Abstract/Contents:Discusses irrigation systems, stating that nearly all "use one of two types of sprinkler heads: rotor or spray. Generally, the head type is dictated by the size of the area it is irrigating...topography and available water pressure." Describes potential advantages of rotor heads, stating that they "have superior performance characteristics because they're designed to be spaced further apart, and distribute water evenly over large turf." Mentions potential disadvantages, including thta "low water pressure is a common problem if too few rotors are used to irrigate a very large area." Also describes spray heads, "commonly used for most residential applications."
