What is recommended for spray and rotor head coverage?

Head-to-head coverage is recommended for spray and rotor head coverage because it ensures that the area being irrigated receives uniform distribution of water. This technique involves positioning the spray heads so that their coverage patterns overlap sufficiently, creating a continuous area of coverage without dry spots. When the heads are spaced appropriately in a head-to-head manner, it allows the water from one head to complement the water from an adjacent head, providing consistent irrigation across the landscape.

This approach is particularly important in maintaining plant health and conserving water, as it minimizes the chance of under- or over-watering, both of which can lead to unhealthy plants and wasted resources. This method is essential for achieving an effective irrigation design that fulfills both plant needs and efficiency in water use.
