Inc Isbn 9781118608722 Developing Irrigation Sys

Proposal:

After researching the topic, the team decided to do an irrigation system for a soccer field. Using well-established irrigation methods, the team will develop and design an irrigation system for a soccer field. Taking in account factors such as the annual/seasonal/monthly rain and shaded areas and plant consumption of water. The system will contain all the necessary parts such as pumps, piping and nozzles.

INSTRUCTION:

You will develop a 4-5-page overview (including calculations and references) of a contemporary issue in fluid mechanics. This semester, I would like to know how you would use what you learned in this Fluid Mechanics course to address water scarcity in arid or densely populated area for agriculture or environmental purposes. A solution is to increase water productivity, which is to minimize the amount of water used for agricultural or environmental purposes. Your task for this semester is to design and calculate an irrigation system for a 0.25-acre piece of land in Morgantown, WV. The land can be an orchard or a garden. Use well-established irrigation methods such as flood irrigation. sprinkler irrigation, trickle irrigation, or surface drip. Once you calculated the water needs (be sure to consider the annual/seasonal/monthly amount of rain), you must design a simple system that will deliver the water to the locations of interest. The system will include an electric pump and all the piping and nozzles (if needed). You must show all the equations you used for calculations and explain why you used them.

FORMAT:

This will be on an 8.5 x 11 page, single space, Times New Roman, 12 pt, 1” margin. If you include a graph, photo or image, you can go up to 5 pages. 5 pages is the MAX. Make sure to list ALL references used to develop this summary
