| Abstract/Contents: | "The goal of good irrigation management is to supply the landscape with the correct amount of water at the proper time. There is an easy procedure you can use to audit the performance of an irrigation system called a catch-can test. The irrigation audit will measure two important variables: distribution uniformity and precipitation rate." Gives step-by-step instructions for performing a catch-can test and calculating the distribution uniformity and precipitation rate data. |
