IRRIGATION Rick Schlegel Agricultural Engineer USDA - NRCS OKLAHOMA

HOW IS OKLAHOMA NRCS ASSISTING WITH IRRIGATION AND SAVING WATER?  INSTALLING MORE EFFICIENT IRRIGATION SYSTEMS  DEVELOPING IRRIGATION WATER MANAGEMENT PLANS  PROMOTING IRRIGATION SCHEDULING USING EVAPOTRANSPIRATION (ET)  PROMOTING WELL DECOMMISIONING

HOW CAN WE MAKE SYSTEMS MORE EFFICIENT?  CONVERTING FROM LESS EFFICIENT FURROW OR SIDE ROLL IRRIGATION SYSTEMS TO MORE EFFICIENT CENTER PIVOTS OR LINEAR SYSTEMS  CONVERTING LESS EFFICIENT SPRINKLER SYSTEMS TO GREATER EFFICIENCIES OR REPLACING WITH SUBSURFACE DRIP SYSTEMS

GENERALLY SPEAKING, WHAT TYPES OF INEFFICIENT SYSTEMS ARE WE REPLACING?  Furrow Systems  Hand Move Systems  Side Roll Systems  Conventional Impact Systems  Conventional Spray Systems

FURROW IRRIGATION

FURROW IRRIGATION USING SIPHON TUBES

FURROW IRRIGATION USING GATED PIPE AND SURGE VALVE

Furrow Irrigation Using Collapsible Gated Pipe

Hand Move Sprinkler System

CONVENTIONAL SIDE ROLL IMPACT SPRINKLER Side Roll Sprinkler System

CONVENTIONAL IMPACT

CONVENTIONAL SPRAY

WHAT TYPES OF SYSTEMS ARE WE PROMOTING TO REPLACE THE OLDER LESS EFFICIENT SYSTEMS?  LEPA - Low Energy Precision Application  LESA - Low-Elevation Spray Application  LPIC - Low Pressure In-Canopy  MESA - Mid-Elevation Spray Application  Subsurface Drip Irrigation Systems

LEPA & LESA IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

 USDA-NRCS Sprinkler Certification Requirements  CPED PROGRAM  USDA-ARS developed the computer program  CPED needs a pivot design printout from the manufacturer for input data  CPED is used to certify the Coefficient of Uniformity (CU) of the pivot

OTHER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS  INSTALLING PRESSURE REGULATORS  INSTALLING FLOW METERS  INSTALLING CHEMIGATION VALVES  WELL DECOMMISSIONING
