Terms And Tables For Water Measurement And Management, Kevin Heaton, Trent Wilde, Clark Israelsen, Robert W. Hill Jul 2011

Terms And Tables For Water Measurement And Management, Kevin Heaton, Trent Wilde, Clark Israelsen, Robert W. Hill

All Current Publications

Dramatic land development of agriculture operations has resulted in the development of small acreage parcels of 1 to10 acres across Utah.


Small Acreage Low Flow (Micro Or Drip) Irrigation System Design And Installation, Ronald Patterson Oct 2008

Small Acreage Low Flow (Micro Or Drip) Irrigation System Design And Installation, Ronald Patterson

All Current Publications

Irrigation has been an essential part of Utah’s agriculture since pioneer days. Over half of Utah’s 1.3 million irrigated acres are watered using surface methods such as flood, furrow, border, or basin irrigation.


Small Acreage Irrigation Management, Kevin M. Heaton Sep 2008

Small Acreage Irrigation Management, Kevin M. Heaton

All Current Publications

Field irrigation application methods include surface (wild flooding, border, furrow, basins), sprinkler (hand line, wheel move, solid set, center pivot), low flow or micro-irrigation (drip, trickle, micro-spray), and subirrigation (water table manipulation under special conditions).


Small Acreage Irrigation System Operation And Maintenance, Robert W. Hill, Ronald Patterson, James V. Barnhill Apr 2008

Small Acreage Irrigation System Operation And Maintenance, Robert W. Hill, Ronald Patterson, James V. Barnhill

All Current Publications

Surface irrigation includes flood (sometimes denoted “wild flood,” as in uncontrolled), furrow, border, and basin. Surface irrigation operation and maintenance may be more of an art than a science.

Garden Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill Jun 2002

Garden Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill

All Current Publications

The goal of garden irrigation is to maintain yield and quality by replacing water lost to the atmosphere from the soil by evaporation, and from leaf surfaces by transpiration. The combination of evaporation and transpiration is referred to as evapotranspiration (Et), or simply water use. Garden water use is presented in units of inches of water per day, week or month.


Turfgrass Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill, Kelly L. Kopp Jun 2002

Turfgrass Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill, Kelly L. Kopp

All Current Publications

The goal of turfgrass irrigation is to maintain quality by replacing water lost to the atmosphere from the soil by evaporation, and from leaf surfaces by transpiration. The combination of evaporation and transpiration is referred to as evapotranspiration (Et), or simply water use.


How Well Does Your Irrigation Canal Hold Water?, Robert Hill Mar 2000

How Well Does Your Irrigation Canal Hold Water?, Robert Hill

All Current Publications

Irrigation canals placed in native soil or lined with earth can have seepage water losses varying from 20 percent to more than 50 percent. Well designed, new compacted earth lined canals can have reduced seepage losses similar to concrete lined channels. However, consistent and regular maintenance is required to keep seepage losses low. Older concrete lined canals with deteriorated joints and frost heave or settled sections may also have high seepage losses and require rehabilitating.


Energy Conservation With Irrigation Water Management, Robert Hill May 1999

Energy Conservation With Irrigation Water Management, Robert Hill

All Current Publications

Irrigators in Utah experienced rapidly increasing energy costs from the mid 1970s to the late 1980s. These costs remain relatively high. Those who are pumping from deep wells are particularly interested in ways to cut back on energy use without doing away with profitability or production
