Managing Furrow Irrigation Systems

G1338
Published 2007

Often, irrigating an entire field as quickly as possible is the goal of a furrow irrigator. While irrigators may be satisfied just to get the water to the end of the furrows, consideration should be given to how much water is applied and how it is distributed. This publication discusses
furrow irrigation, evaluating and changing current practices, set-time and stream size, length of run, intake rates, every-other furrow irrigation and reuse irrigation.
