Under-Tree Sprinkler Design In A Walnut/Cherry Orchard, Edward Caminata
BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
The goal of this project is to design a permanent under-tree sprinkler system for a 50 acre walnut and cherry orchard in Linden, CA. This will allow irrigation water to be delivered to the trees more uniformly and decrease the labor requirements needed to irrigate. This design will target a value of 0.92 for the Distribution Uniformity of each set throughout the system.
