What phrase can assist in remembering the correct spacing of catch devices?

“At a valve, one foot apart”
“At a sprinkler, halfway to the next”
“One meter on either side”
“Equal distance between all devices”

The correct answer is: “At a sprinkler, halfway to the next”

The phrase “At a sprinkler, halfway to the next” effectively captures the principle of spacing catch devices in irrigation systems. This guideline emphasizes the importance of placing catch devices, such as rain gauges or catch cans, at a distance that is half the distance between adjacent sprinklers. This spacing ensures that sufficient water distribution is measured effectively while minimizing gaps and overlaps in the irrigation coverage. By positioning the catch devices in this manner, one can accurately assess the performance of the sprinklers, identifying if they are operating within their intended design parameters. Using this phrase aids in recalling the optimal placement of the devices, leading to better irrigation assessments and improving water efficiency. It aligns with the overall goal of ensuring that catch devices effectively capture the application rates of neighboring sprinklers without redundancy or voids.
