| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses low-cost ways that many improve an irrigation system's performance, stating that "taking advantage of sprayhead and rotor advancements - including hybrid sprinklers, check valves and pressure regulators - is a simple way to step up an irrigation system's efficiency." Introduces new products, including a hybrid multi-stream, multi-trajectory rotating sprinkler, nicknamed the "sprotor." States that "these sprinklers' low precipitation rates significantly reduce run-off and allow water to percolate deeper into the soil, which helps establish stronger, deeper root systems, in turn reducing how frequently the turf needs to be watered." Explains the possible benefits of taller sprinkler head pop-up heights and pressure regulators. Concludes that "advanced controls are going to drive up the performance expectations of the sprinklers." |
