The processes described in this document are intended to be applied to agricultural irrigation systems. This document does not address domestic, flood or landscape irrigation systems.  \nThe original purpose of the Guidelines is to provide a consistent guide for irrigation designers of piped irrigation systems in the state of Queensland. It describes a general design methodology and highlights elements that must be considered when planning, designing, and implementing a new irrigation development. In addition, it provides corresponding design parameters to be used by the Designer to define such systems and to determine the system’s performance.  \nIt is intended that the Guidelines should be expanded and relate to all piped irrigation systems in both Rural and Landscape in all Australian states except for Domestic Garden Systems which will have separate Guideline details.  \nThe Guidelines should be used primarily to ensure that all the main design aspects have been considered. They do not amend or replace other industry performance indicators, guidelines, codes of practice or standards.  \nThis document is intended to provide important information to anyone involved in the design, installation and commissioning of a new irrigation system. This includes irrigation designers and consultants, equipment resellers, installation contractors; and may also assist Irrigators, engineers, equipment suppliers, councils and local government bodies.  \nThis document is intended as an industry best practice guideline. Designers, contractors and industry professionals should interpret it according to the requirements of the Irrigator. All decisions made must also comply with statutes, regulations, and other legal requirements and industry standards.  \ni | P a g e  \nAcknowledgements  \nThe Queensland State Government’s Department of Natural Resources and Mines, in consultation with its stakeholders and as part of its Rural Water Use Efficiency for Irrigation Futures (RWUE-IF) program has initiated the development of the RWUE-IF Rural Irrigation System Design – Standards (RISD-SCoP) renamed in 2017 the“Irrigation System Design Guidelines”.  \nOrganisations, individuals and stakeholders also contributing to the preparation of this document include:  \n▪ Irrigation Australia Limited  \n▪ Irrigation New Zealand  \n▪ Daley Water Services Pty Ltd  \n▪ Queensland Farmers Federation  \n▪ Growcom  \n▪ Turf Queensland  \n▪ CANEGROWERS  \n▪ Nursery & Garden Industry Queensland  \n▪ Flower Association of Queensland Inc.  \n▪ Qld Dairy farmers Organisation  \n▪ Gary Campbell -ARITAS Irrigation Solutions Pty Ltd  \n▪ Individuals, farmers, and staff from irrigation design and supply companies in Queensland, who willingly provided advice  \n▪ Gennaro Velotti (Netafim)  \n▪ Simon Cowland-Cooper  \nFinancial support for the initial preparation of this document has been provided jointly by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines and Irrigation Australia Limited.  \nii | P a g e  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nPREFACE....................................................................................................................... i  \n1.
