| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the effects of wind on water distribution and how to correct for this problem in order to achieve uniformity. Irrigation components, water distribution, sprinkler placement, climatological or soil conditions, water pressure, nozzle size, plant material, slope and wind are all factors that influence distribution. Considers improvements in modern technology and discusses new trends such as operating at lower pressures and velocities, and applying computer programs to predict wind effect on water distribution. |
