Abstract

THE waterbrake was developed as a low cost means
of controlling the plug speed in the cablegation
automated surface irrigation system. The waterbrake is a
simple hydraulic device requiring no external power
source and can be built with locally available materials.
The design equations are an extension of those presented
in the previous papers. The cable reel design is also
discussed.
