In order to support the theoretical basis and contribute to the improvement of educational capability issues relating to irrigation systems design, this point of view presents an alternative deduction of the variance of the discharge as a bidimensional and independent random variable. Then a subsequent brief application of an existing model is applied for statistical design of laterals in micro-irrigation. The better manufacturing precision of emitters allows lengthening a lateral for a given soil slope, although this does not necessarily mean that the statistical uniformity throughout the lateral will be more homogenous.

The Building Process was formally established as an Area of Emphasis by the Department of Architecture at Berkeley in 1988 with Christopher Alexander as the head. This step was taken in recognition of changing demands in architectural education and practice and the need to investigate design, planning and construction as one integrated process. Hajo Neis joined this new area in 1990 as a faculty, and describes the development, achievements and current state of this new direction in architectural education and its connection to architectural research and practice.
