Abstract
The Programa para el Manejo del Agua y del Suelo (PROMAS) assists the local farming community in introducing new types of locally available irrigation equipment that are both inexpensive and water efficient. Field experiments enabled determining the maximum application rates that cause zero runoff for slopes above 16% for low-cost sprinkler systems.
