| Abstract/Contents: | "The future of irrigation design is in software, with highly-specialized CAD tools that dramatically speed the process of producing irrigation plans. The first, and most crucial element of irrigation design software, is the equipment database: all the varied manufacturers, with new and updated models, and wildly varying performance specifications. Further, all these pieces of equipment have to be matched with appropriate symbols to represent them on the plan. There needs to be tools to rapidly and easily place sprinklers and equipment, calculate their flow and pressure needs, indicate how they are to be piped, generate a legend, and most importantly, perform the flow hydraulics calculations to determine thie [the] sizes of pipes required. Programs such as Land F/X offer this, as well as advanced error-checking, resulting in the production of a plan in a fraction of the time it normally takes, and verified accurate to a degree never possible before." |
