Subject: Irrigation Underground problem?


West Texas
I've lost about 14 pounds at my pivot. I thought I had pump problems, but everything check out fine. So I'm thinking maybe water is running out.

Here's my question, I have 40 pounds of pressure 900 feet from my pivot. I've got the pivot tipped for 525 gpm at 25 psi, and I'm only running 14 pounds at the pivot. I've got 8 inch underground pvc, is it possible I've got an underground leak that isn't coming to the top because its so dry and just running down the ditch. I'm at a loss. The underground is in wheat that's about waist high making it even more difficult to find any potential leaks.
