What is a primary function of a rotor head in irrigation systems?

A rotor head in irrigation systems is designed to cover larger areas effectively by distributing water over a wide range through a rotating nozzle. This rotation allows for an even distribution of water across the designated area, making it ideal for applications such as lawns, sports fields, and agricultural fields where a larger coverage is desired. The ability of the rotor head to adjust the arc of coverage and the distance it can spray water makes it a versatile option for areas that require uniform irrigation. In terms of efficiency and water conservation, rotor heads can also be more effective at minimizing runoff and ensuring that water penetrates the soil adequately.
