What would be the consequence of operating an irrigation system with inadequate pressure at the last sprinkler head?

Operating an irrigation system with inadequate pressure at the last sprinkler head leads to reduced water efficiency. When the pressure is too low, the sprinklers may not provide the necessary coverage and distribution of water, resulting in uneven watering across the area. This can cause some parts to receive insufficient moisture while others may get too much, leading to waste and ineffective irrigation.

Low pressure can also mean that the water is not atomized properly, making it harder for the system to deliver water at the optimal rate, which can further reduce the effectiveness of water application. Consequently, plants may suffer from stress due to inconsistent watering, ultimately affecting their growth and health. Hence, ensuring proper pressure across all components of the irrigation system is essential for maintaining water efficiency and achieving optimal watering results.
