Resumo: | A good supply of groundwater and the commercial development  of center pivot irrigation systems significantly increased  sprinkler-irrigated acreage in southern Idaho during the late 1960s  and early 1970s. Today, center pivot systems, with their automation,  large areal coverage, reliability, high application uniformity, and ability  to operate on relatively rough topography, are replacing  surface; handline, and wheelline systems.  The irrigated area under a center pivot system expands  substantially with increasing system length. To accommodate the  increased area, the application rate increases linearly along the  center pivot lateral through one of two methods: increased flow  rates through equally spaced Sprinklers or gradually decreased  spacing of equal-flow sprinklers along the center pivot lateral. The  most common approach is to have equally spaced sprinklers with  increasing flow rates (nozzle sizes) along the center pivot lateral.
