A linear move sprinkler system was adapted to apply different amounts of water to random patterns of research plots in limited irrigation experiments. This is a further application of existing modified center pivot and linear move sprinkler systems for specialized research. Research outcomes will provide the technical foundation for policy decisions dealing with water allocations on a regional scale and the foundation for information to irrigators for making water allocation decisions on their own operations.
