IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF MICRO SPRINKLERS IRRIGATION BY REDUCING ITS RANDOM MOTION [PDF]
Misr Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2015 Limited fresh water resources become a serious issue worldwide particularly arid and semi-arid conditions. Therefore more efficient irrigation systems are fundamentally required to increase water productivity. Micro sprinklers are among these new systems to maximize irrigation efficiency. Random motion of micro sprinklers head reduces the uniformity of
