The purpose of this design guide is to acquaint the irrigation designer with some of the unique considerations involved in designing linear irrigation system installations. This guide does not attempt to cover the basic linear irrigation system design considerations such as water quality, crop consumptive use requirements, water management, climate, etc; it is assumed the…
Irrigated acreage, when combined with the crop water needs, form the basis for the system water requirement.
