Abstract/Contents:Provides potential tips for finding the source of irrigation system failures. Suggests that "the first thing to understand is that the orientation of fractures, cracks and breaks is perpendicular to the direction of the causing forces." Explains that the texture of the failure surface may show signs of how the damaged may have progressed.
