| Abstract/Contents: | "Irrigating spaces in the 8'-20' range efficiently has always been a challenge in Residential and Commercial applications. Impending Federal and State regulations imposing requirements for minimum levels of efficiency have forced the irrigation industry to seek out and explore new methods and technology to improve the way water is applied. Excessive watering (flood irrigating) has been the practice of irrigating smaller areas since the introduction of brass nozzles many years ago. Irrigating with emission devices, such as spray nozzles, that perform at high precipitation rates has been the status quo for over three decades. However, in the last few years, a new and innovative technology has been introduced in the form of Multi-Stream, Multi-Trajectory (MSMT) rotating nozzles. Introduced by the Walla Walla Corporation with roots back to the stream nozzle, the MSMT nozzles offer performance similar to highly efficient single-stream rotors in smaller radii. In addition, these new nozzles are simple and easy to install on top of existing pop-up sprinklers and propel performance to never before seen water savings. This higher level of performance is accomplished by achieving significantly higher Distribution Uniformities which more closely match soil absorption rates, resulting in a significant reduction of wasteful runoff. Additional benefits of these new nozzles include cost savings to the irrigation contractor upon installation. Case studies have shown contractors can save considerably on overall labor and cost of materials when compared to traditional spray nozzle installations." |
