Book Description
The regular pumping sound and motion of a center pivot irrigation system is the heartbeat of many successful farming operations—yet this technology remains a mystery to millions. Flying over agricultural regions, many airline passengers look down with curiosity on the circles of green with no understanding that what they are seeing is their food supply in production. Rainmakers: A Photographic Story of Center Pivots takes us on a journey that explains how center pivot irrigation contributes to the food on which we depend. This important story is presented through instructive and beautiful photographs that make the book a visual delight for even the casual reader. The goal of Rainmakers is to convey the history and complexity of center pivots and how such technology has become an integral part of nourishing out world. Rainmakers includes a foreword by Nebraska Congressman Tom Osborne, an essay by David Howe, an epilogue by Susan Seacrest, and captivating images taken by both professional and amateur photographers.

Book Description
Centre pivots and lateral moves (CPLM) are pressurised irrigation systems that supply water to crops or pastures. They are suitable for a wide range of broadacre farming enterprises, different soil types and undulating terrain. This book is about: · the components of centre pivot and linear move irrigation systems · unique features of CPLM pressurised irrigation systems · fundamentals of a pressurised irrigation system and their impact on efficiency · measuring performance of CPLM systems · pressure and discharge tests on a pressurised irrigation system · pressure and discharge variations · how the performance characteristics impact on total water use and crop uniformity · evaluating the function of an irrigation system. This book focuses on the water delivery aspects and the key measures of efficiency: Field Application Efficiency, Distribution Uniformity, Average Application Rate and Average Application Depth per Pass. This publication was produced by Education Delivery, Tocal College. It supports the following competencies from National Training Package AHC10 Agriculture, Horticulture, Conservation and Land Management: AHCIRG502A – Design irrigation system maintenance and monitoring program

Book Description
The artificial techniques which are employed to apply controlled amounts of water with the objective of assisting agricultural activities fall under irrigation. The discipline finds a wide variety of applications such as maintenance of landscapes, revegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas, frost protection, suppression of weed growth, and prevention of soil consolidation. According to the method of water supply and the amount of water supplied, irrigation techniques can be classified into surface irrigation, micro irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and sub irrigation. Sprinkler irrigation can be further divided into methods using central pivot, lateral move, lawn sprinklers and hose-end sprinklers. Some of the different water sources which are used for irrigation systems are springs, wells, rivers, lakes, drainage water and treated wastewater. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to irrigation. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of irrigation. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
