Irrigation For Mass Production

Irrigation continues to be the most practical and cost effective method of applying

wastewater to fields so that nutrients contained in the wastewater can be used by growing plants. An irrigation system is a system that delivers water to an area where water is needed. It is generally used for agriculture and landscaping. While the aim of an effective irrigation system is to employ an irrigator that is going to supply as much water to the plants or into the soil as possible, it is not at all an easy thing to do as there are more important things to consider like water should only be directed at targeted areas and ensure less evaporation and transpiration. In Australia, Tasmania has many irrigation systems that are effective at doing this and therefore have a high water efficiency rate. A low energy precision application Centre pivot irrigation system, for example is a form of overhead pivot irrigation that has steel or aluminum pipes joined together, supported by trusses, mounted on wheeled towers. The sprinklers are hanging down from massive arms that spray water from a level just above the plants height and they move in a circular motion.

Travelling Irrigator is another system that keeps high water efficiency where the irrigator is driven by double action hydraulic water motor with a cable connected at the other end of the field that makes the machine walk along a fixed lane. Water is supplied by a flexible hose which is dragged behind the machine. The speed of the irrigator and the amount of water applied into the soil is controlled by a simple valve which regulates the irrigators traveling speed. The slower the speed, the more water is supplied. Hard hose irrigator uses pump set to deliver water from underground pipes to the risers strategically located throughout the field. The water flows from the riser through the hard hose to a single-trailer-mounted large volume sprinkler. A hose reel, located at the riser, turns continuously to roll up the hose and pull the trailer mounted gun through the fields.

The key to an effective irrigation system is to keep the water as close to the place of need as possible. While other irrigation equipment will not meet this standard, like when a system sprays water over a tremendous distance, it begins to break up from a steady stream and eventually becomes small droplets, or even a mist. On hot and sunny days, a good portion of this water never makes it to the ground. Some of the water can be clearly seen going up, not down.

For those who must use equipment that are not as efficient, there are other ways that can help improve the efficiency of water delivery and at the same time conserve water. For example, sprinkling during hours when the sun is down helps incur less water evaporation. Also making sure an irrigation system does not automatically turn on during times of adequate rainfall can help conserve water.

No matter what irrigation equipment is chosen, it will in any way have a bigger impact in improving farm production. In Tasmania, Van Diemens Irrigation offers Australia an amazing selection of irrigation equipment that can be adjusted to your irrigation requirements.
