Why (briefly)

Applying Irrigation Water in Circles (vs. squares)
Why it’s a little trickier on the circle:
In a rectangular system eachsprinkler applies water to an Identically sized Area (A)
In a circular system the areaincreases as the radius increasesHence, each sprinkler applies water to a differently sized Area (A)

1 432
A1 = A2 = A3 = A4 A1 < A2 < A3 < A4

Circle Area ComputationsArea = π R2
On a Typical Pivot System?(System Capacity = 6 gpm / acre)
Sprinklers are sized appropriatelyalong length of pivot to maintainuniform applications along linear length of the center pivot machine

Modeling Procedure• Enter background information (Producer,
Location, County, State, Designed By, Date).
• System Wetted Length (ft). – Identify, and enter the center pivot system length.
• System Capacity without End Gun (gpm) – Enter the flow rate of the system with the end gun shut off, in gallons per minute.
• Application Amount (in) – Enter the application amount in inches.
![Page 25: Conservation Planning Existing Center Pivots](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681660b550346895dd946e6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Modeling Procedure• Wetted Diameter (ft) – Enter the
sprinkler/nozzle wetted diameter at the end of the pivot.
• Intake Family - Enter the NRCS Intake Family of the soil type from the Soil Survey, or as found in Chapter 2 of the National Irrigation Guide, Part 652.
• The program uses these values to select a soil water infiltration curve.
![Page 26: Conservation Planning Existing Center Pivots](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681660b550346895dd946e6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Weaselage: The field being modeled will rarely have
uniform soil types and slopes, so the user must make decisions on which position in the field to evaluate the
system. In some cases, the user should evaluate the system for different
positions in the field, creating different input scenarios. The scenario that could
potentially generate the greatest amount of runoff should be chosen.
![Page 27: Conservation Planning Existing Center Pivots](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681660b550346895dd946e6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Guidelines (draft 12/1/11)• Exclude separate soil type areas that are
less than 10% of the total field area.• Choose a position where the system will
cross the soil type with the lowest intake family value with the greatest slopes. In situations where the system would cross soil types with different intake families, model the soil with the lowest intake family value.
• Use an average slope when utilizing the constant slope option.
![Page 28: Conservation Planning Existing Center Pivots](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681660b550346895dd946e6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Guidelines (cont)• When the steepest position in the field occurs at
a higher intake family than other portions of the field, model separate scenarios (smallest intake family position, steepest slope position) and compare.
• The further distance away from the center point the worst case field conditions are, the greater their impact on runoff will be. In some instances, if the worst-case field conditions are close to the center point, the remainder of the field may determine the minimum sprinkler wetted diameter.
