Abstract:
1. A method for irrigating a field, the method comprising: providing a first source of irrigation water located at a first source location wherein said first source of irrigation water having a constant pre-determined hydraulic pressure; determining a plurality of discrete areas within said field to be irrigated; determining a volume of said irrigation water to be disbursed to each discrete area of said plurality of discrete areas within said field; determining an elevation of said each discrete area; providing a length of continuous irrigation conduit so that said irrigation conduit is in fluid communication between said first source of irrigation water and said each discrete area of said plurality of discrete areas; calculating a specified diameter for each calculated orifice in said irrigation conduit to disburse said volume of said irrigation water to said each discrete area of said plurality of discrete areas; making said each calculated orifice of said specified diameter in said irrigation conduit as said irrigation conduit is installed at said each discrete area of said plurality of discrete areas so that said irrigation water is disbursed to said each discrete area under a calculated hydraulic pressure for said each calculated orifice of said specified diameter, wherein said specified diameter is varied for said each calculated orifice that is depended on said calculated hydraulic pressure; and providing a laser to make said each calculated orifice of said specified diameter in said irrigation conduit.
