Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of two sprinkler types,mini and micro, type order to identify the best operating circumstances for achieving high application efficiency. The application efficiency of low quarter (AELQ), distribution uniformity (DU), and coefficient of uniformity (CU) were assessed at varying operating pressure (100, 150, and 200 kPa) and riser height (30, 50, and 80 cm). In order to prevent water loss and reduce the cost of the irrigation system, it was determined that the operating conditions that produced the highest coefficient of uniformity, distribution uniformity, and application efficiency of the low quarter were an operating pressure of 150 kPa and riser heights of 80 cm for mini sprinklers and 50 cm for micro sprinklers. When using treated waste water in a landscape irrigation system, the distribution uniformity values for micro sprinklers are higher than those for mini sprinklers under the same operating pressure and riser height conditions.
