Homes, both old and new, often have many cracks and openings, especially around windows and doors. These cracks are prime sources of heat loss by air leakage—warm air seeps out through cracks and is replaced by cold, outdoor air. Annoying drafts are present near windows or doors which need weather...

More than 4.5 million acres in the Pacific Northwest are irrigated with electric-powered sprinkler systems. Center pivots are used on about 1.25 million acres. Irrigation runoff can be a problem on many of these sprinkler-irrigated fields.
The main purpose for irrigating is to supply needed water for crops. Plant growth is dependent on photosynthesis. While the plant exchanges gases with the air for photosynthesis, some water evaporates. Water is taken up from the soil by plant roots to replace
this water. The water leaving the plant...
When designing or retrofitting an irrigation
system, one of the key decisions is picking the
proper size pipes and fittings for the system. The
best pipe size or fitting is not always the one with
the lowest initial cost. The important consideration
is the lowest cost of ownership. The objective...
This “walk-through” worksheet provides a method for making an organized inspection of an entire irrigation system, both hydraulics and hardware. This inspection will help identify components that need maintenance, repair, replacement, or other attention—so that the system will provide the most satisfactory, safe, and efficient performance.
