Resumo:
In the technical evaluation of the performance of the semifixed sprinkler
irrigation system of the Barreiras Irrigation Project, in Petrolandia-PE, it was found that
the service pressure varied 44.80% compared to the recommended pressure (2.50 atm)
and that the Christiansen Uniformity Coeficient (CUC) and the application efficiency
(Ae) were around 69.73 and 47.28%, respectivily, under a mean wind velocity of 1.88 _+
1.31 m/sec. The best values were found under a service pressure of 2.93 atm, where
CUC and Ae were 86.00 and 78.89%, respectivily.
