Irrigation Water Conveyance and Application Methods
Subtopic: Surface, sprinkler and micro irrigation methods
Question Statement:
A sprinkler irrigation lateral has 10 equally spaced sprinkler nozzles along its length. For 10 outlets, Christiansen's reduction factor for Hazen-Williams pipe flow is $F = 0.396$. If the friction head loss computed assuming the total lateral discharge passes through the entire length is $H_f = 6.0\text{ m}$, the actual continuous friction head loss in the lateral line $h_f = F \times H_f$ in metres is ________ (round off to 2 decimal places).
