Effect of Dripline Flushing on Subsurface Drip Irrigation Systems [PDF]

Transactions of the ASABE, 2010
The velocity of dripline flushing in subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) systems affects system design, cost, management, performance, and longevity. A 30‐day field study was conducted at Kansas State University to analyze the effect of four targeted flushing velocities (0.23, 0.30, 0.46, and 0.61 m/s) for a fixed 15 min duration of flushing and three ...
