Irrigation system performance evaluation: Conventional sprinkling, drip and centre pivot

Irrigation is an agricultural technique that artificially applies water to plants using methods that best suit the soil and crop. A well-designed irrigation system enables water application uniformity of over 90 per cent, which is considered a good index for irrigation. In this context, the aim was to assess the performance of conventional sprinkler, centre pivot and drip irrigation systems in terms of water distribution and application uniformity.
