Background
Its approve that 50% of irrigated water is actually used
by plants and the remaining water resources are wasted.
Sprinkler irrigation system saves up to 50% of water
compared to surface irrigation method. That’s why we
interested and like to present a presentation on this
topic.

Introduction
Water is a key factor in increasing agricultural production,
in such case irrigation is most important factor. One such
method of modern irrigation is sprinkler irrigation system
which is becoming more and more popular among the
farmers across the developed country.

About Sprinkler Irrigation
Pressurized irrigation through devices called sprinklers Sprinklers are usually located on pipes called laterals
Water is discharged into the air and hopefully infiltrates near where it lands
7
Sprinkler Irrigation System
Spraying Water like a natural rainfall.
Water pressure through Nozzle.
pressure is provided by a pump.
Selection of nozzle sizes, operating pressure and
spacing.

Components of Sprinkler irrigation system
Water source - open well / tube well / bore well /
canal etc.
Pumping unit - centrifugal, submersible
Sprinkler - main and lateral pipe lines, riser pipe,
sprinklers (nozzles)
10
Other accessories used in the sprinkler system are
1. Reducers
2. Elbows
3. End plug Tees
4. Regulators and Gauges
5. Valves
6. Filters
11
Soil Suitability
Suitable for lands and on shallow soils.
best suited to coarse sandy terrain.
suitable in undulating terrain.
adopted in hilly regions.
12
Crops Suitability
all crops are suitable except crops like paddy,
jute, etc.
The dry crops, vegetables, flowering crops,
orchards, plantation crops like tea, coffee are all
suitable and can be irrigated through sprinklers.
13
General Rule For Sprinkler Irrigation System Deign
Main Should be laid up and down hill.Lateral should be laid across the slope or nearly on
the contour.For multiple lateral operation, lateral pipe sizes
should be more than two diameter.Water supply source should be nearest to the
center of the area.
14
General Rule For Sprinkler Irrigation System Deign Cont.
Layout should facilitate and minimize lateral movement during the season.
Booster pump should be considered where small portion of field would require high pressure at the pump.
Layout should be modified to apply different rates and amount of water soils are greatly different in the design area.
15
Selecting the most appropriate sprinkler system
While selecting a sprinkler system, the most important physical parameters to be considered are:1) The crop or crops to be cultivated.2) The shape and size (acres) of the field.3) The topography of the field.4) The amount of time and labor to operate the system.
16
Type of Sprinkler Systems
There are many types of Sprinkler systems available in the market. On the basisof the arrangement for spraying irrigation water, sprinkler systems are classifiedas :i) Rotating head systemii) Perforated Pipe system
17
Advantages
Sprinkler irrigation does not require surface shaping of leveling. Can be applied to areas of variable topography. Flexibility is possible because sprinkler heads are available in a
wide range of discharge capacities. cost of labor is generally reduced. Erosion of soil can be eliminated. Chemical and fertilizer applications are easily used with sprinkler
systems. No special skills trained personal can operate the system
reasonably well.
18
Advantages cont.
Frequent and light irrigation possible giving better response from the crops.
Increase in yield and quality, early ripening, water conservation and alternative value of specific period saving of labor, machinery, fertilizer and pesticides.
Soil moisture is maintained at optimum level by sprinkler irrigation and 20 higher yields are obtained of crops and the quality of other crops is also good.

CONSTRAINTS IN THE APPLICATION OF SPRINKLER IRRIGATION:
I. Uneven water distribution due to high winds.II. Evaporation loss when opening under high temperatures. III. Highly impermeable soils are not suitable.IV. Initial cost is high.V. Proper design.VI. Lack of package of practices.VII. Lack of awareness.VIII. Lack of social concern to save natural resources.IX. High water pressure required in sprinkler(>2.5kg/cm2)X. Difficulty in irrigation during wind in sprinkler.
