描述
We think you are going to enjoy learning about irrigation design. This book has been written so you can learn the subject matter without the help of a teacher. All you need to do is read and study each chapter. The material is presented clearly and concisely, and many photos and illustrations are used to convey the ideas.
The chapters are arranged so that one chapter builds on the other. We have organized the subject matter so that you learn how to do irrigation design before getting into the more complicated aspects of irrigation such as basic hydraulics, pipe sizing, friction loss calculations and determining water pressure.
Throughout the book there is a careful blend of ideas from the irrigation system designer and the irrigation contractor. While both are an integral part of irrigation, interviews with the contractors proved very enlightening and have greatly contributed to better ways of designing an irrigation system like it will be built.
Simplified Irrigation Design is an understandable approach to learning about irrigation design. It really works! As each chapter was written, my wife, who is a music teacher and not very mechanically minded, would review the chapter for comprehension. If the chapter did not make sense to her it was rewritten!
Finally, this is a “we” book. Many irrigation designers, contractors and equipment manufacturers contributed to the content of the book. I put it all together with a good learning approach. We hope you will enjoy this resource and learn a great deal about the exciting field of irrigation design!
