Abstract
This publication presents procedures to separately evaluate the effects of pressure variations in the pipe network (hydraulic uniformity) and variations due to the emitter characteristics (emitter performance variation) on uniformity of water application. Knowing both of these factors will help an irrigation system manager identify the causes of low application uniformities and the corrections that may be required to improve the uniformity of water application.
