All rights reserved. For example, just because everything around your park or golf course is green doesn't prove uniformity of coverage, authors Tim Wilson and David Zoldoske note.
Uniformity is defined simply as how evenly a sprinkler delivers water over the ground.
Irrigation uniformity ensures a number of benefits for everything and everyone involved in the process, Wilson and Zoldoske explain. This is not only bad for the budget, it wastes valuable water resources and still can result in pest and health problems for plants. Irrigation uniformity requires that a system be properly designed, maintained and managed. The guide offers simple steps and techniques for evaluating design and performance. It includes a checklist of problems to look for during a physical inspection of the system, and it offers Instructions for performing actual field tests using catch cans.
