EF_SU_SM Sprinkler Efficiency & Management : Sprinkler Efficiency & Management Part three of the series shows how irrigation efficiency relates to uniformity and how management affects uniformity. Continuing to use graphics, the module shows how management affects efficiency and how uniformity and management together can maximize efficiency.
