Damage Reduction Methods of Centre Pivot Irrigation Systems in Windstorms
The September and October (2013) wind storms in Canterbury, New Zealand had highest worldwide reported windstorm damaged on centre pivot irrigation systems. Around 800 centre pivot has been damaged and it cost farmers millions dollars directly and indirectly. It was very difficult to find the engineering proofed recommendation for farmers to protect their irrigation systems during windstorms. T...
متن کاملCSCE 996 Independent Research Controlling Center Pivot Irrigation Systems
Excessive, wasted water has prompted the creation of the Top 10 Water Challenges of Nebraska [1]. 70% of the world’s water usage is related to agriculture [7], more efficient irrigation solutions promise a large benefit for farmers, consumers and the environment. Through a USGS grant, the Cyber-Physical Networking Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has pledged to complete an autonomous i...
متن کاملAssessment of Two Variable Rate Irrigation Controllers used on a Centre- Pivot
This paper reports on the contrasting patterns of two variable rate application systems used in precision irrigation: the pulse width modulation and the bi-model sequencing, on the distribution uniformities of the two systems and on the evaluation of their performance with regard to the different low operational pressured 1, 1.5 and 2 bar. Twenty-one tests were conducted with 90130 measurements...
متن کاملAdoption of centre pivot irrigation in the irrigated dairy industry of south-eastern Australia
This paper reports on a study to answer the research question; why do dairy farmers adopt (or not adopt as the case may be) centre pivot irrigation (CPI) in the Central Goulburn Irrigation District (CGID) of southeastern Australia? Twenty-two dairy farmers were interviewed. Ten of these farmers had adopted CPI, four were considering adopting, and eight of the farmers were not planning to adopt ...
متن کاملComparison of Water Distribution Characteristics for Two Kinds of Sprinklers Used for Center Pivot Irrigation Systems
Sprinkler selection influences the water distribution uniformity of center pivot irrigation systems. The sprinkling uniformity of the center pivot is crucial for the yield and quality of crops on a large scale. Rotating and fixed spray plate sprinklers (RSPSs and FSPSs) are the two most popular types. However, sprinkler selection is mainly based on price, not on differences in performance betwe...
