The Second Edition of this best-selling academic guide to irrigation design has
been completely rewritten so you can understand it easily. Created for the
irrigation designer and installer, as well as students, Simplified Irrigation
Design clearly explains irrigation design and related hydraulics, without the
need for interpretation by teachers. Each chapter builds on the other,
presenting all the fundamentals of irrigation design before getting into the
more complicated aspects of irrigation, such as:
basic hydraulics
pipe sizing
friction loss calculations
determining water pressure.
Photos and illustrations show exactly how every concept and piece of equipment
works. In addition, you'll learn how to estimate costs and write
specifications. Pipe sizes are described according to ASTM to help you fully
understand the limits of irrigation pipe use. The expanded Second Edition of
this popular guide to landscape irrigation includes all the latest equipment and
techniques. Just a few of the new features include:
Methods of conserving water to help you anticipate your clients'
environmental concerns
Computerized methods for managing labor and irrigation systems that will
help you save money on labor and water costs
Metric values for every Imperial (U.S.) measurement, enabling you to meet
federal metric guidelines and better communicate with an international
audience.
Another bonus: the author has combed the minds of irrigation designers,
contractors, and equipment manufacturers to help you avoid costly mistakes that
even veterans make. Whether you're just learning or brushing up on the latest
technology, you'll want to read the Second Edition of Simplified Irrigation
Design from cover to cover. 240 pp.
