Center pivot is a method of crop irrigation in which equipment’s rotate around a pivot and crops are watered with sprinklers. It is economical, has low operation and maintenance cost and reliable method of irrigation. In this thesis the types of irrigation and pumps is briefly discussed, the fundamental equations of head components are presented, discussed, and calculated. Various design requirements are discussed, pump specifications and power requirements are calculated, and bill of quantities are determined.
