Surface seal development has been linked to rainfall energy and intensity, as well as to soil aggregate stability (Thompson and James, 1985; Lehrsch and Kincaid, 2010). Large droplets may lead to erosion of the soil resulting from a reduction in water infiltration rate (Dwomoh et al., 2014). This is because large droplets possess high kinetic energy and on impart they disrupt soil surface, especially in soils with crustiness problems, leading to sealing of the soil surface (Kincaid, 1996). For this reason, it is becoming convenient for irrigators to reduce runoff and erosion by converting from sprinklers that emit large drops to those that emit smaller droplets
