Abstract/Contents:"Distribution uniformity and precipitation rate are important for determining base irrigation schedules. Currently, uniformity is calculated using catch can data. There is interest in using soil moisture data instead because of ease of collecting data and because it measures root-zone moisture. Data were collected at 3 fairways identified as high, medium, and low-traffic areas. Catch cans were placed according to IA recommendations for auditing a fairway. Additional catch cans were placed to give a surplus of data locations. Soil moisture measurements were taken adjacent to each catch can with a portable wave reflectometer before and after irrigation. Sampling depths were 1.5, 3, and 4.8 inches. Distribution uniformities and net precipitation rates were computed for the full data sets and on pre-selected subsets. The reduced data set results were analyzed to determine minimum sampling points necessary to calculate a representative distribution uniformity and precipitation rate."
