The angle of inclination of a sprinkler nozzle, which is the angle at which the water stream is projected from the nozzle relative to the horizontal plane, significantly affects both the radius of throw and water distribution uniformity, especially under windy conditions. A lower angle of inclination, meaning the water stream is closer to horizontal, generally results in a shorter radius of throw. This is because the water droplets spend less time in the air and are more susceptible to the effects of gravity, causing them to fall closer to the sprinkler. However, under windy conditions, a lower angle can be advantageous. The lower trajectory reduces the amount of time the water....
