irrigation wheel/water wheel (paper) Explanation: from reading more similar to your text: http://programmemec.ma/ressources/RFQ-Rab-089-outilscomSIAM.... it appears that this is a pedagogical tool, and in the form of a 2-sided paper wheel you can see a picture of a similar paper wheel here: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.mcmua.com/imag... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2013-06-11 05:13:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- there are a few other names for these - such as wheel charts, spinners, volvelles http://www.datalizer.com/ nice examples here too: http://downtothecellar.blogspot.ca/2009/07/information-wheel... |

cardboard disc irrigation calculator Explanation: http://www.photomemorabilia.co.uk/Ilford/Exposure_Meters.htm... "Further thanks to Simon Spaans for the following images of the 1s (5p) heavy paper (cardboard) version of the 4-disc calculator. It is 63mm diameter. Notice that this 'paper' version probably dates later than the Aluminium version above, by virtue of it having additional Ilford plate type initials in the centre disc. It perhaps dates to around 1920. ... ... Wellcome” Photographic Exposure Calculator, Handbook and Diary 1936. Mint condition and unused, The data for use with the disc calculator in the back cover is obtained from the tables on the pages of the handbook."

manual irrigation guage (in the form of a rotatable disc) Explanation: I can't find an obvious equivalent term.. but as the passage goes on to describe what it is, perhaps you can get away without the bracketed part. à la carte I assume, other it would be "en carton"? A no-tec solution, designed for use in developing countries? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2013-06-11 09:58:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or "personalised manual irrigation guage" |

| Reference: CD Rom - game disc Reference information: this link has more about it: http://www.aufaitmaroc.com/economie/agricultures-et-peches/2... no question - it looks like a CD Rom to me.... Après avoir entré certaines données relatives à sa production agricole, l'agriculteur reçoit chaque matin un SMS l'informant sur le volume d'eau optimal qu'il doit utiliser. Ces volumes sont calculés par une application informatique gratuite qui se base sur les données météorologiques recueillies grâce à des stations agro-météorologiques fournies et installées par l'USAID dans ces deux régions. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2013-06-10 22:36:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you do a G-search for "irrigation à la carte" you will find lots more about this program ... they are some variations on it out there... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-06-10 23:22:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- this would be one component of such a system: http://www.slideshare.net/WERI/irrigation-futures-sms-text-d... otherwise, the CD Rom portion, which I think you would be taking about, would be similar to the Water Wise programs (which you can also google) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-06-10 23:32:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Farming Simulator would be another example (though I imagine/hope it would be a customized CD Rom game...) http://www.farming-simulator.com/about.php -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2013-06-11 03:12:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- aha ... from looking further at what is probably your text, I would say this is an "irrigation wheel" as it looks like it is made out of paper... will post this as an answer |
