Using a Sprinkler Infiltrometer and GAML Model to Predict Moving Sprinkler Performance in the Field

Date Issued:2016-06-30

Abstract

This project sought to verify whether the Mein-Larson variant of the Green-Ampt infiltration equation could work for time-varying application rates using real-world moving sprinkler systems. This required laboratory testing of sprinkler equipment, computer modelling and field trials to verify the modelling. Field measurements of surface runoff were problematic, however, and ultimately no conclusive position could be arrived at.
