Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development and application of pneumatic valves for automated irrigation systems. The author documents the increasing competition for water resources in the Western U.S. and presents a history of automated irrigation systems. The text continues with a detailed description of the structure, function, and laboratory and field testing of several models of pneumatic valves for use in both underground pipelines and open ditches, including their durability, time to open and close, and the varying amounts of air pressure required to close them at various depths. The book concludes with recommendations for future research, particularly portable pneumatic checks and valves with fail-safe features. These innovations have the potential to revolutionize irrigation, saving farmers time, labor, and water, while increasing efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
