Description:A SPRINKLER FOR UNIFORMLY SPRINKLING A LIQUID
[0001] the present subject matter, in general, relates to a field of irrigation, in particularly, the present subject matter relates to a sprinkler for sprinkling water uniformly.
BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditionally, the sprinklers are made based on bridge technology in which water may not get distributed uniformly. Further, the sprinkler may also leave some dry patches within the area where water is being spread. In bridge type sprinklers, bridge area remains dry due to bridge hindrance in the sprinkler.
[0003] Also in the traditional sprinklers, water is divided into each tunnel that sprinkles water equally, causing a very less area coverage by the water being sprinkled.
[0004] Thus, there is a need for a solution to overcome above mentioned drawbacks.
OBJECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0005] Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment herein satisfy, are listed herein below.
