Best Answer

The speed of rotation (time it takes to complete one circle) of a center pivot system will depend upon the system size (length), pump capacity and the amount of water to be applied.

The time required to complete one revolution increases as the length of the system increases. A limited pump capacity or water supply can also increase the time to complete one revolution.

Each center pivot irrigation system has a percentage timer equiped that regulates machine speed. This controls the end drive unit to operate the stated percent of one minute. The rotation speed of the last tower will depend too upon tires size and gearmotors specifications.

What factors helped allow for irrigated farming in the arid southwest of the US?

The main factor that led to irrigated farming in the southwest was the invention of the center-pivot irrigation system. The system was invented in 1948 by Frank Zybach, a farmer from Strasburg, Colorado. Much of the water used for irrigation in the Southwest US is from the Colorado River and groundwater.

What is irrigation farming?

Supplemental watering by cultivational, manual or mechanical means according to plant-specific moisture needs and without chemicals is a definition of organic farming irrigation. Cultivational means reference the use of gravity in surface irrigation. Manual or mechanical methods respectively refer to the use of hand-held cans and of pumps in center-pivot sprinkler systems and in drip irrigation.
