A satellite image of circular fields characteristic of center pivot irrigation, Kansas Farmland with circular pivot irrigation. Center-pivot irrigation (sometimes called central pivot irrigation), also called water-wheel and circle irrigation, is a method of crop irrigation in which equipment rotates around a pivot and crops are watered with sprinklers.
The first use of sprinklers by farmers was some form of home and golf course type sprinklers. These ad hoc systems, while doing the job of the buried pipes and fixed sprinkler heads, interfered with cultivation and were expensive to maintain. Center-pivot irrigation was invented in 1940 [3] by farmer Frank Zybach, who lived in Strasburg ...

Drop generators convert a flow of water to simulated rainfall drops. Two types of drop generators exist. The first type is a gravity-fed unpressurized feed system such as a perforated pipe, hanging yarns, or an array of syringe needles which form drops. The second type is a pressurized feed system connected to a nozzle. Drop generator height is ...
Overhead irrigation, center-pivot design. Water is an essential part of irrigation. Plants always take a lot of ground water thus ground water should be replenished. For crop irrigation, optimal water efficiency means minimizing losses due to evaporation, runoff, or subsurface drainage while maximizing production. [33]
configuration of domestic rainwater harvesting system in Uganda. [1]Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is the collection and storage of rain, rather than allowing it to run off.. Rainwater is collected from a roof-like surface and redirected to a tank, cistern, deep pit (well, shaft, or borehole), aquifer, or a reservoir with percolation, so that it seeps down and restores the ground w

Most automatic irrigation valves are diaphragm valves in which the water above the diaphragm must be discharged for the valve to open. In a hydraulic system, the controller and valves are connected via small plastic tubes approximately 4 mm (¼ in) in diameter. The controller opens the tube connected to the valve, allowing that valve to open.
