Irragation Websites

These are a few website that I found interesting.

The first website: http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/irmethods.html

"Irrigation techniques" this website explains the history of "bucket irrigation". This website is explains the downsides of home irrigation systems but also gives some ways to be more efficient. Examples are capturing run off, surge flooding, and leveling fields.

Second Website: http://www.yardfairy.com/environmentally-friendly-landscaping-tips.html

"Environmentally Friendly Landscaping Tip" I like this article because it writes about pathways that are most effective when trying to have the least amount of run off. This website is also very good for garden layout. The article explains a lot of ways that makes it so less water is used which is good for irrigation.

Third Website: http://www.missionrcd.org/Pub%20Ed%20-%20Rainbow%20Creek/Agriculture/Micro-Irrigation%20Tips%20brochure.pdf

This is a HTML for irrigation tips. This paper has a section in it about water pressure. i found it very useful because of the language that it uses (head unit, block inlets, lateral lines). Also it explains what that is and how to use it properly. Also at the end it gives details about each section (like a mini dictionary)
