MODELING INFILTRATION UNDER MOVING SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS.

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT A modified Mein and Larson model was employed to predict time to surface ponding and corresponding volume of water infiltrated under two types of center pivot irrigation systems. Predictions were made for two soil types with differing surface cover. Results were com-pared with those observed in the field. The model did a good job of predicting time to surface ponding for the soil with a well protected surface. For a soil with in-complete cover, the prediction of both time to ponding and the corresponding volume was poor.
