Solid Set Sprinkler Design For An Apricot Orchard, Kyle Moeller

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

The goal of this project was to design a solid set sprinkler system as well as a cost analysis for a 60 acre field. This allows for water to be distributed throughout an entire field at low flow rates allowing water to be used more efficiently and effectively. Completing a design such as this will allow some cost saving by the farmer throughout the systems use.
