Question

With what type of mounting does a sprinkler irrigation network give the best results?

(a) Revolving Sprinkler Heads

(b) Nozzles

(c) Open Pipes

(d) Pipes with holes near the crop

I got this question in examination.

The question is from Techniques of Water Distribution in the Farms in section Water Requirements of Crops of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Revolving Sprinkler Heads

The best explanation: Generally in sprinkler irrigation system water flows with pressure in the pipes. So, sometimes the pressure may be low or high depending upon the water availability, and crop requirement. So, revolving sprinkler heads are mounted upon these rising pipes because these sprinklers can work under both high and low pressures.
