Self-evaluation

Self-evaluation of microirrigation systems

With a little guidance and motivation, it is not difficult to do an evaluation of your own microirrigation system. While a professional evaluation will be more thorough and provide more information, self-evaluation is cheaper and it can provide you with useful information such as the average emitter discharge rate and a measure of emitter discharge variability.
