| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses alterations to irrigation systems that can potentially maximize overall irrigation efficiency. States that "although this won't directly affect water use (unless there is serious pressure loss) it [pump efficiency] can have an impact on the bottom line with energy consumption." Highlights the potential importance of checking and adjusting nozzle heads because "as little as 5-10 pounds above or below the specified pressure can significantly alter the sprinkler profile and destroy distribution uniformity." Adds that superintendents should audit systems regularly and document the results which enables them to "watch the efficiency of the systems as it ages." Discusses a software program which "not only allows you to audit the current efficiency of your system but to also project the cost savings the improvement in distribution uniformity based on a scheduling coefficient will offer." |
