| Abstract/Contents: | "The performance of an irrigation system is most often described in terms of its distribution uniformity. The standard procedure for measuring irrigation distribution uniformity does not take into account the spatial variability of water in the soil following irrigation events. This research was initiated to evaluate the irrigation distribution uniformity of golf course irrigation systems and soil moisture distribution uniformity following their application. The lower quarter distribution uniformity (DULQ) at five courses averaged 55 % and ranged from 45 to 63 %. Soil moisture lower quarter distribution uniformity (SMDULQ) was 11 to 20 % higher than irrigation distribution uniformity. Semivariance analysis revealed a strong spatial relationship for irrigation distribution. However, spatial analysis of soil moisture was not consistent with the variability in irrigation delivery. It was concluded that the interaction of soil properties with turfgrass, not irrigation delivery, is the most significant contributing factor to soil moisture uniformity. From this study it was concluded that irrigation distribution should not be the only measure of irrigation system performance when considered in the context of water availability." |
