2. Introduction
It is approve that 50% of irrigated water is actually used by plants & the remaining water resources are wasted. Sprinklers irrigation system saves up to 50% of water compared to surface irrigation method. Sprinkle irrigation is the method of irrigation by which water is sprayed on the land surface in the form of artificial rain. To create the precipitation, water under pressure is ejected through the nozzle of a device called a sprinkler.

4. Objectives consumption of water to irrigate the crops
 1. To develop a smart irrigation system in order to get a significant saving in the
consumption of water to irrigate the crops
2. To control the water application convenient for giving light and frequent
irrigation and higher water application efficiency.
To use soluble fertilizers and chemicals.
To provide sufficient flow capacity to meet the irrigation demand.
To reduce the erosion of soil that is common in surface irrigation system.
To conduct fundamental and applied research in water management.

10. Design of Sprinkler Irrigation System
1. Main should be laid up and down hill.
2. Lateral should be laid across the slope or nearly on the
contour.
3. For multiple lateral operation, lateral pipe sizes should not
be more than two diameter.
4. Water supply source should be nearest to the center of the
area.
5. Layout should facilitate and minimize lateral movement
during the season.
6. Booster pump should be considered where small portion of
field would require high pressure at the pump.
7. Layout should be modified to apply different rates and
amounts of water where soils are greatly different in the
design area.

11. Significance of Sprinkler Irrigation System
Save Time: Irrigation systems work on their own, so no more wasting time manually watering. Now you have more time to do the things you love, while your lawn gets what it needs to thrive.
Save Money: The benefits of an irrigation system outweigh the initial cost of the system, which will pay for itself sooner than you think.
Save Water: Installing an irrigation system can conserve water while maintaining a healthy landscape.
